In Singapore, the reduced availability of training areas for the military has led to mounting pressure being placed on existing training ground and facilities. As they are overused, existing training ground and facilities are increasingly contaminated and the need to maintain a safe training environment for military personnel becomes more urgent.
Explomo undertakes ordnance contamination reduction on behalf of the Singapore Ministry of Defense using ex-military personnel who are experienced in compliance to military clearance standards and operating procedures. In addition, we also design maintenance schedules to meet the military precise needs so that contamination reduction can be more effectively managed. Explomo provides such services to the Singapore military since 1997 and is still the current contractor.
Explomo has also carried out detection of ordnance projects. Significant projects are the Woodlands checkpoint, the reclamation projects around Jurong Island and ordnance-contaminated areas in Malaysia.
Following a comprehensive threat assessment, and providing there is no landmine or booby-trap threat, Explomo can conduct a non-intrusive survey of any area. A precise anomaly map of the area will be produced that can be used to identify potential items of live ordnance. This can be done underwater too, including riverbanks, lake bottoms and seabed. In areas where there is a mine or booby-trap threat, Explomo Demining teams will conduct remote survey in order to identify the live ordnance threat and determine the true extent of that contamination.
All survey operations will be conducted in accordance with UN International Mine Standards (IMAS). In addition, personnel who undertake survey operations will be made available to escort other agencies and advise them on the existing threat.
