Separation

We have various techniques for separating ordnance and explosives from the soil/dredge spoil. These techniques are mostly used where explosives cannot be located by conventional detection methods, for instance if the location of an individual object cannot be verified due to the presence of ferrous objects in the vicinity.

Van den Herik has a variety of techniques for use with excavated soil and dredge spoil. These include separation using various types of screener, electromagnetic ferrous metal separators, beach cleaners etc.

The choice of separation method depends on the expected classification of explosives and the structure of the soil/dredge spoil. Each situation is different and requires a specific approach. For specialist advice, we prefer a personal approach.
