TECHNICAL SURVEY
The technical survey is carried out in order to collect detailed technical and topographical information about the confirmed and suspected hazardous areas, which allows to more accurately defining the demining requirements, including the areas to be demined, the depth of demining, the condition of the soil layer, and the characteristics of the vegetation.
It allows formulating progressive requirements and ensuring that operations are carried out accurately, safely and promptly, organizing the implementation of monitoring, validating data, assessing the types and quantities of sources and drawing up a demining plan that includes area cancelation, redaction, demining and marking requirements.
CLEARANCE
An area is considered "cleared" when the demining team maintains the removal and/or elimination of all mines and ERW from a certain area and at a certain depth.
An area is subject to clearance is determined by a non-technical or technical survey, which shows the level of presence of mines and explosive remnants in that area.
The priorities of cleaning are determined by examining and assessing the impact of a particular community.
