ECG: a safe business

A large number of bombs, grenades, mines and ammunitions that did not explode during the Second World War are still present in the soil in the Netherlands. The condition of these conventional explosives (CE) is deteriorating due to the influence of weather conditions and groundwater. Building and development projects can experience lengthy delays due to the potential presence of CE and it can represent a danger to persons who come upon them during interventions in the soil. As a government authority or area developer it is very important to quickly acquire insight into the condition of your site. Indeed, the golden rule that applies in the event of hidden explosives is that prevention is better than cure.

Based on extensive specialised knowledge and years of experience in the area of detecting explosives, ECG can provide a clear picture of the situation pertaining to your specific site. This requires in-depth preliminary analysis, if necessary supplemented by detection at the site. The area can then be approached for clearing and if necessary, securing the explosives. ECG’s strengths?

- Qualified employees who in addition to their own skills and experience have immediate access to all supplementary knowledge and resources that a specific project could possibly require.

- Innovative approach. ECG closely monitors all developments in this domain and makes use of the most modern analysis and detection techniques.

- The right price, thanks to the elements specified above and a practical approach.

The nature, scope and preconditions for an analysis are carefully reviewed with the customer in advance and are then set down. This also takes the degree of certainty required by the customer into consideration: ECG provides the right direction; the customer stays in the driver’s seat.
