UDS has obtained a certificate of compliance for "Technical Survey."
Humanitarian demining is a global project that will define the post-war development of our country.
This is a mandatory stage that will create conditions for the restoration of social and engineering infrastructure in liberated territories. Currently, according to experts' estimates, about 40,000 square kilometers of land are available for demining. This is one-fifth of the total area of territories contaminated by the consequences of war in Ukraine.
These are territories located more than 20 km away from the front line or the borders of the aggressor country. Humanitarian demining begins with social, logistical, and engineering infrastructure to create conditions for the return of people and to ensure a full life in the territories and the recovery/launch of business processes. Humanitarian demining consists of several stages.
Previously, we talked about non-technical survey (NTS) [link]. Today, we are discussing the next step - technical survey (TS).
So, based on the results of NTS, the territory is classified as "Suspected Dangerous Area" or "Potentially Dangerous Area," and decisions are made on the terms, method, and manner of conducting TS, as well as determining the necessary forces and means.
During the planning stage of TS, interaction is established with the relevant local authorities, territorial units of the State Emergency Service, the National Police, the Armed Forces, and other military formations, as well as enterprises, institutions, and organizations of various forms of ownership.
TS can be carried out separately or in conjunction with demining operations. Technical survey of contaminated territories using technical means allows:
- to find/collect direct evidence of the presence of explosive objects or, conversely,
- to refute previously obtained evidence of contamination;
- to analyze the collected data;
- to prepare proposals for determining the priority of unlocking such territories by conducting demining or confirming the classification of the territory by danger status.
The main methods of conducting technical surveys of contaminated territories are:
- manual demining;
- demining using machines and mechanisms;
- demining using canine calculations of the mine-search and rescue service;
- demining by a combined method.
TS is carried out by the UDS humanitarian demining group, which includes only demining specialists who have undergone training and received the appropriate sapper certificate. The results of the technical survey include:
- determination of new or clarification of previously established dangerous territories and marking their boundaries;
- confirmation (clarification) of the classification of the territory by danger status;
- preparation of reporting documentation for the results of TS, as well as the preparation of proposals for further planning and implementation of unlocking a dangerous territory through demining;
- provision of relevant information to local authorities and citizens who use (will use) the territory;
- proposals for improving the organization and procedure of technical survey.
The main principle of UDS during all stages of humanitarian demining is compliance with safety measures! Follow us also to find out what mines are and what to do if you come across a suspicious object. Be attentive and cautious! Glory to Ukraine!
