Manual Demining
Manual demining is the most precise and controlled method of mine clearance, relying on highly trained personnel who use specialized tools and protective equipment to locate and neutralize landmines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) by hand. This technique ensures maximum safety and accuracy in complex terrains where mechanical or animal-assisted clearance is not feasible.
Each deminer follows strict international standards and safety protocols, advancing systematically across contaminated areas with metal detectors, prodding tools, and marking systems to identify and safely remove explosive hazards. Manual demining operations often play a critical role in humanitarian missions, enabling safe land recovery for agriculture, infrastructure development, and the return of displaced communities.
Through meticulous inspection and step-by-step clearance, manual demining remains the cornerstone of mine action efforts, combining human expertise, patience, and discipline to restore safety and stability to post-conflict regions.
