Operations
Explosive hazard contamination presents a huge barrier to stabilisation and reconstruction efforts in conflict-affected areas. It greatly impedes social, economic and humanitarian development, and prevents displaced communities from returning home. GCS brings a wealth of experience to leadership, project management, capacity building, training and high-risk explosive threat mitigation in conflict-ridden regions around the world.
Whether for humanitarian, governmental or commercial purposes, our qualified experts ensure that the mitigation of mines, Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) is conducted in a highly professional and safe manner, taking each client’s unique requirements into consideration. Our clients include governments, United Nations, NGOs, oil and gas, renewable energy sectors and construction companies.
