BACTEC INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

BACTEC International Limited was formed in 1991 in response to the perceived capability gap for the clearance of explosive ordnance from ranges, former military training areas, mines/minefields and conflict/post-conflict situations.

BACTEC's services cover a wide range of subjects from mines awareness, mines survey (Levels 1, 2 and 3), training of mine clearers, beach survey and clearance to threat assessment, non intrusive and intrusive survey and investigation/clearance in support of the construction industry.

Additionally BACTEC provides training for both ex-pat and local personnel and carries out equipment evaluation, design and development.

Explosive ordnance survey and clearance are carried out both on land and underwater by fully qualified and experienced staff.

The company is registered to ISO 9001 by LRQA.
