The international expert in landmines clearance Dr. Zauba Alrawi talked about the features of the TJET500 technology to demolish landmines by saying: “This method is generally free of quakes or sounds, except in some cases where an explosion may occur during the burning operation, but this happens in only about 5 % of the cases, and this is an acceptable percentage. We always try to make it less, by the right usage of incineration and demolition”.
And regarding the adoption of this technology to demolish landmines safely, Dr Zauba said: “We use the TJET500 method in demolishing bombs and landmines, when there are difficulties in the possibility of destroying the landmines and ordnance by the traditional method, and especially when they are in urban areas, or farms, or high impact places, and it is difficult to move the unexploded ordnance from the place where they are found, and anyway, following the principles of Masam, we care a lot about the public safety, and the job safety before we destroy or demolish the landmines. That is why we take all necessary precautions to secure the safety of workers, the people around them, and the safety of the infrastructure, the surrounding buildings, trees or any other facilities, because an explosion may occur during the ignition of the explosives that we want to destroy”.
Dr. Zauba Alrawi praised the safe method to demolish landmines adopted by Masam by saying: “The TJET500 method is a safe and advanced method. It was used for the first time in Yemen by project Masam. It was used by the project in the past at limited levels, but now we are using it widely, in every place where we cannot control the clearance of pollutants, or it is very difficult to destroy or demolish ordnance through traditional methods, then we use instantly the TJET500 method. This safe and eco-friendly technique was used widely by Masam’s teams, under the supervision of international experts in this project, who are well versed in this technique, and have a great expertise in this field”.
