The Advantages ofInvasive Technology

Sampling and Disposal of HazardousSealed Vessels and Systems

MMIC EOD has built its reputation in thefield of invasive technologies for theinvestigation and disposal of CB devices.Disposal of these devices presents twodistinct challenges;

• What is inside them• How to dispose of them without

contaminating the surrounding areaThere are many non-invasive techniqueson the market but most are ineffective athandling sealed containers. Those that can“see” inside can be easily fooled. Completecertainty is only achieved by the analysisof a physical sample from inside thedevice. The problem is how to do thatwithout allowing the contents tocontaminate the adjoining environment.

Additionally, non-invasive techniques donot assist when tackling the second issue.Where a device cannot be moved it mustbe disposed of in-situ. Near sensitive

targets blowing in place (BIP) is not anoption as it will simply do the terrorists jobfor them. In these circumstances invasivetechnology provides a vital capability.

Not only can it penetrate any devicewithout releasing the contents but itallows operators to sample, drain,neutralize and investigate devices throughone hole with no risk to the surroundingarea. All this can be done minutes afterarrival on-site. In addition, preservation ofthe device allows for excellent evidentialcollection to assist criminal investigationsand prosecutions.

CBRN and EODProducts

MMIC EOD has a wide range of specialistEOD and CBRN equipment. Our rangeincludes;

CBR EOD –Investigation and

Disposal Equipment• In-situ sampling & disposal of CB

munitions and IEDs• Any agent, target, size, shape

or material• Fast, safe investigation and disposal

MMIC EOD lead the way in developingequipment which can invasivelyinterrogate and dispose of a wide range ofmunitions and other vessels. This rangesfrom our flagship Monica system forCBEOD operations to the hand held Midassystem for rapid sampling of sealedcontainers.

CBRN Disposal and Containment Systems• Portable equipment for draining and

decontamination of CB devices

Our MATS equipment offers a uniquecapability for the draining anddecontamination of munitions in-situ.Additionally we have a range of portablecontainment systems for thetransportation of hazardous materials.

EOD Equipment• Innovative Solutions to EOD

Challenges

At MMIC EOD we pride ourselves onlooking at conventional EOD problemsslightly differently. From our unique MATETrepanning system, which cuts disposaltimes in half, to our Matilda Fuze Removalsystem we have a range of equipmentwhich significantly assists EOD operations.

SupportWe know that our clients will use ourequipment in harsh environments. Oursupport is more than a free phone number.Firstly, all our kit can be maintained by theoperator in the field, saving time and cost.Secondly, our kit comes with spares asstandard items to minimise downtime.Additionally, our teams will deploy intheatre to assist with maintenance ifnecessary.

By allowing moisture vaporfrom sweat to escape through the fabric,suits made with GORE® chemical splashfabric help to manage heat stress whileoffering exceptional protection. Unliketraditional vinyl or rubber suits that are hot,heavy, and cumbersome, the Sawyer-Towersuits can typically be worn through an entireshift without excessive overheating.

Many industrial operations require chemicalsplash protection.
