Protection against unexploded ordnances and ammunition remnants in remediation

Bern (BE) — The remediation and restoration of old firing ranges which are contaminated with unexploded ordnances and ammunition remnants are important measures in protecting the environment and persons. The construction machinery used and its operating staff play an important role here. Vibrations and shocks can cause explosions. The test centre supports risk minimisation with its expertise in the protection sector.

A test blast with a 15.5 cm artillery shell is prepared.
