Waterjet cutting technology is ideal for the safe neutralization of explosive devices. Using an ultra-high-pressure water jet, this method disables explosive mechanisms without causing detonation, significantly reducing risks for operators and the environment.
Applications in Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD)
Abrasive waterjet cutting
For metallic components and reinforced structures within explosive devices, abrasive waterjet cutting is the optimal solution. This process combines high-pressure water with abrasive particles to cut through hard materials such as metals, composites, and concrete. It enables EOD teams to penetrate armoured casings and access internal mechanisms without triggering detonation.
Advantages of Waterjet Cutting Technology for Explosive Neutralization
- Maximum safety: Waterjet cutting generates no heat, thereby reducing the risk of unintentionally activating explosives.
- Mobility: Waterjet technology can be integrated into mobile cutting systems that are easy to deploy on-site. This allows for remote, safe cutting operations without the need to move the hazardous object.
Waterjet cutting provides precise and reliable solutions for disarming dangerous devices without the risk of explosion. Thanks to its cutting capabilities, this technology ensures safe and effective interventions, protecting both disposal teams and the environment.
