Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Mitigation & De-Mining

Constellis, through its subsidiary The Development Initiative (TDI), delivers specialized unexploded ordnance (UXO) mitigation and de-mining services to reduce explosive threats in post-conflict environments. Our teams restore land to safe, usable condition—supporting community recovery, infrastructure development, and long-term stability for governments, NGOs, and international partners.

Clearing the Way for Safer Communities

Constellis provides trusted, internationally certified de-mining services to protect lives and return land to productive use. With deep expertise through TDI, we operate in some of the world’s most contaminated and remote areas—removing landmines, UXO, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) using proven, field-tested methods.
We help clients restore access to agriculture, housing, education, and critical infrastructure—safely and sustainably. Our goal is simple: eliminate risk, empower recovery, and support safe futures.

Complete Mine Action Solutions

We deploy multidisciplinary teams trained and equipped to handle all forms of explosive hazards. Our operations align with International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) and national regulations wherever we work.

Our services include:

  • Non-technical and technical survey
  • Manual and mechanical de-mining
  • Battle Area Clearance (BAC)
  • Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD)
  • Route verification and clearance
  • Quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC)

Constellis also supports integrated mine risk education to enhance community safety and awareness alongside clearance operations.

Field-Tested, Globally Recognized Approach

Each mission begins with a collaborative site and threat assessment, working closely with local authorities, mine action centers, and community leaders. Our teams then deploy to conduct survey, clearance, and disposal operations—following strict IMAS protocols and client-specific safety guidelines.

All tasks undergo independent QA/QC review before land is released back to stakeholders. We also invest in local capacity building, training national staff to ensure long-term safety and resilience.
