摘要

A method for removing explosive devices from an area of land is taught. T he method includes: treating an area of land with a plough to create a ploughed land area with an exposed ground surface and a ground surface on which a berm, containing soil and explosive devices, is deposited by the plough, processin g the berm to substantially remove the explosive devices from the soil and applyin g pressure to the ground surface of the ploughed land area, the pressure selected to detonate at least some explosive devices in the ploughed land area, and generally exceeding the highest known trigger pressure of the explosive devices at a depth of about 0.5 metres.
