NEW GICHD PUBLICATIONThe Mechanical Demining Equipment Catalogue 2010 provides the humanitarian mine action community with a comprehensive overview of the equipment available at the moment on the market. All assets used for humanitarian demining must have proven reliability and the decision about which assets to employ is a key element in planning demining operations. A balanced use of mechanical and manual assets leads to cost-effective demining and to the safe return of cleared land to communities. This publication is designed to help those who purchase mechanical demining equipment to make the right decisions. All of our publications are available free of charge from the Publications section of this website. For further information on this catalogue and its contents please contact f.abel(at)gichd.org.
