    Research for explosives in loon

   
     During works of cleaning in a loon underneath the Betuwelijn in Zevenaar, a contractor bounced on a small calibre ammunition and hand/gungranates of German cut. This ammunition is identified and made harmless by the Explosives Cleaning Service of the Royal Army (NL). After this, the work was stopped.

     In Januari 2006, in cooperation with T&A Survey BV was the loon further examined for the presence on remaining ammunition

Using a special underwater ammunition separation technique, who was never used in Holland before. The technique allows to separate slib and ammunition from eac hother at the same time. The controversial Explosives (CE) are ‘in situ’ removed from the layer of slib.

     The ammunition was identified and put in safety in awaiting the destruction by the Explosives Cleaning Service of the Dutch ministry of Defence (EODDEF). The loon was ‘free from explosives’ delivered tot the contractor.
