NON-TECHNICAL SURVEY
AND SITE VERIFICATION

Insanyon's NTS Team are capable to conduct non-technical survey and assessment of tasked areas. It is likely that if an area is the subject of a Work Order for non- technical survey that there has already been a general assessment concluding that the area has a probability of containing hazardous devices. Non-technical survey is a critical phase of the overall clearance process as it is the first opportunity to limit sensibly the size of the overall area which will subsequently require physical intervention through technical survey or clearance operations. Non-technical survey activities shall include:

  • General assessment of the task area to assess conditions, plan of action, confirmation of hazards without physical intervention into the hazardous area;
  • Gather information to assess the presence of and possibly even the quantity and rough locations of EH. This could include civilian witness sources, military sources, landowners, local authorities, available maps indicating possible hazards, any;
  • Conduct liaison with key stakeholders including military and police;
  • Desk assessments;
  • Collection and assessment of historical data;
COMMUNITY LIAISON
AND RISK EDUCATION

Community Liaison brings excellent data rewards, and the local population are generally keen to share information in order to create safe spaces around their homes.

Insanyon is deploying a CLO who will be responsible for this task. The CLO will engage with local populous and whilst attaining useful information which will in combination inform the community of the EH program.

Risk Education in the emergency environment refers to efforts in an emergency to raise awareness of the threat from EH and to promote safe behavior among the largest number of civilians potentially at risk, particularly children, in the shortest possible time. In an emergency, for reasons of time, most of the communication will normally be one way instead of the normal exchange of information during a formal RE session / curriculum based RE. The aim is to reach the greatest number of at risk people in the shortest possible timeframe with information about the explosive threat and basic safety messages to encourage safe behavior.

The project team and the RE Officers will produce RE Materials suitable for the threats identified in the specific Area of Operations.
SEARCH, CLEARANCE AND IEDD/EOD IN
URBAN SPACE AND RESIDENTIAL AREAS

The Clearance Team are under the overall on site, daily command and control of the Team Leader HRS/EOD/IEDD search and clearance in the urban environment is expected to be exacting and slow The obstacles to clearance are more complicated when compared with clearance operations in the rural environment The Team will be required to conduct cleaance against a highly mixed array of explosive hazards with a potential for high densiy contamination IEDs will require extreme caution on approach and at all stages of the diposal operation Destroyed and partially destroyed buildings are already a risky operating environment Control of the safety cordon in areas where line of sight will usually be obstructed imposes yet more challenges to the conduct of safe operations

Clearance operations will be conducted in stages and will probably need various proceses which are repeatable until clearance to the required tolerance is achieved The primary activities will be manual search and clearance The first process that will be required is to divide the area by type, for example buildings and roads This will then require a risk assessment of each The main aim is to identify the process based on risk that will be applied The task area will alsoneed to be isolated to ensure the search can be conducted without the threat of command initiated devices
SEARCH, CLEARANCE
AND IEDD IN OPEN AREA

The Clearance Team are under the overall on site, daily command and control of the Team Leader HRS/EOD/IEDD search and clearance in the Open Area environment is expected to be quicker than Urban When encountering villages, farm complexes or other built assets in the rural environment the Team may employ the methodologies described in para above

Clearance operations will be conducted in stages and will probably need various proceses which are repeatable until clearance to the required tolerance is achieved The primary activities will be manual search and clearance, mechanically assisted removal of explsive hazards where possible

The first process that will be required is to divide the area by area This will then require a risk assessment of each area The main aim is to identify the process based on risk that will be applied
SURGE CAPACITY
MECHANICAL COMPONENT

The Mechanical capacity is a surge capacity at this time The system below is written to ensure that the mechanism for using mechanical is understood

The Clearance Team are assisted by mechanical assets whenever possible In urban spaces environments, and where suitable also in the rural environment, machines are used to remove rubble once each visible surface layer has been cleared by manual searchers Rubble or partially standing structures are removed by a combination of front end loaders and tracked excavators The choice of machine for scenarios encountered shall be on a case by case basis decided by Operations Manager, Team Leader and Mechanical Supervisor Based on a situational judgment call by Team Leaders, following the removal of layers of rubble, subsequent surface inspections by manual HRS/EOD/IEDD searchers will occur The next level of rubble will be removed The process are continueing until the ground surface has been reached and cleared all rubble removed

Removed rubble are transported in via front end loader bucket to nearby inspection areas pre prepared before the start of operations, situated close to the area being worked Once rubble are removed to an inspection area has received final HRS/EOD/IEDD clearance in the inspection area, cleared rubble are loaded onto a dumper truck and taken away for final disposal (it is assumed that final disposal solutions will be the decision of local m nicipal authorities and out with the contract Sow) Mechanical assets will be moved between worksites by flat bed low loader articulated trucks when the distance between worksites exceeds 10 km below 10 km the machines will self drive between work sites
LANDMINE RISK AWARENESS
AND VICTIM ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

The work of the mine victim assistance procedures in our organization to provide support to the victims of mines and remnants of war, in all medical, psychological and economic aspects These procedures also focus on supporting activities that would secure the rest ration of victims of their full legal rights and ensure their gradually reintegration into society

Providing support to mine victims and remnants of war is an essential component of mine action and takes place at three levels, starting with mine victims and their families, and then mine affected communities

Objectives of the humanitarian organization program to assist mine victims

  • Providing hospitalization service for them in emergency cases, taking care of amputations, and caring for the patient after undergoing the surgery, which is undertaken by the Ministries of Environment and Health and the Department of Mine Affairs to assist the victims

  • Securing prosthetic limbs and motor aids ( crutches) Helping the visually and hearing impaired

  • Rehabilitate them on the psychological level

  • Helping them to earn their livelihood and subjecting them to training that would enable them to practice a profession

  • Conducting an assessment survey about their needs and constantly updating the database of all mine victims

  • Demand to support the rights of mine victims and support the progress of their international convention Mine victim assistance measures aim to:

    • Supporting mine victims and remnants of war
    • Conducting a mine casualty survey and constantly updating its database Information is collected through the survey and fed into the IMSMA Information Management System to build an overall picture of mine casualties in Iraq
