Company Description
MAGNITOMETRIKI is an explosives experts company speciialised in exploring suspect areas both on land and underwater and clearing them up through the removal of unexploded ordnance, mines and any other dangerous remains. Established in 2008 in Maroussi, a northern suburb of the Major Athens complex, by Lt-Col (ret., Hellenic Army) G. Mourelatos, our company collaborates on the basis of outsourcing contracts with a host of external associates - all of them retired officers of the Hellenic Army having achieved the rank of Master Ordnance Engineer or, in the case of underwater operations, with trusted Underwater Demolition Teams ex-NCOs (ret, Hellenic Navy). We treasure the tight bonds developed between the various members of our group of associates and we believe that the homogeneity of their background is an unparalleled asset in these operations; obviously, beyond the common techniques, they have developed a unique “code” of communication.
Through the equipment we possess, we have located and destroyed various types of ordnance of mixed manufacture: mortar shells of 81 mm and 2 and 4 inches, English missiles of 25 pounds, German missiles of 120 mm, missiles of 155 mm, A/T rockets of 3.5 inches, hand grenades of various types, missiles of 75 mm, German bombs of 500 and 1000 pounds and A/P mines (mostly of older types). Again, this ordnance was 80% explosive and 20% white phosphorus.
We have worked with various construction companies, such as GEK-TERNA (in areas of Sterea Hellas and Thessaly), PRISMA (in Marathon, Schinias and Lavrion, all of them in Attica), ELLACTOR (in areas of the Peloponnese and Epirus during the Egnatia Highway construction project) and DEPA-DESFA (in areas of Epirus in the construction of the Greek-Italian natural gas pipeline) and with various private individuals (mostly building constructors).
MAGNITOMETRIKI‘s latest success is that we have won (June '10) a bid submitted to D.E.S.F.A. (the public company that coordinates the provision of natural gas in Greece) for the inspection of an underwater 14.1-kilometer corridor in the South Evoikos Gulf where a high-pressure natural gas pipe line will be installed; in cooperation with our trusted associates, the retired NCOs of the Underwater Demolition Teams, HN. The project itself is scheduled to be completed in early July and will comprise at the current first phase the scanning through sonar of the corridor, its full-mapping and the spotting of any unexploded ordnance, forgotten sea mine. Though small in scope, this project demonstrates clearly that our Company is trusted by serious partners (D.E.S.F.A. is currently the largest private company of social service provision) to undertake projects where attention to the smallest detail is paramount and where the combination of Army and Naval expertise is required.
Our Company is registered in the Hellenic Tax Service with the code of activity denoting the specialization of explosives handling and destruction and it has also been registered since 2009 with the Global Mine Action Registry with the specialization of “Clearance and Detection”– the only purely Greek that deals in this fieid.
Currently, MAGNITOMETRIKI has been aiming at “going international” through its belief that we can meet this challenge and we have submitted proposals of cooperation with various countries, mostly of the MENA region, known to face problems minefields and/or scattered ammunition. As such, our website is going to e updated and translated in English, becoming thus bilingual (scheduled for mid July), with the aim of later becoming tri-lingual with the addition of French.
As we mention everywhere and proudly, the safety factor is our foremost concern and, consequently, up to this moment we have never encountered any special problem while providing our services, due to the highest level of technical expertise of our staff.
