Top mine clearance company Damasec is using Trimble Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to execute the safe removal of nearly 500 unexploded mines in Denmark. The Danish Ministry of Transport and the Danish Coastal Authority selected Damasec, and civil contractor J Jensen, to clear the country's remaining mine fields left from World War II. The Skallingen mines were laid by the German occupation force in 1944 as part of the Atlantic Wall. Damasec and J Jensen selected Trimble technology for a complete system that provides accurate location data and the ability to complete real-time field calculations. In addition, the team was looking for a solution that provided project workflow software for seamless data transfer between the field and the office. The 30 tonne excavators and dozers used on the Skallingen project are equipped with 3D Trimble GCS900 Grade Control Systems.
