Explosives Engineering Services

Alford Explosive Demolition offers a service that integrates in-house structural engineering, proprietary charges, and remotely operated vehicles for charge placement. The company designs and tests its demolition charges at its ranges and serves clients in the UK and internationally.

Alford Technologies conducts contract R&D in explosive tools and techniques for defence ministries, prime contractors, and specialist operators. The in-house Tech Team holds a portfolio of patented technologies and operates two private test ranges, where it trials new products and concepts under real-world conditions before bringing them to market or delivering them to clients.

Alford Technologies supports its products from concept to field. The Tech Team handles design and manufacture, documentation, demonstrations and training, and fault reporting. It works with Marketing, Sales, and Training, and with a global distributor network that provides local after-sales support.

Live ranges at Broadmead (dry) and Emborough (wet and dry) for training, R&D, filming and product testing.

Alford Technologies provides explosives engineering consultancy to military, government and commercial clients. We cover risk assessment, project planning and execution, and training. Advice comes from a team with operational experience, backed by Dr Sidney Alford’s engineering legacy and our own test ranges.

Alford’s engineering team now takes on external projects. The same engineers who design, build and prove our own explosive tools are available for client work: concept and design, mechanical and product engineering, and live testing and trials at our licensed UK ranges. If your project involves explosive effects, energetic materials handling, or hardware that is robust enough to survive them, we can take it from drawing board to deployment under one roof.
