Explosives Engineering Consultancy

Members of the Alford team advising clients

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 (founded in 1985) and our own test ranges at Broadmead and Emborough.

What we advise on

1. Risk assessment and management

We identify hazards and develop management plans to protect personnel, property, and the environment.

2. Project planning and execution

We plan and deliver work from concept through to implementation.

3. Training and education

Tailored training programmes covering:

EOD and IEDD | HMA IEDD | WTI | Breaching | Explosive demolitions |HME

4. Research and development

We work with clients on new explosive techniques and technologies. See our R&D services.

Why clients choose Alford

Operational experience. Advice comes from people who have done the work, not only studied it.

Built around the task. Solutions are tailored to your threat, site and constraints, not a fixed package.

Risk designed out, not managed around. Where the task allows, we remove people from the hazard: remote placement, standoff, and designs that avoid pre-weakening.

Proven on our own ranges. We test and trial at Broadmead and Emborough before we advise on your project.
