Swiss company Global Clearance Solutions has opened a technical service center in Ukraine, reported by GCS.

The center will be able to receive demining platforms and carry out repairs as needed.

The head of the company's technical service department, Fabian Klauser, emphasized the readiness to ensure sustainable and optimal use of international investments in demining both currently and in the future.

"Our workshop is able to accommodate several GCS-200 machines, which are ideally suited to eliminating explosive threats for agricultural land and ensuring infrastructure such as electricity pylons can be repaired and essential power restored to civilians. There is also space for the smaller GCS-100," he said.

He also added that this would provide opportunities for repairing infrastructure such as power transmission towers and restoring power supply for the civilian population.

GCS Technical Support Team Lead Florian Loeffler is also excited to welcome the facility and the continued partnership with SESU, Nibulon and other Ukrainian organisations to meet the challenge of eliminating explosive threats and creating safe environments for all:

“Our workshop is an essential element of our end-to-end involvement with clients and international donors. Machines that are working are saving lives, day in, day out.”
