What Explomo Technical Services does

Explomo Technical Services is a Singapore-headquartered professional services firm founded in 1988 that specializes in the survey, remediation, and disposal of Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) and Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) on land and in offshore environments. The company serves both government agencies and private sector clients across Southeast Asia and the Middle East — geographies with residual contamination from past military conflict and munitions disposal — and delivers an integrated portfolio spanning non-intrusive Explosive Ordnance Survey, underwater survey (riverbanks, lake bottoms, seabed), remote survey for mine- and booby-trap-threatened areas, threat assessment and advisory services, hazardous material disposal, and offshore remediation. All survey operations are conducted in accordance with International Mine Action Standards (IMAS), and the firm maintains personnel qualified to escort other agencies and advise on existing threats.

The underlying technology is centered on non-intrusive detection methods that produce precise anomaly maps identifying potential explosive ordnance without excavation, applicable to both terrestrial and aquatic environments. The firm's differentiators — explicitly positioned by the company — are three decades of specialized ERW/UXO experience (versus general contractors), comprehensive land and offshore capabilities under one roof, IMAS-compliant operations, and combined expertise in explosive ordnance survey and hazardous material disposal.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue, acquired through direct engagement with government and private sector clients rather than through marketing channels or intermediaries. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is presumably quote-based given the specialized, project-specific nature of UXO remediation. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, institutional investors, or venture backing, and operates with a sales-led go-to-motion centered on reputation and domain credibility in post-conflict geographies.
