On 16 and 17 September, Gouda UXO-Equipment attended Bohrtechniktage 2026 in Bad Zwischenahn, Germany. Our Sales Director, Bas Lamers, visited the event as a guest of Thade Gerdes GmbH.

The event brought together professionals from across the drilling and ground investigation industries to exchange knowledge, share practical experience and discuss technical developments.

Sharing knowledge on UXO detection

An interesting part of the programme was a technical presentation by Dr.-Ing. Hauke Anbergen from Thade Gerdes, addressing the challenges of UXO detection in practice.

The presence of unexploded ordnance remains an important consideration in ground investigation and construction projects. Reliable detection methods, suitable equipment and thorough preparation help specialists identify potential risks before intrusive operations begin.

For Gouda UXO-Equipment, events like Bohrtechniktage provide valuable opportunities to exchange knowledge with industry specialists and better understand the challenges they face in the field.

Beyond the technical programme, the event offered a welcome opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, establish new relationships and exchange ideas about equipment performance and operational requirements.

We thank Thade Gerdes GmbH for their hospitality and everyone who contributed to the valuable discussions during the event.
