Tamar Group provides a unique hands-on Explosives Seminar
Tamar Group’s R&D Division and X-Test Division organized a specialized day-long seminar for representatives of security, law enforcement and intelligence agencies from around the world. The seminar covered a wide range of security concepts and theories and focused on demonstrations of live explosives and various explosive operating mechanisms. The seminar concluded at Tamar Group’s Explosives Range with a live demonstration of blasts caused by a suicide bomber vest, a bag and a VBIED (car bomb) using Improvised Explosive Devices (a.k.a IEDs) and Home-Made Explosives (a.k.a. HMEs). The hands-on aspects of this seminar allowed attendees to get a better understanding of what live explosives look like and what their impact is when used in various operations scenarios.
Tamar Group plans to offer additional such seminars throughout 2013. Please contact us at guy.zuri@x-test.com if you are interested in attending.

Tamar Group wins demolition contract for a 14-story building
Tamar Group’s Civil Division was awarded a contract to implode the Sun Hotel, an abandoned 14-story building located along Bat Yam’s coastline, roughly two kilometers south of Tel Aviv, Israel. On November 6, 2011, Tamar Group’s experts positioned explosives in strategic locations of the building, targeting its central pillars, which then caused the building to collapse within seconds. Tamar Group used a relatively small amount of explosives in order to generate a well-controlled blast. This is the largest scale demolition carried out in Israel to date.
Tamar Group executed the project with safety in mind, implementing a multi-layered safety approach. This included using two of Tamar Group’s helicopters circling the site, supported by two police boats patrolling the nearby coastline together with law enforcement units securing the surrounding area.
