Three part related branches
Xtrace operates three main branches, two in Norway and one globally.
Our primary focus is on leveraging dogs’ unique odour detection capabilities to locate landmines, ERW, and leftover explosives from road and tunnel demolitions.
In addition, design and distribute Beyond-X ski and mountain equipment and wear, typically catering to ski clubs and resort staff.
Occasionally, all three branches collaborate with clients on joint projects.
Xtrace’s dog teams have garnered a worldwide reputation for the safe and efficient release of land. Employing dogs in unique technical survey roles has resulted in significantly higher land release rates in comparison to conventional mine detection dogs.
We understand, however, that success hinges not just on the dogs, but also on the people involved. We employ top industry professionals and emphasise quality training and preparation for our staff before deployment.
We’re experts in training local staff as dog handlers, team leaders, and managers. Yet, training’s just a piece of the puzzle. Building lasting national capacity demands a systematic, long-term strategy.
It’s not just about training; it’s about establishing sustainable structures and leaving behind effective management. We offer multi-level training to ensure a robust and evolving national capacity.
Global – Mine Action

Norway is truly a beautiful country, boasting hundreds of spectacular fjords, mountains, and valleys.
The art of building roads has been perfected in Norway over hundreds of years. Nowadays, new and improved roads are often constructed atop older ones, where dynamite and other civil explosives were once used to crush and remove rocks.
This practice presents a risk of accidental explosions from remnants of past demolitions. Additionally, there’s a persistent risk of encountering unexploded ordnance (UXO) from World War II in many areas.
Xtrace has partnered with Nordic Sprengstoffhund (NSH) and expanded its focus to include the effective and safe use of dogs across Norway for surveying and clearing construction sites and tunnels of civil explosives.
