No, certainly not. There is simply not enough time in the game for such operations. Plus they don't carry an infinite amount of supply in their rucksacks either. All time limits for engineering operations tend to include a number of supply trucks loaded with the devices, as well as the actual men to lay them, per X metres of mines laid per time frame (which is usually expressed in
hours).
A "mine" in SP is not 1 round metal thing filled with TNT, it represents a minimum density to be effective in a 50 metre (half a football field sized) hex. Say 50x50 = 250 sq m, divided by a density of 1 mine per 8 sq m = 30 mines. Factor in the time to survey and mark out the lanes, time to dig 30 holes, lay 30 mines, cover 30 mines. Engineer vehicle with shovels, tapes to mark lanes. Engineer truck with 30 mines (at 4-5 kg each, those do not live in rucksacks!). Try going into your garden, and burying 30 flowerpots in 3 lines of 50 metres, and you would be part-way there, less the fusing and safe handling of explosive devices bit.
Demolitions are more complex things, and so are also pre-game deployment items.
