UXO & Historical Risk Investigations

Before excavation, piling, dredging or subsea works begin, it is essential to know whether explosive hazards may be present.

Our preliminary UXO investigations include:

• Analysis of bombing, combat and other military data
• Archival research (national and international archives)
• Aerial imagery interpretation
• Geospatial risk mapping
• Analysis of post-war clearance activities and developments

The result is a structured and clearly documented risk analysis report that provides decision-makers with clarity on:

• Probability of UXO presence
• Types of possible UXO
• The horizontal and vertical extent of the UXO contamination
• Recommendation of the next steps in the UXO clearance
