Where there is potential risk of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO), explosive materials, Chemical Weapons Agent (CWA) or radioactive substances on site, BAE Systems Environmental, as part of Europe's largest defence Company, is recognised as an industry leader in this highly specialised field.
These risks can be a major constraint to the land regeneration process and pose a particular risk to construction activities such as intrusive investigations, groundworks and piling operations.
Together with our specialist laboratory capability in explosives and CWA analysis, we can provide clients with complete confidence in managing the highly emotive risks that surround defence related contamination.
Our quantitative desk study for German air-dropped UXO represents a significant innovation in the field of UXO risk assessment and provides consistent and logical findings for maximum cost benefit.
By combining high standards of explosives safety management with cutting edge geophysics, we have developed and tested a much safer, more accurate method of UXO detection than traditional search methods.
