Following a UXO risk assessment, a UXO Watching Brief may be recommended where on-site monitoring by an experienced UXO specialist provides an appropriate mitigation measure.
UXOS provides specialist UXO watching brief services across the UK,with experienced EOD engineers supporting excavation, trenching, trial pits, piling and other intrusive groundworks.
Monitoring during bulk excavation, service trenches, drainage works and reduced-level digging.
Specialist support during trial pitting, window sampling, borehole drilling and other ground investigations.
EOD oversight during piling, foundation excavations and other deep ground-penetrating activities.
Sites affected by wartime bombing, former military use, historic defence activity or previous ordnance discoveries.
A UXO survey can require mobilisation, data collection, processing and, where anomalies are identified, subsequent target investigation before excavation can proceed. Where the assessed risk and proposed works allow, a UXO Watching Brief can enable excavation to commence with specialist EOD supervision in place — helping get spades in the ground sooner while maintaining appropriate UXO risk controls
