Many site managers assume a UXO Watching Brief is just a specialist sitting in a van waiting for something to happen. In reality, a professional Watching Brief is an active, vital part of site safety and efficiency.

At UXOS, our specialists don’t just watch; they provide real-time risk mitigation. By monitoring every bucket of soil during intrusive groundworks, we ensure that:

• Delays are Minimized: We quickly identify harmless scrap metal vs. potential ordnance, preventing unnecessary site shutdowns.

• Operative Safety: We act as a specialized banksman, working alongside machine operators to ensure excavations follow safe, controlled paths.

• Immediate Response: If a suspect item is encountered, we implement emergency procedures instantly—protecting your team and your timeline.

“A Watching Brief is your first line of defense against the unexpected, keeping your project moving while staying fully compliant.”
