MEASURE YOUR UNEXPLODED BOMB RISKADVANCED SENSOR TECHNOLOGY THAT GETS DOWN TO ACTIONTAKE COMFORT FROM OUR WWII BOMBING MAPSA large part of Zetica’s business is taking care of the threat from unexploded bombs (UXB) so clients don’t have to worry about the risk.One simple way we can help is by sharing our knowledge of bombing distribution – so we’ve published the maps you see here AND we are offering to provide you with a bombing map for the area of your choice from our database on request. Please read on.Thankfully many rural areas are at low risk, though UXBs turn up in the most unexpected places The main area of concern is that manythousands of bombs fell on major cities in the UK during World War II. The estimated 10% of bombs that did not explode or were notrendered safe poses a real danger to construction workers, property and third parties. Published figures indicate that hundreds of UXBs may remain active around the country…but there’s no need to panic The risk of an explosion is very small if the right measures are taken.For more details on this and related services, telephone:+44 (0) 1993 706767 or visit our website:www.zetica.com>Bomb hits per 1000 acres>WWII bombing mapRegistered abandoned UXBWartime UXBBomb impactStrategic targeti.e. , factory, military building, communicationsBomb damageHighMediumLowZetica provides expert services for UXB detection andclearance. A vital part of Zetica’s Sitesafe service is theMAGCONE probing system.This accurately detects large air-dropped UXB to their depth of rest, which is typically up to 15m below surface, depending on soil conditions. Contact us if you need this depth to be calculated for a specific site.During MAGCONE probing a magnetometer tool, housed in aspecially toughened alloy casing, is driven into the ground usingpowerful, truck-mounted hydraulics.This complements surfacegeophysical detection methods, allowing UXB and other metalhazards to be identified prior to piling.BE PREPAREDIt makes sense to have access to UXB location information so that appropriatelevels of precaution can be put in place.Without these you could experienceextended disruption such as road closures and emergency evacuation ofpersonnel and residents. Such incidents occur about once a month and are mostfrequent in cities shown as high risk in our map of bomb risk in Britain.Zetica is in the unique position of owning a comprehensive database that detailsthe density and spread of bombs dropped during 1939–1945 throughout the UK.This database can verify the likelihood of unexploded ordnance in all localitiesand Zetica invites you to test it.
