SafeLane - Intrusive Surveys Consultancy Services
On construction sites where a desktop or non-intrusive survey has identified a risk of deep buried unexploded bombs (UXBs), and where piled foundations are planned, intrusive surveys can enable clearance ahead of piling and boreholes. An intrusive survey also enables exploration at depths not achievable by non-intrusive methods, and on land unsuitable for non-intrusive methods such as surface ferro-contaminated ground.
SafeLane Global clients may utilise an intrusive survey to clear borehole locations, individual pile locations or pile groups, or for complete site area clearance. SafeLane Global’s bespoke detection system and software has been developed to rapidly and accurately detect and locate buried ferrous objects which could potentially be a UXB, to the maximum assessed bomb penetration depth on any given site.
SafeLane Global’s unique system has the following features:
Flexible application:it can be introduced into the ground from a wide variety of platforms and methods – using hydraulically inserted probes or using staged drilling method (geotechnical drilling) in difficult ground conditions.
Rapid and cost-effective data capture:the system employs a specially developed sensor and software, which is configured to survey a column of ground as it is vertically introduced. The system quickly and effectively records the vertical depth of a magnetic anomaly, its horizontal distance from the probe and its theoretical modelled mass.
Effective data interpretation:SafeLane Global’s proprietary bespoke software is specifically configured for deep UXB detection. Whilst real time unexploded ordnance (UXO) clearance can be provided on site, all data indicating a possible target is reviewed at SafeLane Global’s offices by in-house dedicated geophysicist teams for detailed target interrogation and analysis.
If there is a requirement for both geotechnical survey information as well as UXB clearance, SafeLane Global deploys its combined magnetometer and cone penetration test, using a cone penetrometer to provide two data sets as a single operation.
Cone penetration testing:this determines sub-surface stratigraphy and characterises the materials present (potential UXO threat); it provides geotechnical parameters and data for direct geotechnical engineering and design.
