1st Line Defence - Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Recovery & Disposal
From1st Line Defence
We employ highly experienced project management and UXO/EOD specialist teams to conduct recovery, disposal and clearance operations.
Explosive techniques including high and low order methods have been developed over many years to make sure that we have the capability to dispose of UXO safely, and to minimise risk to the environment.
Techniques may include the recovery, storage and final disposal of UXO, and if located offshore it may be recovered to land for transportation and disposal.
Disposal in-situ – the use of explosive means to destroy UXO on land or the seabed – for offshore projects this operation might be completed by high or low explosive methods, and is dependent on the environment and any other constraints that might be present.
In all cases; planning, safety and environmental mitigation are the corner stone of every 1st Line Defence recovery, disposal and clearance operation.
