Stage 1 – is to check if there is history of bombing or military activity on your project site location by completing a Preliminary UXO Risk Assessment as an initial screening check.
Stage 2 – if any potential risk or need for further research is identified during the Preliminary Assessment, we recommend a Detailed UXO Risk Assessment is commissioned, which is a comprehensive and in-depth desktop study report which fully examines the history of a project site location.
Follow the link to view or download the UXO Risk Mitigation Strategy we conform to, which highlights the different stages that need to be considered in a user-friendly flow chart – in accordance with CIRIA C681 Guidelines.
Starting with our Preliminary UXO Risk Assessment, these can be produced in just 1-2 working days – for only £150.
Preliminary UXO desk study reports offer a very fast, cost-effective way to establish whether further research is required, or whether the risk can be negated at an early stage.
Useful info: 50% of the projects we investigate return a result of ‘no further action needed’, removing the need for further UXO Risk Mitigation Support.
