The characteristics of the area to be detected are of great importance in arriving at the best investigation method. Together with our clients, we always search for the most appropriate and safe method for each issue in the field of detection. Possible options are:
For example, for a detection on the busy Zwolsestraat in the municipality of The Hague. There was very little space available to carry out the necessary depth detection and the deployment of a regular pressure rig would lead to a lot of inconvenience. That is why we deployed our mini pressure rig here, so that traffic was impeded as little as possible during the detection work.
After careful interpretation of all detection data, we retain objects that may be an Explosive War Remnant. We approach these objects carefully, and if possible, we remove them immediately and secure them in a special unit. Sometimes an object cannot be moved, due to its complex location or the risk of explosion, detonation or deflagration.
The team, led by a Senior Expert-OOO then immediately takes necessary measures to keep the area safe. When explosive remnants of war have been found and identified, they are transferred to the EODD(Explosieven Opruimingsdienst Defensie). In the Netherlands, the EODD is responsible for clearing and destroying these objects.
The UXOscope provides the unique ability to combine horizontal directional drilling in suspect areas with detection of explosive remnants of war. This makes it possible to efficiently drill under buildings or rivers, busy roadways and near pipelines that are difficult to reach from the ground surface
