UXO Risk Management

Our UXO Risk Management Services

At Artios Global, we provide a comprehensive selection of UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) risk management services.

Our solutions have been developed to align with the specific phases of the UXO risk management process, offering tailored solutions that range from initial site assessments and risk evaluations to the planning and execution of mitigation measures.

With a commitment to precision and professionalism, Artios empowers clients across a range of industries to navigate complex UXO challenges with confidence.

Preliminary Risk Assessments

Our (Stage 1) Preliminary Risk Assessments are a crucial first step in identifying and evaluating potential UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) hazards on a site. This process involves gathering historical data, analysing site conditions and assessing the likelihood of UXO presence to guide further mitigation measures.

The purpose of this preliminary assessment is to provide an overview of the potential risks associated with the site. It establishes a foundation for determining whether further, more detailed investigations or risk mitigation measures are necessary.

Detailed Risk Assessments

For sites identified at Stage 1 to be at a higher risk of UXO encounter,  and requiring a more comprehensive evaluation, our Detailed Risk Assessments provide an in-depth and thorough analysis of UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) hazards, ensuring safety and peace of mind.

We utilise advanced methodology and technological solutions to deliver precise, reliable and actionable insights tailored to the unique requirements of your project. This structured and methodical approach is in line with Stage 2 of CIRIA C681 and ensures that all risks are accurately quantified and managed, enabling informed decision making and effective hazard mitigation.

Key components of the assessment include:

  • Site history (including, if any, effects of enemy action during WWI and WWII),

  • Bombing Records,

  • Effect and threat of German air delivered weapons,

  • UK Military land use – present day & wartime/historical,

  • Post war development on site and land use,

  • The threat of holistic unexploded ordnance including the types that could be encountered, the probabilities of encountering them, the potential activation mechanisms and the risk of detonation,

  • Effect and threat of British ordnance and circumstances it was deployed in 

  • Soil conditions & depth that ordnance is likely to have penetrated.

Risk Mitigation Plan

Following Stage 1 & Stage 2 of the UXO Risk Management process laid out in CIRIA C681 for compliance risk rating of your site, our Risk Mitigation Plans align with Stage 3 and feature carefully structured recommendations which, when implemented, support long term project success, ensuring the management of risk to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP).  

Additionally, we ensure full compliance with safety standards, regulatory frameworks and project timelines, providing a comprehensive approach that delivers optimal safety without compromising project efficiency or effectiveness.

Each Risk Mitigation Plan is customised to address the specific needs, complexities and objectives of the project, ensuring precise results.
