Services - UXO Down Hole

A UXO team conducts down-hole procedures in order to locate magnetic anomaly free areas for soil sample collection and well drilling. If a pre-selected area indicates magnetic anomalies, a new sampling/drilling site will be chosen, as close to the original site as possible.

The purpose of this service is to avoid encountering subsurface anomalies that could potentially be OE. UXO avoidance usually occurs at mixed hazard sites when HTRW investigations must occur prior to the conduct of an OE removal action.

The level of down hole support required will vary with the level of activities occurring on a site; multiple drilling/sampling crews will require multiple UXO Down-Hole Teams. A UXO Down-Hole Team usually consists of at least two personnel: a UXO Supervisor and a UXO Specialist.

OER's UXO personnel can provide UXO Down-Hole support using state of the art geophysical instrumentation.
