Desktop UXO Risk Assessment - Report Comparison
Our rep
orts are not automated database searches or computer generated pages, each report is produced by an experienced analyst who uses a range of sources. Our Preliminary UXO Risk Assessments offer an overview of UXO risk at your site and will take into account the site history, its current and intended use and the client’s scope of work. The output is a succinct and accurate assessment of UXO risk and recommendations to manage this risk.
The Detailed Risk Assessment, generally (but not always) follows on from the Preliminary, gives a much greater level of information about the history of the site and how the UXO risk may affect the planned works.
Effective and detailed analysis of a site can often allow the UXO risk to be zoned and the site segregated, thereby negating the need for time consuming and expensive survey procedures over the whole of a site.
For Preliminary and Detailed Risk Assessments sources include national and local record offices, aerial photography, historical maps, British Geological Survey (BGS) information and historic air raid records. Our analysts are able to piece together the most relevant information from across these sources to give an accurate and informed assessment of the risk at a site.
Fellows can also produce a Bespoke Risk Management Plan. This report is generally more suitable for large sites or for those that span multiple locations or projects of a considerable duration.
We also offer through life support across the complete project lifecycle for all activities that carry a UXO risk. This ensures that a UXO professional is always available to offer advice and assistance to the site or project management team based upon the best information available.

Basic Site Data (Name, Location & Boundaries)
Sets the context of the site in relation to potential sources of UXO and can provide the basis for identifying potential further sources of information.
Site Description
Sets the context of the site in relation to potential sources of UXO and can provide the basis for identifying potential further sources of information.
Site History/Historical Use
Sets the context of the site in relation to potential sources of UXO and can provide the basis for identifying potential further sources of information.
Post-War Development
The extent of any post-war development will identify significant effects that may have lead to the previous removal of UXO ie major post-war earthworks.
Site Specific UXO Data
Will provide positive confirmation on the presence and likely types of UXO at the site at some time in the past. Will be unlikely to provide confirmation of the absence of UXO at the present time. Will provide detailed summaries of the individual information sources and events considered as part of the evaluation process. This includes summaries of individual air raids, EOD call outs etc.
Non-Site specific UXO Data
Provides detailed information on non-site specific wartime events and incidents that may have led to an aerial bomb being present at the site. Will provide detailed summaries of the individual information sources and events considered as part of the evaluation process. This includes summaries of individual air raids, ordnance types, EOD call outs etc.
Aerial delivered UXO Assessment
Provides an estimate of the number of aerial delivered weapons likely to be present at a site.
Site Specific Geology
Will define the parameters to be used for the bomb penetration assessment.
Bomb Penetration Assessment
Based on the type of UXO present and known geological conditions.
Likelihood of Encounter Assessment (Zoned)
Provides an estimate of the areas of the site where an item of UXO may exist.
Assessment of Findings
The findings of the assessment process.
Recommendations (General)
Our recommendations to address the report findings
Recommendations (Detailed)
Our recommendations to address the report findings, tailored for the planned scope of work at the site, particularly for deep intrusive work i.e piling.
References
Provides traceability of information and basic level of QA/QC. Will identify source material for later phases of works (if required).
UXO Risk Mitigation Strategy / Site safety Plan
Using the information from the detailed risk assessment, our UXO experts can work with you to provide a proportionate, bespoke risk management strategy for your site.
