An overview of what is required in a typical EOD bomb risk mitigation strategy

A technical analysis of likely unexploded ordinance will be needed

. The suggested program of mitigation would include both intrusive and non-intrusive surveys. A non-intrusive survey is the quickest method and also saves time and money. This method of survey will typically be determined by not only the size of the ordinance, but the type of ground. For instance, the land being contaminated with ferrous materials. This would limit the effectiveness of the non-intrusive survey. If the site-specific desktop study, determines that an intrusive survey is required, the next step would be to procure the necessary equipment.

The actual resources needed would be determined through an on-site assessment. If an intrusive survey does turn out to be required, then not only is the instrumentation necessary, but it must also be flexible. In special circumstances, it should also possess the capability of being lowered by hand through a series of pre-drilling and lining holes. It should also have the capability for quick and cost-effective data capture. If the client has a requirement for both geotechnical, as well as deep buried ordinance, then the instrumentation used should give these two data sets in a single operation, which saves both time and money. Once the survey has been completed, intrusive or non-intrusive, the data will then need to be processed and analyzed. The EOD team will then need to expose and positively identify the suspected objects. This will be required in order to make a positive identification. This should include target analysis, determined by depth and nature of suspected objects and environment. It will also include ground conditions such as, opencast excavations as well as vertical and horizontal shafts and temporary works.

If the suspected objects are confirmed as explosive ordinance, the on-site manager will complete the threat assessment. The objects will then be classified and disposed of by the appropriate method. The disposal of the objects will be conducted by the EOD Company or under the auspices of local authorities as required. A clearance certificate should then be issued detailing the results of the survey, along with clearance and disposal activity.
