PLANIT has developed a rigorous unexploded ordnance (UXO) risk assessment process for identifying the true risks presented by UXO contamination. It has been developed in response to the construction industry’s demands for more transparency when considering the issue of ordnance contamination. A UXO risk assessment (part of the UXO desk study) is key in identifying whether or not further UXO work is required on a site and for the design of UXO Risk Mitigation solutions.

Building on practical experience in dealing with UXO, PLANIT uses the traditional source-pathway-receptor model for assessing land contamination and presents the identified risk openly, allowing our Clients to view the justification for a particular UXO risk level being assigned.

So, if we identify a particular UXO risk on your site you will know how we arrived at the result, what the implications are for your development and what, if anything, needs to be done to mitigate against it.

PLANIT has built a reputation for being able to respond with flexible, cost effective mitigation solutions to deliver a safe environment within which Client’s can operate with confidence. Our ability to approach the market for the provision of “heavy” intrusive UXO survey support allows us to pass the cost benefits onto our Clients and ensure that the most appropriate technology is used on a particular site.

We will not use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
