Complete UXO Identification & ALARP Provision
From February 2023 through to January 2024, EODEX were contracted directly by a major US utility company to carry out UXO investigation and identification on an Eastern seaboard offshore wind project
What Was Involved
In order to carry out the work in such a tight timescale, we chartered 2 DPII vessels from a supplier based in the Gulf of Mexico, complimented with WROV and survey positioning systems.
EODEX investigated over 1000 targets across the site, locating and identifying hundreds of confirmed UXO. These were a combination of airdropped bombs, torpedoes, naval projectiles, buoyant mines, training mines and small-arms armaments. These were due to be relocated during 2024.
Summary
On completion of target investigation operations, we continued to work closely with the developer to preserve their construction project timeline by analysing which debris can be left in-situ, and which debris had to be relocated.
ALARP certification was issued by EODEX on completion of the target investigation and identification.
