UXO Risk Assessment

A UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) Risk Assessment plays a crucial role in ensuring safety and operational integrity, particularly when post-war activities may have reshaped the landscape or altered the potential threat of unexploded ordnance in the Area of Interest. NjordIC USA approaches this assessment with a focus on not only identifying whether such activities have introduced new risks but also re-evaluating existing assumptions about UXO presence and distribution. This assessment goes beyond surface-level evaluations, requiring a deep dive into the site's historical, environmental, and technical context.

One of the key aspects of our process is determining the optimal search depth, based on a thorough understanding of local soil conditions, past use, and UXO characteristics. By analyzing this data in conjunction with project-specific requirements, we can form a precise and robust risk profile. This allows us to propose tailored mitigation measures that are both effective and realistic, considering factors like project timeline, budget, and environmental impact.

Our approach is rooted in pragmatism, meaning that we don’t just aim to eliminate theoretical risks—we strive to strike a balance between safety and project feasibility. We collaborate closely with stakeholders to ensure that any recommended mitigation measures, such as clearance, monitoring, or rerouting of activities, are actionable and aligned with the project's objectives. This level of customization can only be achieved through an in-depth, multidisciplinary understanding of the project’s scope, regional specifics, and the latest advancements in UXO detection technology.

Ultimately, our goal is to provide a clear, forward-thinking strategy that not only safeguards the project but also supports efficient execution by minimizing downtime, ensuring compliance, and maintaining worker safety throughout all stages of development.
