Our UXO risk management services are built on extensive expertise across both land-based and marine environments. Our team includes experienced ex-military and civilian professionals with decades of hands-on experience in explosive ordnance identification and disposal. We are leading experts in historical WWII munitions, with a focus on British, American, and German ordnance.
Committed to impartiality, we do not offer UXO risk assessment services as part of our portfolio. This ensures a transparent and unbiased process. Our sole focus is on mitigating risk, not calculating it. If you require preliminary or detailed UXO risk assessments, we can connect you with independent specialists who have no commercial interest in recommending follow-up mitigation work.
All our services align with CIRIA's industry guidelines and CDM 2015 regulations, providing trusted, expert advice. Our goal is to deliver safe, efficient, and cost- effective UXO risk management solutions that give you complete confidence in your project.

We offer tailored site safety instructions alongside bespoke UXO Safety and Awareness Films designed to meet the specific needs of your project.
Our UXO Safety and Awareness Films provides a modern, efficient alternative to the traditional in-person UXO briefing. Developed for both site operatives and management teams, the film blends original WWII archive footage with contemporary visuals and narration to vividly explain why unexploded ordnance remains a risk across the UK. It covers what UXO is, why it still appears on construction sites, the types of munitions you may encounter, safe working practices and the correct actions to take if a suspicious item is found.
This flexible and accessible format which is available at any time, on any device, delivers consistent safety training across your workforce and serves as the standard go to option for all lower-risk sites.
Benefits Include
UXO Overwatch is designed for clients who have identified risk but having an on- site UXO presence isn't practicable, safe, or necessary. It's a perfect solution for brownfield or heavily contaminated sites where magnetometry surveys aren't viable or on-site watching briefs are not feasible due to general construction risks or other constraints.
This service brings together tailored Site Safety Instructions and UXO Safety & Awareness training films with immediate access to a retained on-call UXO Specialist, guaranteed to respond within five minutes of contact. Everything is delivered through a dedicated, client-specific online portal, easily accessible via a secure link or by scanning QR codes featured on UXO safety posters positioned conveniently around your site.
Benefits Include
When undertaking ground investigations, excavations, or general groundworks in areas with a known UXO risk, we provide experienced, EOD-qualified professionals to deliver a range of services tailored to your site and project requirements.
Our on-site services include non-intrusive and intrusive UXO surveys which assess and clear areas before construction begins, search and clear operations, borehole clearance for site investigations, and watching briefs for high-risk brownfield sites or locations where non-intrusive surveys cannot be carried out.
We also provide flexible support to help maintain safety, compliance, and project timelines, whatever the site conditions.
All work is carried out in line with CIRIA guidelines and health and safety regulations to ensure projects are completed efficiently, responsibly, and to the highest standards.

We specialise in delivering safe, efficient, and cost-effective UXO diving operations across the UK's inland waterways, ports, and harbours. Backed by decades of combined experience, our team consistently delivers projects to the highest professional standards.
Our team is made up of medically certified ex-Royal Navy Clearance Divers and UXO professionals who are the leading experts in the identification of historical ordnance. Their unmatched experience ensures accurate identification even in the most demanding environments, including nil visibility and black water conditions.
In today's industry, accurate munition identification is critical. It directly informs the safest and most effective disposal methods, reduces operational disruption, and ensures compliance with all regulatory requirements. That's why it pays to rely on specialists with deep expertise in the munitions your project is at risk from.
Beyond diving operations, we also provide a range of marine consultancy services, including UXO client representation, marine UXO supervision, and shipping support. All our personnel remain active in the field, fully certified, and committed to delivering the highest standards of safety and competence.
