UXB database
Measure your unexploded bomb risk
Zetica provides expert services for UXB detection and clearance. A vital part of Zetica's Sitesafe service is the MAGCONE probing system.This accurately detects large air-dropped UXB to their depth of rest,which is typically up to 15m below surface, depending on soil conditions.
During MAGCONE probing a magnetometer tool, housed in a specially toughened alloy casing, is driven into the ground using powerful, truck-mounted hydraulics.This complements surface geophysical detection methods, allowing UXB and other metal hazards to be identified prior to piling.
A FOUR-STEP PROCESS
 |
1. Risk assessment and method statement from a qualified explosive ordnance clearance (EOC) operative. |
 |
2. Surface geophysical survey to allow shallow groundwork. This can detect shallow unexploded ordnance and map obstructions. |
 |
3. MAGCONE detects UXBs and obstructions on piling layout to the no-risk depth. |
 |
4. Any UXB detected can be dealt with by our EOC engineers and a Clearance Certificate then issued for the site. |
