UXO SURVEY / MARINE MAGNETOMETER

Magnetometer surveys measure the ambient magnetic field and can locate concentrated masses of ferrous material. These surveys are often used to locate ship anchors, buried pipelines, or investigate proposed cable and pipeline routes for cultural features.

Unexploded ordnance (UXOs), are explosive weapons that did not detonate or were dumped and still pose a risk of detonation, potentially many decades after they were used or discarded. Numerous UXOs are still present in various places around the world, including Europe, Australia, the Middle East, and South East Asia, resulting from wars including WWII, the Vietnam War, or the Iraqi Wars. These pose hazards to cable & pipeline installations, dredging or offshore construction works.

RCS offers its expertise in UXO detection surveys to port authorities, oil & gas companies, the renewable energy sector, cable installers, dredgers, and offshore contractors prior to any offshore operations in areas where UXOs still pose a risk.

RCS uses the latest technology in gradiometers, proton magnetometers as well as caesium magnetometers in conjunction with high resolution side scan sonars to carry out UXO detection surveys.

UXO Detection Services

UXO vary greatly in shape and size; they can range from small ammunitions to large sea mines. Their construction and composition also vary greatly, therefore well-designed surveys using high sensitivity sensors are needed to detect them.

RCS offer bespoke solutions, working with UXO consultants, to generate survey designs to optimise efficiency whilst acquiring high quality data for UXO assessment.

RCS provides UXO detection services in water depth ranging from 0m to over 100m, employing innovative solutions to allow high accuracy positioning of the sensors in extremely shallow waters.
