A UXO survey is a critical step in managing unexploded ordnance (UXO) risk. It involves systematically applying geophysical and geospatial techniques to accurately identify, locate, and map potential UXO contamination within a defined area. This process may include desktop studies, historical research, non-intrusive surveys (using magnetometers, EM, and GPR), and intrusive investigations. Operators analyze the resulting data to create detailed maps and risk assessments, which they then use to develop appropriate mitigation strategies. These strategies include clearance, avoidance, or other risk management measures.
