UXOS provides practical UXO consultancy and independent QA/QC support for clients, principal contractors, developers and site teams. Drawing on decades of operational EOD and UXO experience, we provide clear, proportionate advice throughout the lifecycle of a project — from reviewing proposed mitigation measures and contractor methodologies through to independent site oversight and project delivery. Where another UXO contractor has been appointed, UXOS can provide an independent layer of assurance, helping clients confirm that agreed methodologies, RAMS and mitigation measures are being followed correctly on site.

We can independently review UXO Risk Assessments, Method Statements, RAMS and proposed mitigation strategies to help determine whether the planned approach is appropriate, proportionate and suitable for the works being undertaken.
UXOS can attend site on behalf of the client or principal contractor to independently monitor UXO works being undertaken by third-party contractors.
This can include checking that works are being carried out in accordance with agreed RAMS, methodologies, project requirements and appropriate safe working practices.
We provide practical UXO advice directly to clients, principal contractors, project managers and site teams. Our role is to help clients understand the UXO risk, the mitigation being proposed and whether additional measures may be required, without unnecessarily complicating or delaying the project.
UXOS can provide site-specific UXO toolbox talks and safety briefings for personnel involved in excavation, piling, drilling, ground investigation and other intrusive works.
Briefings can include UXO awareness, recognition of suspicious items, site procedures and the correct actions to take in the event of a suspected UXO discovery.
We can assist with the preparation and review of UXO emergency response procedures, ensuring site teams understand what actions should be taken if a suspicious item is uncovered.
Clear procedures can help reduce confusion, protect personnel and allow an appropriate response to be implemented quickly.
UXOS can act as an experienced technical point of contact between clients, contractors and UXO specialists.
We can review reports and supporting documentation, provide practical feedback and help ensure relevant UXO information is communicated clearly to those responsible for managing the works.
Employing a UXO contractor does not necessarily mean the client needs to rely solely on that contractor's assessment of its own work.
Independent QA/QC provides an additional level of assurance.
UXOS can monitor UXO activities on behalf of the client and provide an independent view on whether the specified mitigation measures are being implemented correctly and whether site operations remain consistent with the agreed methodology.
This service can be particularly useful on larger or higher-risk projects where several contractors are involved or where UXO mitigation forms part of a wider ground investigation, piling or construction programme.
UXO mitigation should be appropriate to the actual risk and the type of work being undertaken.
Our approach is based on practical site experience rather than automatically recommending the most complex or expensive solution.
Where appropriate, we can advise on options including:
UXO Watching Briefs
Downhole Magnetometry
Preliminary Desktop Studies
UXO Risk Assessments
Toolbox Talks and Site Briefings
Emergency Response Procedures
Independent UXO QA/QC
Review of Third-Party UXO Methodologies
Client and Contractor Liaison
The objective is simple: manage UXO risk safely while allowing the project to progress efficiently.
