1 RPS Energy Ltd Explosives Engineering Services UXO Below: Mitigating Marine UXO Risk Presented by Victoria Phillips 1
2 Aim To deliver an overview of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) in the marine environment, the Risks posed during Engineering works, and to consider appropriate strategies for mitigations 2
3 What is Unexploded Ordnance? United Nations Definition Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) are explosive munitions, which have not yet been set off. UXO may already have been fired, dropped, or launched, but it has failed to detonate as intended. 3
4 Other Definitions AXO: Abandoned Explosive Ordnance. Explosive ordnance that has not been used during an armed conflict, that has been left behind or dumped by a party to an armed conflict, and which is no longer under control of the party that left it behind or dumped it. Abandoned explosive ordnance may or may not have been primed, fuzed armed or otherwise prepared for use. ERW: Explosive Remnants of War. Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) and Abandoned Explosive Ordnance (AXO). MEC: Munitions & Explosives of Concern From: IMAS Glossary of mine action terms, definitions and abbreviations.
5 Contamination Sources Numerous historical activities across the world have left a legacy of UXO contamination: - Conflict / Battle Areas - Weapons Testing /Training - Bombing & Firing Ranges - Aircraft Wrecks - Ship Wrecks - Coastal Batteries - Sea Dumped Munitions & Scuttled Vessels 5
6 Conflict WWII North Sea 6
7 Conflict WWII North Sea 7
8 Artillery & Bombing Ranges - UK 8
9 Aircraft Wrecks South Pacific 9
10 Ship Wrecks -Thames Estuary The Richard Montgomery - Loaded with 7000 tons of explosives - If the munitions detonated the consequences could be catastrophic 10
11 Dumped Munitions - Army secret ocean-dumping program - from 1944 to Nerve and mustard gas agent, Chemical filled bombs, landmines, rockets, Radioactive waste - Operation CHASE (Cut Holes & Sink Em) - Army cannot say exactly where all weapons were dumped from WWII to During WWI munitions were not to be brought into the harbour and were dumped prior to entry 11

20 UXO Risks - Initiation HE ordnance does not generally spontaneously explode. Unfuzed HE requires significant energy to induce initiation. Potential initiation depends on ordnance fuzing and investigation activity. Examples are: Drill / piling impact on bomb fuze pocket, which has build up of picric acid crystals Cutter dredger strikes percussion fuze on a mortar Seabed Plough strikes a sensitive munition 20
21 Water can have a suppressive effect on explosive events Therefore the safety/danger distances will be significantly reduced in the event of an underwater detonation, dependant on the depth of water. This affords some protection to personnel and equipment. This protection is lost once items of ordnance are brought to the surface. Underwater Explosions
22 Explosion Underwater Effects Differ to explosions in air because: Water is a different consistency and produces extremely effective tamping or cushioning effect To achieve Target Damage at a distance larger charge weights are used in most underwater weapons. BUBBLE PULSE EFFECT is often used in mines to advantage.
23 Torpedo Testing Torpedo wearhead LB TNT. The warhead detonates below the keel, as opposed to striking it directly. The resulting pressure wave of the explosion "lifts" the ship and can break its keel in the process. As the ship "settles" it is then hit again as the explosion itself rips through the area of the blast. 23
24 UXO Assessment & Mitigation Desk Based Risk Assessment Risk Mitigation Strategy Sign off 24
25 Desk Based Assessment - If possible should be undertaken at the planning Stage - Site scope - Intertidal &/or Offshore - Water Depths & Seabed Type/ Mobility - Site History - Understanding of Site works - Methods of installation - Identify Hazard Levels - Identify Appropriate Mitigation - Ordnance Records - Detailed Historical Search - Hydrographical Mapping - Accessing Archived Data - Identify Dumping locations - Weapon Characteristics (NEQ, Fuzing ) 25
26 Mitigation Strategy Proactive Measures: - Avoidance - Detection (survey) - Investigation - Disposal Reactive Measures: - Safety Briefings - UXO Supervision & Management Plans - Screening 26
27 Detection - Geophysical Survey Sub Bottom Profile Magnetometry / EM Side Scan Sonar 27
28 Ordnance variations: - ferrous / non-ferrous - size / weight / shape Geophysical Techniques - Survey Considerations Burial/Penetration depths: - is the ordnance on the sea bed or buried Sea bed composition Sediment mobility Water depths Detection capability: - Fish/Array Height - Line spacing Positional accuracy - GPS / USBL 28
29 Anomaly Investigation Divers Hand Held Detectors,Air Lifts & Tactile Search ROV s TSS / SmartSearch, Dredge Pumps / Sonar 29
