Time-Critical Enabling Works
Rapid deployment of UXO supervision for enabling works under a compressed programme, with zero downtime and strong H&S outcomes despite short-notice appointment.
The challenge
S.I UXO was appointed at short notice to support enabling works under a compressed programme. The client required immediate deployment of a qualified UXO engineer to satisfy CDM obligations and ensure safe execution of intrusive activities in an area with residual UXO risk.
Our approach
Following a rapid Preliminary UXO Risk Assessment, S.I UXO provided on-site UXO supervision and real-time risk management during intrusive activities. Clear communication protocols and pre-start briefings ensured all site personnel understood UXO risks, reporting procedures, and emergency response measures.
The outcome
- Zero downtime despite high programme pressure
- Safe completion of all intrusive works
- Client able to proceed to main works without additional mitigation
- Strong contractor and H&S feedback
