Managing the risk of Unexploded Ordnance in Marine Construction Projects
13 February, 2025
Thursday 13 February 2025 | 17:00 – 20:30hrs
Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, London
Join us in London to hear presentations by three industry experts on the latest developments in UXO management, detection and mitigation.
The detection and management of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) represents a significant risk and cost in construction operations, particularly those associated with offshore wind. For this year’s joint RICS and Hydrographic Society meeting we are joining forces with the Society for Underwater Technology to explore UXO from a risk management and regulatory perspective and hear about the latest developments in the survey tools and processes that are used to support identification and location.
