Phase 1A - Preliminary UXO research

The preliminary UXO investigation consists of two phases, in which several activities are carried out:

I - Inventory of source material

Literature study
Archival research
Interviews with local inhabitants and eye witnesses
Aerial photography interpretation

II - Assessment of the source material

This phase will only be carried out if the problem inventory gives rise to it:

Assessment of the inventory
Horizontal and vertical delimitation of the suspect area
Determination of the explosives types

The end result of the research is a report and an inventory map and analyse map (Bodembelastingkaart) in GIS. This last maps shows the UXO suspect areas.
