UXO Surveys

Identifying Seabed Risks

Briggs Marine’s Coastal Survey Vessels are available for nearshore Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) surveys.

The ‘Guardian’ class vessels offer excellent platforms for provision of survey work. Sensors such as multibeam echo sounders (MBES) can be deployed through the vessel moonpool on the robust moonpool survey pole. Side mounts are also available for deployment of additional sensors such as USBL systems, sub-bottom profilers etc.

The large aft deck, winches and A frame allow easy deployment of towed instruments such as side-scan sonars, magnetometers/gradiometer arrays..

Third-party survey companies can charter vessels or Briggs Marine can provide experienced skippers and surveyors dependent on our Client’s requirements.

Briggs has carried out numerous UXO surveys in cosatal waters for a range of commercial and public sector customers.
