To
overcome situations where unexploded ordnance may have penetrated
to a depth beyond the detection capability of non-intrusive
survey systems, or where the surface is contaminated with
ferrous objects limiting the effectiveness of a non-intrusive
system; BACTEC has developed the next generation of intrusive
survey instrumentation.
BXP has been developed to rapidly and accurately
locate buried ferrous objects that could potentially be
items of unexploded ordnance.
BACTEC’s new BXP system has the following
features:
Flexible Application
The system can be introduced into
the ground from a wide variety of platforms, e.g. via
a wheeled or tracked rig, jack up barge, by rail or,
in special circumstances, by pre-drilling and lining
holes and lowering the instrument by hand.
Rapid and Cost Effective Data Capture
The system employs a specially developed
sensor, which is configured to survey a column of ground
as it is vertically introduced. The system can quickly
and effectively record the vertical depth of a magnetic
anomaly, its horizontal distance from the probe and theoretical
modelled mass.
Flexible Data Interpretation
BACTEC’s latest bespoke software
system is specifically configured for deep unexploded
ordnance detection. Algorithms have been written that
analyse the data and produce tailored outputs for clients
allowing historically difficult sites to be surveyed
by filtering out their ambient magnetic signature.
The intrusive technique can be used to provide
specific clearance of geotechnical and geo-environmental
boreholes, individual piles and pile groups, and can be
deployed in a matrix pattern for general area clearance. |
