BACTEC Intrusive Survey System
BACTEC has developed the next generation of intrusive survey instrumentation for the situation where UXO may have penetrated to a depth beyond the detection capability of non-intrusive survey systems or the surface is grossly contaminated with ferrous objects limiting the effectiveness of a non-intrusive system.
BACTEC's BXP system has been developed to rapidly and accurately locate buried ferrous objects which could potentially be unexploded ordnance.
BACTEC's BXP system has the following features:
- Flexible Application. The system can be introduced into the ground from a wide variety of platforms eg via a wheeled or tracked rig, jack up barge, 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 proprietary bespoke software system is specifically configured for deep UXO detection. Algorithms have been written which analyse the data and produce tailored outputs for clients allowing historically difficult sites to be surveyed by filtering out the ambient magnetic signature.
The intrusive technique can be used to provide specific clearance of geotechnical and geo-environmental boreholes, individual piles and pile groups or can be deployed in a matrix pattern for general area clearance.
If the client has a requirement for both geo technical information as well as clearance for deep buried ordnance, BACTEC can deploy its combined magnetometer and CPT cone to provide these two data sets as a single operation.
