Brimstone - UXO

We've received a few telephone calls from members of the public today regarding UXO on the beach near Cowden, following our features on BBC News and ITV News last night. We want to reassure the public that the Brimstone team is on the beach daily locating and disposing of ordnance. We've been working on this project for over three years now, and the safety of the public is, and always has been, our main priority. Please do not touch or move the items of ordnance. Leave them where they are, and let our engineers deal with them safely. #UXO #Hornsea #Yorkshire #Cowden #RAFCowden #UnexplodedOrdnance #EOD #BombDisposal #BrimstoneUXO

The cost of ignoring UXO risks could be more than just financial! Unexploded ordnance risks are often underestimated, but the consequences of ignoring them can be severe, impacting not only project budgets but also safety, timelines, and reputations. 🔴 Project Delays: Encountering UXO during construction or development work can lead to costly delays, often halting work for weeks or in some circumstances months. 🔴 Increased Costs: Unplanned UXO clearance can add significant expenses to your project budget, from expert assessments to emergency removal services. 🔴 Safety Hazards: The most important cost is human lives. UXO poses a significant threat to the safety of workers and the wider public, along with risks to local infrastructure and the environment.  🔴 Reputational Risks: Failing to address UXO risks can damage your company’s reputation and harm company culture around health and safety. Mitigating UXO risks is an investment in the future of your project. Brimstone UXO provides comprehensive risk assessments, clearance services, and peace of mind.

The Home Guard, sometimes referred to as the “Dad’s Army”, played a crucial role in defending the British Isles during World War II. Composed of volunteers who were either too young, too old, or otherwise exempt from regular military service, the Home Guard was tasked with protecting the country from potential invasion. While the Home Guard’s efforts were vital to the war effort, some of their activities have left a hidden legacy that could pose a risk today: unexploded ordnance (UXO). #HomeGuard #UXO #Contamination #UKConstruction #WWII #WarHistory #UnexplodedOrdnance

UXO remains a present and pressing concern in many areas of the world. Despite its importance, we know that UXO is often surrounded by myths and misconceptions that can lead to confusion and, in some circumstances, even dangerous situations. Understanding the reality of UXO is crucial for anyone who lives or works in areas affected by past conflicts or military activity. That’s why we’re debunking some common UXO myths, shedding light on the truths that everyone should know 👇 #UXOMyths #MythBusting #UXO #EOD #UnexplodedOrdnance

Following the discovery of two unexploded bombs at a construction site in Merseyside last week, the importance of professional UXO management has never been clearer. UXO risks are a real and ongoing concern, especially in historically affected areas. Brimstone UXO is here to provide expert risk assessments and safe UXO identification and disposal, ensuring the safety of workers and the public while keeping projects on track. If you’re in doubt, reach out - your safety is our priority. #UXOSafety #BrimstoneUXO #SafetyFirst #UXO #EOD #UKConstruction https://bbc.in/3YnXtD9

In the aftermath of past wars and conflicts, vast quantities of UXO were disposed of in what was considered to be the most convenient way available at the time: dumping them into bodies of water. On our blog we've explored how this practice has left a dangerous legacy lurking beneath our oceans, lakes, rivers and canals: https://buff.ly/3zSVVc9 #UXO #EOD #UnexplodedOrdnance #Munitions #MagnetFishing

For over a year, the Brimstone team has been on the ground in Lithuania, surveying 1,300 hectares of land south of Vilnius for a future military training area. Here's what we've accomplished so far: ✅ Faced extreme weather conditions, from scorching heat to freezing cold temperatures. ✅ Uncovered multiple sub-munitions, projectiles, and former Soviet practice bombs, thanks to precise data analysis. ✅ Hosted key visits from the UK Defence Attaché, Lithuanian politicians, and military officials. ✅ Featured in Lithuanian and German National Press. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made and look forward to continuing our work to ensure the safety and development of this crucial project. #UXO #BrimstoneUXO #Lithuania #Surveying #SafetyFirst #InternationalProjects #UXO 

When it comes to construction and development projects, there are countless risks to manage, but one that is often overlooked is UXO. Failing to identify and address UXO risks can lead to catastrophic consequences that extend far beyond a simple delay in work. From project standstills and budget overruns to safety hazards and reputational damage, ignoring UXO risks can have long-lasting and costly repercussions for any company: https://bit.ly/4eLzGDV #UXO #UKConstruction #Geotechnical #GroundInvestigation #HealthandSafety #RiskMitigation
