UXO Report by G Tek
UXO Clearance
Sunshine Beach, Qld
Project No: 19042ADSP
19042190428SCRC
10.0 UXO INVESTIGATION METHODOLOGY
The task was conducted by trained UXO operator applying a Foerster Ferex 4.032 Magnetometer along 0.5-metre-
wide parallel transects, over 100% of the site. The Foerster Ferex 4.032 provides the operator with both aural and
visual cues in the presence of ferrous metal. Each cue was intrusively investigated using manual digging tools with
the source positively identified and removed from its located area. The exception was a reinforced concrete pier that
could not be removed by manual excavation to a depth of 600mm and was left in situ.
Once the identified item was removed, the location was re-searched to ensure that the removed item was not
“masking” additional items; once this check indicated no additional items, search of the transect continued until it was
clear. This process was continued until 100% of each Site was investigated.

the detection equipment, and search methodology applied to these Sites, a high level of confidence has been
achieved.
13.0 CONCLUSIONS
As a result of the UXO clearance, it is considered that the Site contains no remnant unexploded ordnance, explosive
ordnance or explosive ordnance waste that may impact required works.
14.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
