Metadata: 2010, Alpha Associates, Blyth NaREC Offshore Demonstration Site, Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) Threat and Risk Assessment
Abstract:
Items of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) are regularly encountered within the North Sea and rarely become inert or lose their high explosives effectiveness with age. There is therefore, a risk that UXO could be encountered at the Offshore Wind Demonstrator Site, Blyth. Cathie Associates Limited, on behalf of NaREC, has commissioned 6 Alpha Associates Limited to conduct a detailed UXO desk based study for this wind farm development.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The aim of this document is to address the initial stages of the UXO risk management process by providing a holistic overview of the UXO threats and risks for the marine component of the entire operation. The report cross-references and accounts for relevant statutory instruments. The report describes the potential for UXO encounter, the risks that may be posed as a result, as well as how those risks can be reduced to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP), at best value. |
