  • Igne UXO requires a minimum of 48 hours’ notice if proposed works are to be cancelled or postponed.
  • If Igne UXO are informed that the works are cancelled or postponed within 48 hours of the confirmed commencement date, then a minimum charge of £200 may be applied to cover costs incurred.
  • If Igne UXO are informed that the works are cancelled or postponed within 24 hours of the confirmed commencement date then the client may be charged a minimum of one day rate (and also the mobilisation charge if the Engineer, Plant or Equipment has already been deployed to site).

  • The client to arrange any temporary works, traffic control, permits, licenses etc… required to carry out the work.
  • The client to arrange and maintain access throughout the site in order to carry out survey works.
  • Where Igne UXO are providing plant, the client will be responsible for ensuring that the site is secure at all times and that manned security is provided during non-working hours. If manned security is not available, then Igne UXO should be informed so that security arrangements can be reviewed and agreed with the client prior to commencement.
  • For intrusive survey works, OSGB coordinated pile layout and/or site plans in OSGB format are to be provided to Igne UXO prior to commencement so that the proposed UXB surveys can be overlaid on to this. Igne UXO will then provide the survey coordinates to the client.
  • All (or a sufficient proportion of) Igne UXO survey positions should be marked out by the client prior to commencement.
  • The client is responsible for ensuring that the Igne UXO works are contained in a safe working area, adequately separated from the public and other site operations.

  • The client should ensure that the area to be surveyed is level, firm and free of surface obstructions/obstacles.
  • The client will be responsible for penetrating/removing all non-ordnance related subsurface obstructions that prevent the survey from being carried out successfully.
  • Standing time charges; Daily work record forms used by Igne UXO will record any standing time accrued during the course of a working day and request the record to be counter signed by the client representative. In the case of measured works, standing time charges will apply if Igne UXO are unable to progress the works on site as a result of delays not caused by Igne UXO. Standing time costs will be £210 per hour per item of plant measured in 15-minute blocks. In the case of day rated works – standing time will be recorded and additional day rates may apply to complete the agreed scope of works.
  • For non-intrusive surveys, the client is to clearly demarcate the area to be surveyed prior to commencement and to highlight any known services/underground obstructions.
  • The client’s representative must be on site at the commencement of works so that any issues can be resolved, the scope of survey can be defined and paperwork can be completed.
  • The ground must be level, free of obstacles/obstructions and clear of undergrowth. The height of any crops should be no more than 400mm and, where crops are present, Igne UXO would require written approval from the landowner or client to walk over the fields.
