REODS
WHEN OFFSHORE PROJECT DEVELOPERS ARE CONFRONTED BY THE THREAT OF UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE (UXO), THERE ARE VARIOUS PHASES FOR THE SAFE IDENTIFICATION AND DISPOSAL OF THE ITEM. SHOULD COMPANIES GET IT WRONG, OR IGNORE THE THREAT, IT CAN LEAD TO UNEXPECTED COSTS AND EXTENDED COMMERCIAL DOWNTIME. RAMORA UK, AS A COMMERCIAL BOMB DISPOSAL CONTRACTOR, UNDERSTAND THE SIGNIFICANT IMPORTANCE OF TIMELY AND APPROPRIATE RESPONSE TO THE THREAT OF UXO TO MARINE PROJECTS.
The company has been working within many commercial sectors including; oil and gas, renewables and aggregate yards to fill the gap left by the Ministry of Defence in 2004 following their withdrawal from supplying EOD support to commercial projects. In the past few years alone, they have undertaken more UXO disposals, in the UK, than its military counterparts using various technology based solutions and have dealt with in excess of 770,000 ordnance items.
Ramora UK have successfully managed the safe disposal of thousands of items of maritime UXO thanks to their Remote Explosive Ordnance Disposal System (REODS). REODS is the only system in the world dedicated to the safe disposal of munitions within the maritime arena.
The REODS system utilises existing ROV technology to eliminate any diver interface thereby reducing both the human and commercial risk. The ROV has no limits to bottom time, is highly manoeuvrable even in strong currents and is controlled by highly experienced, fully qualified pilots under the supervision of a qualified EOD Superintendent.
