Rapid UXO Acquisition System TerraDat’s UXO detection acquisition rates have significantly increased due to the use of a specialist magnetic gradiometry carrier system. This system utilises eight Foerster FEREX CON 650 gradiometer probes mounted on a bespoke towed rig. Real-time, sub-centimetre accurate positioning is provided via a Trimble 5700 RTK GPS. The rig is towed across the survey area behind a 4x4 vehicle or ATV acquiring swaths of data up to 3.5m wide. The probes are spaced at 0.5m intervals, giving twice the resolution of a conventional gradiometry survey. In optimum field conditions, the new system allows acquisition rates of up to 40 hectares a day - significantly reducing survey costs and time when compared to a conventional survey on foot. As one of Europe’s leading environmental geophysical contractors, TerraDat’s enhanced processing and interpretation capabilities allow datasets to be comprehensively interrogated to provide information on a variety of site hazards such as archaeological features, mine workings and buried structures and services. Up to 40 hectares of coverage a day
