As the first British holder
of BS EN ISO 9002 accreditation in bomb and mine disposal and clearance diving
operations our position is recognised internationally as being on the forefront
of munitions location and disposal.
Large areas of the World have
been subject to armed conflict, and the unexploded remnants of war still remain
in the ground today.
Oceans have been used as dumping grounds for unwanted
conventional, nuclear, chemical and biological ordinance for the past 200
years, but because most military explosives do not hydrolyse, munitions still
lie intact on the sea bed today. Significant risks exist when any form of
intrusive engineering disturbs these land and sea munitions. Bombs, mines and
other items of ordinance still waiting to fulfil their design function can -
and often do - explode, destroy and kill.
The demand for
environmental contamination remediation services in support of city
redevelopment and roadway construction, harbour deepening to take larger
shipping, and the exploitation of offshore seabed resources has increased
rapidly. Health and Safety has assumed a greater importance and the
Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations now places more
responsibility upon land owners and developers to address site contamination
and eliminate risks.
Fellows International Limited
works in partnership with clients to analyse munitions contamination problems,
conduct non-intrusive surveys and create viable sustainable solutions using
state-of-the-art technology.
Fellows International Limited
(FIL) is an independent British company which has developed a total rapid
response unexploded munitions locations and remediation service, on land and
underwater, to Governments, NGOs, Civil authorities, Industry and Commerce
worldwide. FIL's development in company prominence and stature has been due to
a continual investment in technology and project achievement.
The company has been and is
actively involved in a wide variety of munitions environmental contamination
remediation projects on land and offshore worldwide. FIL conducted the marine
site contamination surveys for all the prestigious River Thames Millennium
Projects and has certified as "free from explosives" major port areas in the
UK, Eritrea, Somalia, Laos and Greece. (A list of recent completed projects is
available on request.) |
