Security Operations
At the former Camp Sibert in Alabama, our team achieved a significant milestone by executing the first regulator-approved, full-scale Advanced Geophysical Classification (AGC) removal action. Leveraging MetalMapper®’s capabilities, we collected high-resolution, static cued data over anomalies identified by dynamic EM61 electromagnetic surveys.
Our targeted approach allowed us to focus remediation efforts on just 16% of the 8,350 initially identified targets, resulting in an impressive 84% reduction in unnecessary excavations.
Key Outcomes
- Minimized site disturbance
- Reduced project costs
- Accelerated the overall timeline
- Maintained the highest standards of safety and environmental stewardship
This method not only demonstrated the precision and reliability of anomaly classification but also led to strong support and formal approval from regulatory bodies, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), local regulators, and private landowners.
Advancing Industry Standards
Building on this success, we continue to advance geophysical remediation nationwide. Today, our teams integrate cutting‑edge technologies that improve detection accuracy and operational efficiency. Furthermore, we adapt each tool to site‑specific conditions to maximize value. Our current operations at multiple sites nationwide incorporate state-of-the-art innovations such as:
- Sensors such as the APEX and UltraTEM Classifier: enhance the accuracy and efficiency of subsurface investigations.
- Advanced positioning techniques like Simultaneous Location and Mapping (SLAM): improve spatial data integrity and operational flexibility.
- Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveys and robotic data-acquisition systems: enable us to collect comprehensive site data safely and efficiently, even in challenging or hazardous environments.
Through our ongoing dedication to technological innovation and best practices, we are setting new benchmarks for UXO detection and remediation. Our integrated approach not only ensures regulatory compliance and public safety but also provides sustainable solutions for complex environmental challenges at former military sites across the country.
