Offshore UXO · UXO anomaly investigation

UXO Anomaly Investigation Campaign

Geophysical detection, ROV investigation, and clearance reporting for unexploded ordnance anomalies.

Synthetic case study. Representative offshore workflow. No client data used. For demonstration only.

Operational pain points

Representative challenges SurveyIQ addresses — synthetic scenario, not a client claim.

  • UXO campaigns generate large anomaly lists with inconsistent classification codes.

  • ROV investigation results are stored separately from geophysical acquisition QC.

  • Clearance decisions lack structured audit trails for regulator review.

  • Re-acquisition after weather downtime loses track of investigated vs open targets.

Representative workflow in SurveyIQ

From scope intake to deliverables — a demonstration workflow for uxo anomaly investigation.

  1. 01

    Scope intake

    Upload or paste the UXO investigation scope. SurveyIQ structures objectives, methods, and deliverables for review.

  2. 02

    Missing information

    Blocking and advisory gaps are surfaced early — vessel nomination, sensor configs, reporting templates, and interface points.

  3. 03

    Procedure pack

    Draft acquisition, HSE, marine, and reporting procedures are generated with source references for human approval.

  4. 04

    Work packages

    Approved procedures become executable work packages with owners, dependencies, and readiness states.

  5. 05

    Command center

    Offshore teams work from one project truth — department cards, stop-work awareness, and today's plan.

  6. 06

    Logbook & evidence

    Department logbooks capture events, downtime, QC snapshots, findings, and DPR source notes in real time.

  7. 07

    DPR & deliverables

    Daily progress reports and final deliverables are assembled from verified project facts, not end-of-shift reconstruction.

Example scope elements

  • MBES, SSS, and magnetometer survey for anomaly detection.
  • Anomaly classification and prioritisation workshop outputs.
  • ROV or diver investigation of high-priority targets.
  • Disposition decisions: clear, monitor, or remove.
  • UXO clearance report and target database deliverable.

Representative outcomes

Illustrative metrics for demonstration — not measured client results.

Target status

Live

Open vs investigated vs cleared tracked in command center.

Investigation evidence

Linked

ROV events tied to anomaly IDs and geophysical contacts.

Clearance audit

Structured

Disposition decisions with approver trail in work packages.

Re-acquisition recovery

Work-package state

Weather downtime preserves target investigation progress.

Frequently asked questions

Can anomaly targets be tracked through clearance?

Yes. Target databases link geophysical contacts to investigation and disposition records.

Are disposition decisions auditable?

Clearance sign-offs are routed through work packages with human approval.

Is this real UXO data?

No. All targets and dispositions are fictional representative examples.
