Safety first:
managing risks
What lies beneath the ground and waterbed, we safely bring to the surface.
Unexploded ordnance (UXO) and conventional ordnance pose a serious risk to projects in hydraulic engineering, dredging and civil infrastructure. W. SMIT safely maps these risks prior to operations, using specialist expertise, certified procedures and suitable equipment. For this, we work closely with 360Survey.
