The quickest route to the right decision.
Coordinate explosive ordnance surveying in Heilbronn with specialist reports
Project owners, developers and site managers need the appropriate technical evidence for ground disturbance in Heilbronn. Ground conditions, pollutants and explosive ordnance are investigated with different questions in mind. FONTANA-EOD supports explosive ordnance assessment and the agreed investigation. Send complete reports, the planned ground disturbance with its location and depth, and details of the specialist planners involved. These establish the distinction between existing findings and explosive ordnance tasks still required.
Assess ordnance, contaminants and ground conditions separately.
Clarify the results needed before the next ground disturbance.
Document the areas investigated and limitations.
Assess the construction project
How are geotechnical, contaminated land and explosive ordnance documents brought together?
For a project in Heilbronn, each report is classified by its purpose, investigation area and result. Together, the documents support construction planning. The explosive ordnance question receives its own specialist assessment and the necessary coordination with those responsible.

Project site
Identify Heilbronn, its urban district and the surrounding area correctly
Take Heilbronn's responsibilities information into account
The city explains that explosive ordnance is outside the remit of its lower-tier soil protection and contaminated land authority. It identifies separate contacts for explosive ordnance matters. Technical questions and those responsible are therefore specifically assigned for your planned groundworks. Existing reports support this preparation within their documented purpose and scope.
Heilbronn is a separate independent urban district in the Stuttgart administrative district in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is distinct from the rural district of the same name. Identify the specific project address, for example in the centre, Böckingen, Neckargartach, Sontheim, Frankenbach, Kirchhausen, Biberach or an industrial or port area on the Neckar. For projects in the Heilbronn rural district, such as Neckarsulm, Lauffen am Neckar, Eppingen or Weinsberg, state the actual municipality. In the Neckar area between Heilbronn and Stuttgart, local responsibility likewise depends on the project location.
Local context
Responsibilities for explosive ordnance and soil protection in Heilbronn
Distinguish the respective duties
The City of Heilbronn expressly states that explosive ordnance is outside the remit of its lower-tier soil protection and contaminated land authority. It separately identifies the public order office and explosive ordnance disposal service for explosive ordnance matters. Soil protection evidence therefore does not automatically answer the explosive ordnance question.
Use reports for their intended purposes
For a planned change of use or new ground disturbance, organise existing documents by purpose. A geotechnical report, pollutant investigation and explosive ordnance report can together provide important foundations. For each report, record the questions answered, what remains open and who prepared it. Previous industrial use alone does not establish specific explosive ordnance contamination.
The city archive's chronicle documents the air raid on Heilbronn and its marshalling yard on 4 December 1944, the destruction of the town centre and subsequent recovery and clearance works. For present projects, historical findings are considered alongside known later changes. In central and reconstructed areas, port, industrial and railway sites, relevant records may concern former production, storage and handling functions, rubble removal, fill and later changes of use. This does not establish general contamination of a present-day plot; its information base and the planned ground disturbance remain decisive.
Requirements
Clarify technical requirements and responsibilities within the project
Relate requirements to the specialist task
For commissioned activities in Germany, the relevant technical requirements and questions of permits, competence and responsibility are clarified. The scope of services actually intended is decisive. Permits, competence and responsibility are assigned appropriately to the planned activities, specific tasks and coordination between them.
Link occupational safety to the construction sequence
Risk assessment, work areas and communication must suit the proposed activities. Ordnance specialist works are coordinated with the other construction activities. Operational organisation, traffic safety and other specialist technical inspections retain their own responsible parties. Joint coordination brings the information together without equating the different tasks.
Use technical findings correctly
A measurement anomaly first requires specialist assessment; its appearance alone does not identify it as explosive ordnance. If an object is genuinely suspected to be ordnance, the prescribed reporting procedures and the measures set by the responsible authorities apply. Investigation reports specify the work completed and its limitations, so that results are not extended to unexamined areas or later design changes.
Local procedure: City of Heilbronn: explosive ordnance and soil protection responsibilities · City of Heilbronn: explosive ordnance disposal and reporting procedure.
Planning and documentation: BFR KMR: clearance planning with a clearance plan – introduction · BFR KMR: geophysics · BFR KMR: documentation · Stuttgart Regional Council: explosive ordnance disposal in Baden-Württemberg · KMBD Baden-Württemberg: aerial photograph assessment and forms · DGUV: explosive ordnance clearance FAQ
The BFR KMR are used as technical guidance; locally applicable requirements and responsibilities must be clarified separately.
Permits, competence and responsibility for the specific activity are considered under the Explosives Act and the First Ordinance to the Explosives Act. The risk assessment under Section 5 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act relates to the planned activities. The DGUV Information 201-027 covers preventive investigation and clearance of conventional explosive ordnance and defines its scope. Its references to DGUV Rule 113-003 concern particular activities involving explosives; they are not applied indiscriminately to every construction-site investigation.
Working together
Distinguish the tasks of client, designers and specialist contractor
Client and operator
The project owner describes the proposed work and provides the available project documents. The operator adds requirements for use, access and timing. A coordinating contact makes cooperation easier but does not automatically take on every other party's duties. Before commissioning, record clearly which information is missing, who will obtain it and which decision the result is intended to support.
Planning and construction management
The specialist designers describe areas, depths, construction methods and changes. Site management coordinates the planned sequence with the construction contractors and agreed specialist works. Results are assigned to the respective intervention. A technical plan change is communicated early enough for its effect on the survey task to be assessed before construction. Organisational construction stage boundaries remain distinguishable from technical survey boundaries.
Specialist company and competent bodies
The private explosive ordnance specialist carries out the agreed assessment, investigation and documentation scope within the required permit and competence framework. The report identifies the volumes actually addressed and its limitations. The competent public authorities make official decisions. In Baden-Württemberg, the KMBD is based at Stuttgart Regional Council. Report a possible find to the competent local police authority or nearest police station; they notify the KMBD. Under its conduct rules, identification and further handling of the find remain reserved for KMBD specialists. Necessary public safety measures are clarified with the competent authorities.
Investigation task
Which specialist task comes next?
Define the outstanding explosive ordnance question
Describe the planned ground disturbance and provide the associated explosive ordnance documents available. Other specialist reports are considered as supplementary information according to their purpose. The method required follows from this task and site conditions. Previous industrial use alone determines neither specific contamination nor a defined investigation scope.
Choose methods according to the outstanding explosive ordnance questionDocument complications separately
Pollutants, structural obstacles and metal interference can create different project requirements. Record these relationships clearly. The explosive ordnance investigation describes its own capabilities and limits. Further steps are agreed for areas not adequately covered; positive results from other investigations do not automatically resolve this outstanding question.
Compare investigation methodsProject types
Coordinate several specialist tasks within one construction sequence
Establish what each report says
A geotechnical report, pollutant investigation and explosive ordnance report may concern the same area while answering different questions. Record each one's purpose and investigation scope. Their results are considered together for planning. A matching address is insufficient to apply a specialist report's conclusion to a different task.
Check whether reports use the same site boundary, subarea and drawing revision. An individual ground investigation may reach a different depth from a new utility. Provide the associated appendices for each result and distinguish confirmed information from assumptions. Identify missing documents together with the question still outstanding. This keeps the origin of each piece of information clear for the shared construction section.
Document findings and their limitations
Plan the explosive ordnance investigation separately
The specific explosive ordnance question is derived from existing findings and planned ground disturbance. The scope and suitable approach are then defined. Existing utilities, ground structure and access form part of the local conditions. Other specialist investigations provide important information but replace particular evidence only where this is actually justified on technical grounds.
For port, industrial and infrastructure projects, also describe auxiliary pits, shoring and working space outside the footprint of the later structure. Civil and utility works, sewer and road construction, and railway and waterway tasks may occupy different sections and depths. The proposed investigation is related to these spaces. Building or neighbourhood development on previously used land is prepared according to the groundworks actually planned; a use designation alone does not define the method. For bridge connections and waterway facilities, the riverbank and connection areas actually occupied are also defined in each specialist commission.
Compare specialist servicesPass on results with their limits
Site management needs the reports and appendices applicable to the planned works. Each report retains its own scope of conclusions. Areas not investigated and outstanding questions are clearly identified at handover. For the next groundworks, this enables specific clarification of prerequisites already met and tasks still to be addressed.
For areas handed over in phases, make clear which specialist reports are already available and which still need additions. A completed laboratory finding is recorded with its sample and investigation reference. An explosive ordnance result identifies its own area and conclusion reached. If the next construction phase needs additional prerequisites, these are passed on with a task and contact. Earlier documents and new additions remain traceable together.
Document findings and their limitationsPreparation
Prepare the scope and commission together
Establish what needs to be known before commissioning the work
Before commissioning, identify the outstanding explosive ordnance question. The project file may already contain information on bearing capacity, pollutants and former uses. These documents are considered according to their respective conclusions. The quotation for explosive ordnance investigation describes the areas, points and depths to be addressed and the results required. Where working areas of different disciplines overlap, shared prerequisites and separate specialist tasks are clarified in advance.
Define the specialist taskCoordinate preparatory work with the investigation
A geotechnical investigation or sampling operation may also affect a volume of ground not previously investigated. The location, depth and working method of this preparatory ground disturbance therefore form part of coordination. The explosive ordnance information and protective measures needed are clarified before the affected groundworks. Construction requirements, known pollutants and access conditions are passed to those responsible. A date for another investigation is planned together with the actual stage of specialist work.
Clarify preparatory work in the programmeAgree a clear scope and schedule
The work sequence records which result is needed before which ground disturbance. Completed reports, investigations in progress and outstanding tasks remain distinguishable. Site management receives the status for the specific section proposed. If an investigation point moves or a deeper excavation is planned, the affected specialist planners are involved before the change. Applicable investigation results remain usable within their original scope; an additional volume of ground receives separate clarification.
Discuss the scope and scheduleTasks at the site
Coordinate reports, ground disturbance and work sequence
01
Specialist reports with their appendices
Provide existing reports with their appendices and identify the questions they address. Historical assessments and previous investigation results are particularly important for explosive ordnance assessment. Information from other disciplines may supplement planning. It does not replace evidence of the scope and results of the explosive ordnance investigation.
02
Construction works and investigation points on the site plan
Mark excavations, utility routes, investigation points and other proposed ground disturbance on a current plan. This enables those involved to see where their works meet. Even minor preparatory ground disturbance belongs in coordination if it affects an area not previously considered.
Add reference elevations and clearly identify moved or omitted points. A deeper foundation or additional utility connection may change the volume investigated. Show the actual proposed route and working space needed on the common plan. For fill, soil removal or later redistribution of ground, state known changes with their origin and timing. Each specialist assessment uses this information within its respective task.
03
Results needed before the next ground disturbance
Agree the technical information needed before the next ground disturbance and who provides it. A planned investigation is not yet an available result. Site management should therefore know the areas addressed, where limitations exist and which steps remain outstanding.
For an investigation borehole or sampling operation, identify the proposed point and depth required. If it moves for construction or operational reasons, the affected specialists receive the replacement position. They assess the changed space for their respective tasks. Project coordination then brings together the results available, investigations still outstanding and sections remaining open until clarification.
04
Access, utilities and paved areas
Known utilities, paved areas and existing structures belong in preparation. They may affect both access and measurement conditions. Whether the area can be investigated with the proposed method requires specialist review. Being accessible on foot is insufficient for this assessment.
Project documents
Documents that establish the next step
Identify responsibilities early
Define who addresses each technical question and who brings project coordination together. Heilbronn's information expressly distinguishes explosive ordnance matters from the remit of its lower-tier soil protection and contaminated land authority. Appropriate parties are contacted for the specific planning task. A general enquiry to a single specialist authority does not replace this allocation.
Coordinate investigation steps
Preparatory investigations may themselves involve ground disturbance. Their locations, depths and prerequisites therefore belong in the common construction sequence. Agree which information is needed before each step. Those involved can then organise the works appropriately without assuming that an outstanding technical question has already been resolved.
If an investigation is delayed or a point inaccessible, identify the outstanding area in the progress record. Other trades receive the actual results and prerequisites still outstanding. Necessary investigations and protective measures are clarified before the preparatory ground disturbance they affect. Following a change, affected specialist tasks are related to the same drawing revision. A planned date replaces neither a completed report nor clarification of its limits. Where clearance works are carried out, the associated clearance record, including areas and depths addressed, is kept in the project file.
Construction sequence
Coordinate investigation and construction sections
Assign documents before enquiring
Send the existing reports in full and identify their authors, investigation areas and drawing revisions. Show the new ground disturbance with location and depth. Outstanding questions can already be identified in the enquiry. This makes clear which document concerns explosive ordnance and which additional specialist coordination is required.
Bring prerequisites together before work begins
Compare the proposed construction section with the results from the specialist planners involved. Outstanding prerequisites are identified with a responsible party and the next step required. Changes receive a common drawing revision. Site management then uses the complete documents, whose scope can be related to the actual works.
Method selection
Select methods according to the task and survey conditions
Historical records and aerial photographs
Historical research and aerial photograph assessments can establish past uses and possible wartime effects for the investigation area. Contaminated land research may provide additional information about the site but addresses a different question. Sources, spatial reference and outstanding knowledge needs are checked for the explosive ordnance assessment. Where needed, the necessary additional research or aerial photograph assessment is actually carried out. The result supports decisions on the further investigation scope and is compared with later ground changes.
Understand aerial photograph assessmentMagnetometric survey
Geomagnetic surveying passively measures the magnetic field. The decisive factor is an object's magnetic effect; electrical conductivity alone does not establish detectability with this method. Where several specialist investigations share an area, available information on metal structures and interference is brought together. The explosive ordnance specialist planner assesses measurement conditions and recorded anomalies for its own task. A geophysical measurement is handed over neither as a laboratory finding nor, without verification, as identified explosive ordnance.
Understand the scope of magnetometryElectromagnetic methods
Transient electromagnetic methods, or TDEM, record the time-dependent electromagnetic response of conductive objects. Selection depends on the investigation objective and local conditions. Metal utilities, structural remains and other interference are considered using existing site information. Measurement data and specialist assessment receive area and depth references. For the common construction sequence, identify the conclusion reached and any outstanding task for another volume of ground or another discipline.
Understand electromagnetic surveyingGround-penetrating radar
Under suitable conditions, ground-penetrating radar can detect structures and anomalies in the ground. Ground structure, moisture, installed structures and the investigation objective affect suitability. Geotechnical investigation information may support planning; interpreting radar data remains a separate specialist task. For sampling or a new trench, compare the volume of ground required with the area actually investigated. A displayed change of strata or other structure alone does not identify explosive ordnance.
GPR and limitationsDeep-ground and downhole surveys
For a deep excavation, piled foundation or investigation borehole, establish the conclusion needed for the proposed depth. A deep-ground or borehole survey is planned with points, depths and reference elevations. Existing investigation and site data are considered according to their purpose. Clearance for a borehole, or the technical evidence, relates to the volume of ground actually investigated. A replacement position or changed drilling depth requires this reference to be compared again before work begins.
Prepare deep interventionsSurvey during construction
If a necessary preliminary investigation cannot be completed in full, the proper technical approach for the affected spaces is agreed. Explosive ordnance investigation during construction may combine investigation, necessary excavation in layers, specialist exposure and additional surveys. Requirements for handling contaminated soil are considered separately with the responsible specialists. Merely watching excavation is insufficient as detection. Areas addressed and remaining limitations are documented for the common construction sequence.
Agree the approach during constructionTechnical assessment
What the individual investigations establish
Aerial photograph assessment and further investigation needs
The Historical aerial photograph analysis can assess indications of possible explosive ordnance for the specific area. It must be read with its sources and limits. Whether technical investigation is subsequently needed, and what it should involve, depends on these findings and the planned ground disturbance.
Surveying, pollutants and bearing capacity
The Surface survey investigates geophysical anomalies according to its brief. It provides no general pollutant assessment or conclusion on the ground's bearing capacity. Equally, an unremarkable laboratory result does not replace an explosive ordnance investigation. The different specialist reports retain their respective scope.
Investigation during excavation works
If explosive ordnance clearance during construction is required and agreed, the task and suitable method are clarified beforehand. According to the DGUV, merely watching excavation is not proper specialist detection. For deeper ground disturbance, also clarify the depth and areas in which the selected approach provides meaningful results.
If a result identifies an area needing further work, its location and outstanding task are handed over. Any necessary area clearance is prepared within the scope agreed by specialists. The clearance plan and clearance record refer to the work actually planned or carried out respectively. Pollutant and soil disposal information is considered by the specialists responsible. The different forms of evidence remain separately identifiable for the subsequent construction decision.
Next steps
From specialist documents to documented explosive ordnance investigation
Assemble reports
Organise existing documents by the questions they address. Initial contact identifies the project location and conclusion required. Existing plans, statements and reports are checked for currency, spatial relevance, completeness and gaps.
Address outstanding historical questions
Where historical questions remain, the research and aerial photograph assessments required are carried out within the agreed specialist commission. The KMBD's existing preliminary investigation is considered in relation to the project for which it was requested. Additional findings are assigned to today's ground disturbance area and used in investigation planning.
Compare working areas
Compare investigation points and construction works on the plan.
Define the sequence
Clarify the necessary information before the next work step. The suitable method is selected using the investigation objective, ground disturbance depth, ground structure, installed structures and actual measurement conditions. Access and necessary prerequisites are clarified with those responsible.
Perform the agreed investigation
The agreed survey or appropriate investigation during construction is carried out on the defined areas and points. Measurement data and observations receive clear position and elevation references. Uninvestigated areas, restricted access and relevant interference are recorded.
Assess and document findings
The collected data and findings are assessed against the investigation objective and actual measurement conditions. The assessment takes account of interference and limitations. The report and plan appendices document the technical assessment, areas addressed and their position, elevation and depth references. Required further tasks follow from this.
Hand over results
Pass conclusions and limitations to those involved. Distinguish completed investigations from specialist tasks still required for the subsequent construction sequence. Designers and site management compare the next ground disturbance with the areas, depths and limits handed over.
Documentation
Assign specialist reports to the correct drawing revision
Findings and their scope
A traceable explosive ordnance report shows the services carried out, the areas concerned and the results. Project records should connect these conclusions with the correct drawing revision. Soil protection and geotechnical reports are filed separately with their respective questions. If the design changes, this enables a targeted assessment of which specialist coordination is needed again.
Keep the report version and associated plan appendix together. A result from early preliminary design may cover a different area from the later works. For several construction sections, assign each handover unambiguously. An appendix or technical addition supplied later is filed with its link to the original report. Subsequent designers and contractors can then trace which conclusion concerns the ground disturbance actually proposed.
Project responsibilities
FONTANA-EOD describes the specialist services carried out, volumes of ground investigated and limits of conclusions. Pollutant and geotechnical assessments are prepared by the specialists commissioned for them. For additional or deeper earthworks, the new scope is compared with existing reports and any further investigation needed is clarified before ground disturbance. Official decisions remain with the responsible public authorities.
Working approach
How FONTANA-EOD works
Document the agreed specialist service clearly
FONTANA-EOD addresses the agreed explosive ordnance question and documents the investigation carried out. The specialist report identifies its spatial scope, results and limits of conclusions. Other specialist reports remain available alongside it with their own investigation purposes. Those responsible for the project compare the prerequisites needed for the next construction section. A complete project file connects the documents without equating their technical conclusions.
Discuss the investigation taskThe task before the equipment
The starting point is the decision still missing for the planned ground disturbance. A geotechnical investigation may already have described strata; a pollutant analysis may identify requirements for handling soil. For the explosive ordnance question, establish the appropriate knowledge and any further investigation needed. The method is matched to the specific task. Each trade then receives the information it actually needs for its next step.
Keep limitations visible
A gap in spatial coverage is identified in the respective specialist report. Evidence for an investigation area remains confined to that area. If an additional section needs work, identify its location, depth and outstanding question. The responsible specialists clarify the next steps before the affected ground disturbance. Site management receives the documented status and prerequisites still to be met.
Clarify changes before intervening in the ground
If a utility moves, a ground investigation point is replaced or an excavation deepened, all affected specialist planners receive the same new drawing revision. For the explosive ordnance task, check whether existing knowledge covers the changed volume of ground. Other technical questions are checked by those commissioned to address them. Supplementary reports describe their new task and spatial reference. Earlier results and associated appendices are retained.
Hand over the report and plan together
For handover, reports and plan appendices are assigned together to the section completed. Identify recipients and the person who coordinates outstanding tasks for the next groundworks. If contractors change, complete documents are passed on, including limitations and additions. A report remains available with its actual technical question. The next construction phase is prepared on the basis of this documented status.
Understand the results
Use technical statements for the next decision
A report answers a defined question
Read the result and limits of conclusions together. For example, a pollutant assessment may provide important requirements for handling soil without constituting an explosive ordnance investigation. The project file records these differences clearly. Existing knowledge can then be used appropriately without deriving a broader conclusion from it.
Understand investigation reports and their limitationsCommunicate changes to everyone affected
A relocated utility or deeper excavation may affect several specialist tasks. Pass the new design to those affected and record the comparison results. Original reports are retained. Additions identify unambiguously the new question investigated and the area to which the conclusion applies.
Understand the service scopeDesign and findings

Historical evidence and the current design
Aerial photograph interpretation is related to the actual groundworks. Its purpose and geographical scope remain distinct from a technical investigation of the ground as it is today.

Process and documentationQuestions from planning
Questions about explosive ordnance assessment and specialist planning in Heilbronn
Is the contaminated land authority also responsible for explosive ordnance?
The City of Heilbronn expressly excludes explosive ordnance from the remit of its lower-tier soil protection and contaminated land authority. For the specific explosive ordnance question, involve the authorities and specialists identified for that purpose. Soil protection evidence is not official evidence addressing explosive ordnance.
Does a geotechnical report replace explosive ordnance assessment?
A geotechnical report addresses a different question. Whether an explosive ordnance investigation is additionally required and how it should be defined is clarified for the project. Existing knowledge may support preparation but must not be used as explosive ordnance evidence without review.
Can investigation drilling begin before coordination?
Planned investigation points should be included in specialist preparation with their locations, depths and working methods. They also disturb the ground. The information needed beforehand must be clarified for the specific situation; general clearance based only on the purpose of investigation would be insufficient.
Does FONTANA-EOD also provide pollutant or geotechnical assessments?
The agreed explosive ordnance investigation includes its documentation. Pollutant and geotechnical assessments are separate services. Coordinate these with the specialists commissioned for them.
How should a possible explosive ordnance find be reported?
Stop the affected work. Do not touch, move or relocate the suspicious object, and do not uncover it further. Leave the danger area, keep others away and call the police on 110 from a safe distance. Do not take the object to a police station. Follow the competent authorities' instructions.
How are investigation areas of different sizes assigned in specialist reports?
Assign each report its site plan, areas investigated and depths described. Compare these details with the planned ground disturbance. A shared location enlarges neither a report's spatial scope nor its technical conclusion; remaining gaps are identified separately.
Why are geotechnical reports still sent with the enquiry?
They may contain important information on the ground and design. Their content is considered according to the respective investigation purpose.
Which cost factors matter where several specialist investigations are involved?
For the explosive ordnance task, relevant factors are existing historical and technical knowledge, size and depth of affected areas, usable site plans, access and preparatory works, suitable methods, interference, analysis and documentation. Overlaps with other investigations are described as shared prerequisites or separate specialist services. Additional points and subsequent changes are considered with their actual scope. Costs of other assessments remain distinguishable by their respective commissions.
Project enquiry
Discuss specialist reports and the next groundworks
Assign reports completely
Send authors, investigation areas and results documents together.
Enclose the associated location appendices and each investigation question. Identify historical assessments, technical explosive ordnance reports, geotechnical reports and pollutant reports separately. State which documents are complete and where appendices or reliable site information are missing. A common plan shows the working areas of the specialist planners involved. Identify the project owner, site management and coordinating contact for further discussion.
Show the next construction section
Describe location, depth, construction sequence and outstanding technical questions.
Describe new ground investigation points and preparatory ground disturbance with their depths and reference elevations. Mark additional working space and the section needed first. Communicate known utilities, installed structures, paved areas and access restrictions. For design changes, pass on the new revision with the affected areas. For later construction phases, keep clear which results are already usable and which specialist task remains outstanding. Identify the project location in Baden-Württemberg or the other federal state.

Have your project assessed
Whether historical aerial photograph analysis, explosive ordnance surveying, surface surveying using GPR, magnetometry or TDEM, deep-ground surveys, downhole surveys, excavation supervision, area clearance or ordnance recovery is needed depends on the location, ground disturbance, depth, ground and existing documents. An early ordnance assessment provides clarity for tendering, programming, occupational safety and construction.
FONTANA-EOD combines its Section 7 SprengG licence, specialists holding Section 20 SprengG certificates of competence, suitable survey and clearance methods, and traceable documentation. Send the site plan, depth of ground disturbance, construction phase and existing documents for an initial technical assessment.
