Explosive ordnance surveying in Lingen (Ems)
Which explosive ordnance investigations are still needed for your construction project in Lingen (Ems)? The existing reports and planned groundworks come first. If an assessment finds no further action necessary for the area concerned, that result is also taken into account. FONTANA-EOD clarifies unresolved questions with you and carries out the necessary investigations commissioned.

Assess the construction project
Assess existing results before planning new measures
An existing assessment may find no further action necessary for its specific question. For your project in Lingen (Ems), we first check the area and conclusion covered by the document. Additional measures depend on the remaining questions and the ground interventions actually planned.
Project site
Connect the site with the specific construction task
Site and existing requirements
Specify the actual project location with a site plan and the affected land parcels. Existing information, official conditions and reports are assigned to this area. Lingen (Ems) is in the Emsland district of Lower Saxony. Local responsibility depends on the specific project address within the city or the respective surrounding municipality. For each site plan, identify the document version and the authority responsible for the project location.
For construction and service installation work, access routes, connections and working space are also marked on the site plan. For projects in the surrounding area, for example towards Meppen or Nordhorn, the actual project municipality determines the municipal administrative route. Any necessary historical aerial photograph analysis is related to the area and investigation question concerned.
For regional information relevant to your construction project, the Weser-Ems administrative area overview leads to further local information.
Local context
When an assessment finds no further action necessary
Documented planning status
The published explanatory statement for draft development plan 22 in Lingen’s Brögbern district, “Feuerwehr südlich der Duisenburger Straße”, reproduces an LGLN aerial photograph assessment dated 5 July 2023. For that planning area, no further action is described as necessary regarding possible unexploded bombs. At the same time, the document records that no surveying or clearance was carried out.
Implications for construction planning
Aerial photograph assessment and technical investigation are different stages of work. An assessment can answer a question without subsequent surveying being required. The result nevertheless applies only within its documented scope. For other properties, their own findings are compared with the planned groundworks. This identifies which question, if any, needs further investigation.
The Lingen City Archive describes air raids in 1944, fighting around the city in early April 1945 and the subsequent reconstruction. Research into bombing may address a different question from investigation of former combat positions or military uses. For the property, the documents actually available and the scope of their conclusions are related to later terrain changes and present-day ground interventions. A question about suspected unexploded bombs that has already been answered remains linked to its own results area and explanation.
Requirements
Clarify technical requirements and responsibilities within the project
Relate requirements to the specialist task
For the commissioned activities, the applicable technical requirements and questions of permits, competence and responsibility are clarified. The services actually planned are decisive. Required permits and certificates of competence are assigned to the activities described and the responsible persons.
Link occupational safety to the construction sequence
Risk assessment, working areas and communication must match the proposed activities. Explosive ordnance specialist works are coordinated with the other construction works. Operational organisation, site and traffic safety, and other specialist technical inspections retain their own responsible parties. Joint coordination relates specialist works and responsible participants to the construction sections concerned.
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.
The explanatory statement for development plan 22 in Brögbern reproduces the dated aerial photograph assessment result and the guidance on handling finds. The city’s land-use planning service can be used to identify the specified plan and its appendices. The LGLN explains wartime aerial photograph analysis for hazard investigation and the tasks in explosive ordnance assessment. For the current project, these principles are compared with the property and ground intervention concerned.
The principles of clearance planning connect the specialist task with construction planning. The specialist geophysical principles help assess methods and measurement conditions. The BFR KMR documentation requirements relate the results to the areas, depths and conditions actually investigated.
The defined remit of the BFR KMR guidelines concerns federal projects. Their technical principles are compared with the locally applicable requirements and responsibilities for the project.
For work in Germany, the permit, certificate of competence and responsibilities for the specific activity are assessed 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.
§ 7 SprengG concerns the commercial permit for activities requiring authorisation, and § 20 SprengG the certificate of competence of responsible persons. § 1b SprengG governs which provisions apply when searching for munitions that have been found. The commission identifies the planned activities and the persons responsible for them.
Working together
Distinguish the tasks of client, designers and specialist contractor
Client and operator
The client describes the project and provides the available project records. The operator adds requirements for use, access and timing. A coordinating contact brings the parties together; individual tasks remain assigned to the named parties. Before commissioning, it is clearly recorded what information is missing, who will obtain it and what decision the result is intended to prepare.
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 contractor performs the agreed investigation and documentation work. Official requirements and decisions are clarified with the respective responsible bodies. The records needed for a specific procedure depend on the location and project. The technical report documents the specialist work carried out and its area, depth and limits of conclusions. The responsible bodies make official decisions concerning subsequent groundworks.
Within the city, municipal requirements are agreed with the competent authority of the City of Lingen (Ems). If the project lies outside the city, the municipality at the actual project location is responsible. The state explosive ordnance disposal service supports municipalities in Lower Saxony within its remit.
Investigation task
Which specialist task comes next?
First compare the complete available findings
Before deciding on a method, existing assessments, technical reports and relevant correspondence are brought together. Their spatial and specialist scope is compared with the construction design. A statement that surveying was not carried out initially describes the documented stage of work. It must be read together with the actual result and the recommendations given, rather than used in isolation to infer a new measure.
Assess historical documentsDefine the remaining question before selecting a method
Only once an unresolved task is identified is a suitable approach determined. Depending on the question, supplementary clarification of documents may be needed first. Where appropriate, a technical investigation depends on the objective, depth, ground and accessibility. The agreed scope remains traceably related to the current construction task and the matters actually unresolved.
Compare investigation methodsProject types
Use existing conclusions specifically for further planning
A project within the area assessed
If a specialist conclusion already exists, compare it with the planned ground intervention and associated maps. The complete scope matters, not just a brief results statement. If the conclusion fits the current task, it remains a usable basis. A technical investigation does not become necessary merely because the report records that no surveying or clearance previously took place.
Relate the report’s results area to the foundations, connections and working space currently planned. If the position and investigation question match, a substantiated assessment remains part of the project’s basis. Where further appendices are referenced, these are also obtained. The decision on the next step is recorded with the complete result and current plan version.
Document findings and their limitations
A later extension of the construction area
Additional foundations, connections or working space may lie outside the area previously considered. Mark the extension on the site plan and compare it with the existing documents. This identifies the questions still unresolved. The original report does not thereby lose its value altogether; its conclusions continue to be used where their spatial and specialist prerequisites actually fit.
Mark extensions on the site plan with their maximum intervention depths and the elevation reference used. A new access route, service connection or relocated excavation may concern different volumes of ground from the building previously considered. Available findings are assigned separately to these areas. The existing conclusion remains valid within the area it actually covers; the supplementary commission identifies the question still unresolved.
Specialist services and investigation tasksIncomplete documents in the project records
Sometimes only a summary or report extract is available. Before inferring a new technical task from this gap, the complete assessment and its maps should be obtained. A gap in the documentation must initially be treated as such. Only a traceable comparison between the available findings and construction design shows whether specialist questions remain and how they can be clarified further.
Ask the client or author for the complete report, plan appendices and associated correspondence. Record whether documents are merely missing or an investigation has not yet been carried out. The explanation of the result must show which question has already been answered. This enables the planners to distinguish necessary retrieval of records from actual further specialist investigation needs.
Document findings and their limitationsPreparation
Prepare the scope and commission together
Establish what needs to be known before commissioning the work
First establish which decision the commission needs to support. Is the task an initial assessment of existing documents, an investigation of a specific area or examination of an anomaly that has already been assessed? These tasks require different evidence. A general wish for safety does not define an investigation that can be carried out. The enquiry therefore specifies the groundworks, location, depth and available findings. Suitable specialist work and the required reporting are then agreed on that basis.
For tendering, describe the questions still to be clarified, existing results and the required results handover. All companies invited to quote receive the same site plan and document version. A possible extension is described with its trigger and affected areas. If new documents are subsequently provided or construction sections are relocated, their effect on the commissioned scope is agreed before execution.
Define the specialist taskCoordinate preparatory work with the investigation
Required access and survey conditions are clarified before the site visit. This may include keeping areas clear, obtaining service information and coordinating with other trades. The method and site determine which preparations are actually needed. Changes to the surface or additional groundworks are not undertaken unilaterally simply to prepare for a survey. Their sequence is agreed with the specialist designers and responsible parties.
Preliminary work is also recorded with its position and depth. This may include opening paving, clearing a measurement area or creating investigation access. Before such interventions, the responsible parties clarify which specialist prerequisites must be met. The sequence identifies when the area can be investigated and who provides accessibility and the required as-built and service records.
Clarify preparatory work in the programmeAgree a clear scope and schedule
A reliable process distinguishes work already technically clarified from prerequisites still unresolved. If an area will only be partly accessible, this must be taken into account when commissioning the work. Handover and assessment of results also need time in the construction programme. Specific coordination connects the described scope with access, records, execution conditions and the date by which a decision is needed.
Discuss the scope and scheduleTasks at the site
What do your existing documents cover?
01
Area of the planned groundworks
Compare the area addressed in the documents with the actual design. If the intervention lies outside the assessed area, the result does not automatically apply there too. If the areas match, the existing result and its explanations are incorporated into the further assessment.
02
Explosive ordnance question investigated
A report may concern specific grounds for suspicion or limited possibilities for assessment. Pass on these limitations together with the result. A conclusion about possible unexploded bombs is not automatically a conclusion about every conceivable type of explosive ordnance.
03
Missing documents
If only a brief note is available, the complete report and its appendices should be obtained first. Missing documents and specialist findings that an investigation is needed are different matters. First clarify what the complete report says. Only then can it be assessed whether further investigations are necessary.
04
Changed design
Additional depths, extra areas or new site-specific findings are compared with the previous conclusions. This may identify further clarification needs. Check which results the change affects. The change does not automatically make the remaining conclusions unusable.
Project documents
Documents that establish the next step
Keep the basis of a conclusion traceable
Retain the complete assessment with spatial references, appendices and accompanying correspondence. Identify the question to which the result relates. If the document is passed on, its limitations must accompany it. This keeps clear to planners and site management why a conclusion is used for a particular intervention and which questions it does not answer. For commissioned investigations, the project file brings their measurement data, survey results and assessment of findings together in the associated report, with a site plan and limitations. After clearance work has been carried out, the clearance record, including its scope and results, is assigned to the areas actually investigated.
Give specific reasons for supplementary needs
If additional clarification is needed, the reason should be identified: for example a new area, changed ground intervention or unanswered question. The further commission describes this task and the conclusion needed. This avoids both blanket repetition of assessments already completed and unchecked application of existing results to another area.
Construction sequence
Coordinate investigation and construction sections
Before requesting an additional service
Provide the complete existing documents and describe why a further conclusion is needed. If only a plan appendix has been lost, that particular document should be requested. If the construction design has changed, identify the changes. On this basis, the necessary further specialist work can be clarified, together with the existing results that can continue to be used.
If execution changes later
Relocated connections, additional working space or different foundations are compared with the existing information before work on them starts. A change does not automatically invalidate all previous findings. It may, however, raise new questions for the affected areas. Therefore document the changed plan and the associated specialist assessment so that the next stage of work is prepared on a traceable basis.
Method selection
Select methods according to the task and survey conditions
Historical records and aerial photographs
Historical aerial photograph assessment and other old records help place the basis for suspicion in its spatial context. The available images, their evidential value and the limits of the area considered matter. The absence of an identifiable indication must be distinguished from a technically surveyed ground area. The assessment is considered together with the planned intervention and other available findings. It can support the choice of a survey, but is not a measurement of the present-day subsurface or confirmation for all future works.
Understand aerial photograph assessmentMagnetometric survey
Magnetometric methods detect magnetic anomalies. Whether they can address the specific survey task depends, among other things, on the expected objects, ground conditions, interference and required survey area. Fences, utilities or existing structures may affect interpretation. A measurement signal is therefore not described as ordnance solely because of its strength. Method, interpretation and any further investigation are planned as a connected specialist task.
Understand the scope of magnetometryElectromagnetic methods
Electromagnetic investigations can be suitable for particular metallic targets and site conditions. Their suitability must be explained for the task, rather than inferred simply from the availability of equipment. Interfering installations, accessible areas and the findings required must also be considered. Results are documented with their location and survey conditions. The specialist assessment determines whether a supplementary method is needed; this remains a project-specific decision.
Understand electromagnetic surveyingGround-penetrating radar
Under suitable conditions, ground-penetrating radar can provide information about subsurface structures and reflections. Ground conditions, moisture, installations and the particular survey task affect interpretability. An anomaly is not automatically ordnance, and an area with no apparent anomalies is not general evidence for arbitrary depths. The specialist interpretation and its limits are documented with the instruction. A survey for another purpose is not adopted without checking as ordnance evidence.
GPR and limitationsDeep-ground and downhole surveys
For deeper groundworks, it may be necessary to establish whether a surface investigation can provide the required findings or another approach is needed. Preparation includes the location, depth, borehole layout and existing services. Creating access for the investigation must also be properly planned by specialists. A general depth figure or standard grid cannot replace that work. Findings remain limited to the areas actually investigated and the method used.
Prepare deep interventionsSurvey during construction
If a necessary preliminary investigation cannot be completed in full, it is assessed whether a specialist-planned approach during construction is suitable. This includes coordinated investigation, evaluation and communication of findings within the planned sequence. Any necessary surveying remains part of the agreed approach; visual inspection supplements it. Site management needs a clear description of when specialist work takes place, how new findings are handled and which areas remain unresolved. For explosive ordnance clearance during construction, the DGUV FAQ explain the necessary technical investigation works. Visual observation alone does not meet the state of the art for this specialist task.
Agree the approach during constructionTechnical assessment
Relate the existing assessment to the further specialist task
Read the complete aerial photograph assessment
An existing aerial-photo analysis is read together with the results area and explanations. The LGLN describes the requirements for corresponding applications. If it is unclear whether the assessment covers the planned work, this question must be clarified first. Wanting an additional document does not in itself justify a technical investigation.
The decisive point is which question the existing assessment actually answers. Available image capture dates, spatial coverage and identifiable features are considered together with the result. Later construction over the area, excavation or fill may be relevant when comparing it with present-day groundworks. If historical matters remain unresolved, the necessary research is carried out and further investigation needs are defined using the resulting findings.
Define the investigation objective
If a geophysical survey is required, its objective, scope and local prerequisites are described. The method and limitations of its conclusions must match. A general site name or the absence of earlier surveying is not sufficient on its own to define the technical task.
Method selection takes account of expected target objects, ground conditions, interference and the investigation depth required. Existing services, reinforcement and other metal installations are considered when planning measurements. For drilling, the starting point, depth and elevation reference are specified. The report links the actual measurement areas with the method, specialist evaluation and remaining limitations. Inaccessible areas or areas whose measurements cannot be interpreted receive an unambiguous spatial assignment.
Observe the allocation of responsibilities
The clearance plan describes the specialist approach where needed. Under Lower Saxony’s allocation of responsibilities, statutory municipal measures and KBD tasks remain separate from commercial hazard investigation. The specialist report documents the investigation carried out; necessary official decisions are made by the competent authorities.
If the assessment identifies further work needed, the clearance objective, volume of ground affected and approach are agreed. The tender specifies prerequisites, interfaces with groundworks and the documentation required. Where explosive ordnance is identified, recovery and further measures are coordinated with the competent authorities within Lower Saxony’s allocation of responsibilities. The survey report and clearance record document the specialist work actually carried out, with its conditions and limitations.
Next steps
How to clarify further investigation needs
Identify the project location and next groundworks at first contact
Provide existing assessments, plan appendices and official correspondence together with the current ground intervention design. Record which conclusion belongs to which area. Provide recommendations with their associated report and date. An oral summary may omit important limitations. For the first discussion, identify the project address, affected land parcels, site plan and planned construction start. Explain which intervention still requires a planning decision.
Check documents and investigate unresolved historical questions
Unclear area boundaries, missing appendices and differing plan versions are listed individually. When clarifying them, distinguish whether a document is merely missing or a specialist question has not yet been answered. Commission further investigations only on the basis of a clarified task. Existing documents are checked for completeness, investigation question and spatial conclusions. If historical matters remain unresolved, the necessary research and wartime aerial photograph assessment are carried out. Their results and limitations are assigned to the affected groundworks.
Define methods and prerequisites for further needs
Where additional investigations are needed, their purpose is explicitly described. The commission should identify the unresolved question to be answered and the results to be handed over. Take account of questions already answered on a substantiated basis. For any necessary technical investigation, the specialist planners select the method according to target objects, intervention depth, ground conditions and interference. Investigation areas and required access are described; official requirements are agreed with the competent authorities.
Carry out necessary specialist work and assess results
Where further investigation is needed, the agreed surveys or specialist supervision work are carried out. The specialist company evaluates measurement data and findings in relation to methods and local conditions. Limitations are documented with their location. An actual suspected find requires the affected work to stop and the competent authorities to be notified immediately.
Hand over the report with results areas and limitations
Inform those involved which documents are relevant to the planned interventions and what lies outside their scope. Later changes are compared again before the affected work. If a recommendation is changed or extended, the specialist reason must be recorded. The documentation identifies the areas and depths actually investigated, methods, results and remaining questions. The report and plan appendices go together to the agreed recipients. Their assignment remains traceable if site management or contractors change.
Compare the next intervention with the documented status
Those involved compare subsequent groundworks with the documented results. If changes occur, the new position, depth and execution are identified. Where further clarification is needed, the unresolved question, responsible contact and required results handover are recorded before the affected intervention.
Documentation
Pass on reports with the area plan and limitations
Findings and their scope
Alongside the actual findings, the results handover includes the area considered, investigation question, underlying documents and any limitations. For a technical investigation, the methods, scope investigated and investigation result are also included. The report must show what supports its conclusions. Identify whether a result comes from an assessment or a technical investigation.
Project responsibilities
Despite stating that no further action was necessary, the Lingen planning document includes guidance on what to do if items are found. A suspicious find must be reported immediately, regardless of the earlier planning result. A statement that no further action was necessary does not remove this duty.
Working approach
How FONTANA-EOD works
Document the agreed specialist service clearly
We assess the planned groundworks against the available documents and their design revision. Before attending site, we agree with you what needs to be investigated, which areas are accessible and what findings are required. If the design or site conditions change, we check whether the agreed scope remains appropriate. The report states what was actually investigated and the limits of the findings. This allows designers and site management to see which findings they can use and where questions remain.
Discuss the investigation taskThe task before the equipment
We first establish the investigation objective: which question must it answer? We then select a technically suitable method. The availability of a particular device or experience on a similar neighbouring site is not enough to justify the choice of method on its own.
Keep limitations visible
Inaccessible areas and limited findings are identified. They are shown separately in the report and overview plan. Planners and site management can then decide specifically which areas still need work and when a suitable investigation will become possible.
Clarify changes before intervening in the ground
A new location, additional depth or different construction methods are compared with the existing results. Changes are passed on with dates and clear plan references. Feedback is provided before the affected work so that an unresolved question can be incorporated into the workflow.
Hand over the report and plan together
The technical conclusion remains connected to its location references and appendices. A brief summary helps orientation but does not replace the documented survey scope. This basis is retained even if site management or contractors change.
Understand the results
Use technical statements for the next decision
Read results together with their scope
A statement is understandable only with its investigation task. Check the area and depth described, methods used and restrictions. A report title or single result line is insufficient. For new work, these details are compared with the current plan to establish which knowledge remains usable and which question is unresolved.
Understand investigation reports and their limitationsUse project terminology unambiguously
Document review, surveying, construction-phase specialist work and recovery are different tasks. An enquiry need not identify the correct method in advance. An accurate description of the intervention and required decision is more useful. This establishes the appropriate technical scope and prevents a general term from meaning different things in design, procurement and execution.
Understand the service scopeDesign and findings

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 investigation needs in Lingen (Ems)
Must surveying follow every aerial photograph assessment?
No. Whether surveying is needed must be clarified for the specific project. The result, its limitations, the location and planned ground interventions, together with the requirements of the competent authorities, are decisive. An assessment finding no further action necessary must also be considered within its specific scope. Before the planned groundworks, agree investigation needs with the specialist company and official requirements with the City of Lingen (Ems). The KBD supports the municipality within its remit.
Does “not surveyed” mean an area has not been assessed?
Not necessarily. Other findings or assessments may already exist. Their specialist conclusions must be distinguished from a technical survey. Using the complete documents and planned work, check which questions have been answered and which remain unresolved. The suitability of technical methods depends on ground conditions, interference and the depth required.
Does the Brögbern result also apply to my property?
The cited document concerns only the planning area it describes and the assessment dated 5 July 2023 reproduced there. The result does not apply to other properties in Lingen (Ems). Your project’s own areas and findings are checked.
When do existing results need to be checked again?
If intervention areas or depths change, additional findings become available or the relationship between the report and the design is unclear. A renewed comparison does not automatically mean repeating all investigations. The type and scope of further steps must be explained.
What applies if something suspicious is found during groundworks?
Stop the affected work and do not touch or move the object. Move away, keep others away and, in Germany, contact the police on 110. The Lingen planning document likewise states that the competent authorities must be notified immediately; follow their instructions.
What should I do if only a brief statement of results is available?
Request the complete document with its site plan and appendices. A brief results statement often does not show which area and question were considered. Until this assignment has been clarified, the documentation remains incomplete; this does not, however, imply any particular additional investigation method. After the documents have been checked, remaining questions and any necessary specialist work are defined. Results are handed over with spatial references and limitations.
Can part of an existing report continue to be used when a project is extended?
Yes, insofar as its conclusions fit the areas and questions still covered. The extension is compared separately with the documented scope. Further needs depend on the remaining questions and project requirements, rather than on a blanket repetition of all previous work.
What determines the work involved in further clarification?
The completeness of the documents, their relationship to the current design and the specialist questions still unresolved. If technical work is required, area, depth and working conditions also matter. A specific task description enables transparent agreement on the scope and required results handover. Methods, measurement conditions, access and the documentation needed influence the work involved, timing and costs.
Project enquiry
Check explosive ordnance documents for your project in Lingen (Ems)
Provide the complete existing records
Provide the assessment with its site plan, appendices and associated correspondence. Add existing technical reports if such work was carried out later. Identify missing components and who is likely to be able to supply supplementary documents. If an area with suspected ordnance is to be investigated, mark its boundary and investigation question on the site plan.
Clearly describe the current construction task
Send the plan of the proposed ground interventions with their depths. Mark new areas or changes from the earlier version. State which specific decision is still needed and when the relevant groundworks are intended to start, so that further clarification can be aligned with them.
Add the project address and land parcels, current project status and existing official conditions. For service installation or drilling, alignments and starting points are assigned on the plan. Provide as-built plans and service plans with their date and elevation reference. Describe the decision needed with the report or plan version relevant to it.

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.
