Technical map of the administrative district of Düsseldorf, marking Düsseldorf as a location for ordnance investigation and surveying by FONTANA-EOD

Explosive ordnance surveying in Dinslaken

An area may appear readily accessible on a plan yet be restricted on site by utilities, installations or terrain differences. These conditions must be known before a necessary explosive ordnance investigation in Dinslaken begins. FONTANA-EOD supports technical coordination of the investigation scope and the preparation it requires.

Access

Record the working area and existing obstacles.

Utilities

Clarify as-built information and responsibilities.

Preliminary work

Plan interventions only after technical coordination.

Assess the construction project

Consider access and technical investigability separately

An accessible area may still have restricted measurement conditions. For your project in Dinslaken, we connect the planned interventions with the known site condition and existing reports. Necessary preparations and outstanding technical questions are agreed before the affected activity.

Compare Dinslaken planning guidance with your own area

The explanation for development plan 339 names the Fachdienst Allgemeine Ordnung, Gewerbe, Verkehr and the Düsseldorf district government in connection with statements from 2021. These findings concern the planning case described. For your present-day project, its own documents and actual conditions are coordinated with the local regulatory authority and specialist planners.

The overview of the Düsseldorf administrative district provides further local information for the regional context of your construction project.

Local context

Being able to investigate is different from being able to enter

Limit Dinslaken planning guidance to its specific case

The explanation for Dinslaken development plan 339, an appendix to decision proposal 1838/2025, also addresses investigation requirements in section 4.9. Statements from 2021 reproduced there discuss access, utilities and terrain changes. These findings concern the planning area described; they are not a general finding of ordnance contamination or work instruction for other properties.

Describe the actual condition for specialist planning

For your project, clarify which conditions exist at the actual investigation location. Clear access does not establish whether measurements can be assessed. Similarly, a visible fence does not automatically indicate which areas can be investigated or how. The specific investigation purpose and technically assessed conditions are decisive.

Compare historical streets with present-day construction areas

A bombing raid on 23 March 1945 struck Dinslaken. Neustraße had different names over its history. Present-day groundworks require precise identification of historical addresses and areas. A description of damage to one building does not replace evidence for neighbouring properties or a working area altered later.

Existing assessments are compared with their corresponding maps and the actual construction project. A development plan contains requirements for its area of application and a particular state of knowledge at a point in time. Whether this information fits current works is clarified using their own area, depth and construction method. Further steps receive the necessary technical and official coordination.

Investigation task

Which specialist task comes next?

Assess the investigation objective and interference together

Method suitability depends on the findings needed and local conditions. A clear surface alone is therefore not a complete basis for a decision. Known installations and possible limitations are considered. The plan describes which areas are actually to be addressed and with which question.

Assess historical documents

Coordinate preparatory works before carrying them out

Necessary changes are assessed according to their task and possible ground intervention. The sequence is clarified with the responsible participants. General information on area preparation does not create independent permission for groundworks. The respective legal requirements in NRW are also checked before agreeing a private supplementary activity.

Compare investigation methods
Project types

Prepare a reliable description of the working area

Bring the visible condition and documents together

Current photographs can explain access, the surface or visible installations. Supplement them with location references and available as-built information. Unknown ground conditions are not inferred from a photograph. Differences between the plan and visible condition are explicitly recorded and clarified before a decision is based on them.

Specialist services and investigation tasks
Illustration: two people review plans and documents at a table beside a construction vehicle.

Describe time availability to match the task

An area may be accessible yet available only during certain periods. Identify its use, access restrictions and responsible contacts. Preparation considers these conditions together with the technical task. An agreed appointment is not treated as confirmation that all areas needed are actually available and investigable.

Coordinate the sequence and tasks
Illustration: two people review plans and documents at a table beside a construction vehicle.

Keep unknown information open

Undocumented utility routes, elevations or installations are identified as unresolved. Describe the provenance and accuracy of the available information. Further enquiries are agreed with the participants. Specialist planners thereby receive a traceable starting status and need not infer missing information from general descriptions or photographs.

Document findings and their limitations
Working together

Distinguish the tasks of client, designers and specialist contractor

Client and operator

The client describes the project and provides the existing project documents. The operator adds the requirements for use, access and timing. A coordinating contact agrees the assigned tasks with those responsible. Before commissioning, a clear record is made of which information is missing, who will obtain it and which decision the results are intended to inform.

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 investigation and documentation scope. Official requirements and decisions are clarified with the competent authorities concerned. The documents needed for a particular procedure depend on the location and project. The technical report describes the specialist service performed; its conclusions are not presented unchecked as general authorisation for further groundworks or as an authority's decision.

Preparation

Prepare the scope and commission together

Whether an investigation task may be commissioned privately depends on the specific North Rhine-Westphalia procedure and applicable legal conditions. The permissible activity is clarified before an agreement.

Establish what needs to be known before commissioning the work

For the Dinslaken commission, describe the findings needed for the planned groundworks and known site conditions. An accessible area does not automatically permit unrestricted measurement. Provide existing reports, utility information and details of installations or terrain differences. This helps determine whether documents must first be interpreted, a particular ground volume investigated or previously assessed findings addressed. Specialist works and results needed are connected with accessible areas and outstanding requirements. Merely stating that access is clear does not yet determine the scope.

Define the specialist task

Coordinate preparatory work with the investigation

Before the appointment, access, actual measurement areas and conditions needed for the chosen method are clarified separately. An existing utility or fence is included in technical assessment with its position; this does not automatically imply that investigation is impossible. Necessary preparatory works and coordination with other trades are described specifically. Surface changes or additional ground interventions to provide access are technically agreed beforehand with the responsible participants. They are not undertaken on personal initiative as incidental measurement preparation.

Clarify preparatory work in the programme

Agree a clear scope and schedule

The commission records which areas are to be addressed under the known conditions and which requirements remain outstanding. A partly accessible measurement area is considered in the scope from the outset. Effort and dates are agreed with access, documents and necessary coordination; assessment and results handover belong in the process. If conditions change between planning and the appointment, specialist planners are informed. Site management can then distinguish access provided, an investigation actually performed and findings still needed for the next activity.

Discuss the scope and schedule

When a statement belongs to a particular plan

Dinslaken’s explanation for development plan 339 reproduces statements from June 2021 and a corresponding map. The guidance remains tied to that planning case and the knowledge available then. Another project needs its own plans and documents that actually apply. Existing official communications and technical reports are compiled in full with their appendices. The documents should show which question has already been addressed and which findings are still needed. Missing information is identified specifically before the next commission. Further action follows the actual requirement and authorities responsible for it.

Before tendering further specialist work

Identify the area, depth, construction method and result required. Include existing analyses, official requirements and complete specialist reports. Providers need traceable plan revisions and known limitations so that scopes can be compared. State duties and permissible private additions remain separate. Also clarify access and responsibility for necessary preparatory work. A general equipment name describes neither the specific investigation task nor the legally permissible commission. Changes are passed to all affected parties before the work.

Before additional investigation points and deep ground interventions

Describe the proposed points or structures with their location and depth reference. A geotechnical investigation answers a different question from the specialist ordnance investigation needed beforehand. Existing results are compared with the actual groundworks. The limited North Rhine-Westphalia conditions apply to privately commissioned safety detection. Neither the wish for an early appointment nor a previous investigation of neighbouring areas replaces this clarification. The agreed scope and results documents required must be traceable for further planning.

When plans or the stage of work change

When excavation support, foundations or the excavation change, compare the current design with the project’s own results documents. Requirements from a particular planning procedure are not extended unchecked to all properties in Dinslaken. Pass the current plan version and complete reports to the affected participants. Specialist planners determine which findings remain applicable and which additional task is outstanding. A change does not imply blanket repetition of all work; the next step relates to the area actually affected. Necessary official coordination is tracked before the relevant groundworks begin.

Tasks at the site

Describe the condition of the area beforehand

01

Access and use

Describe how the area is reached and whether it will remain in use during investigation. Mark areas that must not be entered or are available only temporarily. This raises coordination questions for execution but does not yet provide evidence that the ground can be investigated.

02

Utilities and installations

Compile available as-built information and identify its provenance. Unknown alignments remain recorded as unresolved. Any further enquiries needed and who carries them out are agreed separately. An explosive ordnance investigation does not replace utility information, and utility information does not replace an explosive ordnance assessment.

03

Elevations and fill

If documents indicate changed ground levels or fill, pass this information on with its respective reference. Investigation planning must distinguish known elevations from those merely assumed. Do not infer independent excavation works from them; the necessary sequence must first be clarified technically.

04

Proposed construction works

Connect the area description with the current construction design. Foundations, chambers or excavation support may extend beyond the working area initially assumed. State the areas and depths actually needed so that consideration is not limited to a conveniently accessible subarea.

05

Bring together suspected ordnance, the construction task and the next commission

Assessment of a suspected explosive ordnance area in Dinslaken starts with existing indications and the groundworks actually planned. For foundations with plan-specific indications and subsequent execution changes, position, depth and current findings are considered together. Statements and maps from a particular planning procedure are used with their dates and spatial scope. A historical indication, technical result and official assessment may answer different questions. The next step is determined from the findings still missing. State explosive ordnance assessment and permissible private supplementary tasks are distinguished using the local procedural status. A private commission neither extends the permitted activity nor replaces the tasks of the responsible authorities. Additional documents are obtained specifically rather than deriving complete findings from an unclear summary.

06

Compare surface investigation with depth of groundworks

A surface survey is assessed according to its investigation objective and the conditions actually covered. Utilities, reinforcement, surfacing and other interfering objects can affect the findings. Measurement at the surface does not automatically substantiate the entire ground volume for deeper construction work. A state-arranged area investigation remains separate from a permissible supplementary private task. The specific procedure is clarified before commissioning. Complete reports with their results areas, depths and limitations are required. Construction plans are compared with them. Where information is missing or the new groundworks extend beyond it, the specific specialist question still needs clarification before groundworks.

07

Assign borehole positions and safety detection on specialist grounds

For a proposed deep-ground survey or downhole detection, the findings required, location and depth of the points, and existing findings are described. A geotechnical borehole has a different investigation purpose. Within the North Rhine-Westphalia framework, private downhole detection is considered only under the specified prerequisites and with a limited scope of activity. It does not establish a general private entitlement to clear ordnance. Handling specific indications of ordnance contamination is clarified through the competent authorities. If a point is relocated or the depth changes, the changed scope is compared before the work. The report shows which positions were actually investigated and what findings are possible under the documented conditions. A method name alone does not describe this scope.

08

Prepare ordnance specialist supervision of excavation for its specific task

A specialist excavation supervision service is considered in terms of its actual task and applicable requirements. It is not a blanket substitute for a necessary prior investigation. For the project in Dinslaken, working areas, construction sequence and remaining limitations are described. Which supervision is technically and legally possible is justified and agreed before the affected works. Site management, the contractor and specialist personnel need clear responsibilities and reporting channels. If a change occurs, check whether the agreed task still matches the intervention. Documentation records the scope actually supervised.

09

Clarify the clearance objective and later use of the evidence

For explosive ordnance assessment before a construction project in Dinslaken, agree which findings are needed before the next intervention. An area clearance operation concerns a defined area and a specific clearance objective; any further measures required are clarified through the relevant official procedure. A survey report or clearance record documents the task actually carried out and its limitations. Site management needs the complete plan attachments and appropriate plan revision. New areas, different depths or remaining interference are considered before further use. A commission described generally as complete does not extend the documented findings.

Project documents

Documents that establish the next step

Distinguish prerequisites from results

Providing access or permission to enter initially enables a work step. Which findings were actually achieved follows from the investigation performed. Record this information separately. Site management should be able to identify which prerequisite has been fulfilled and which area was technically addressed with which result.

Document deviations with their spatial extent

If conditions differ from those expected, relate them to the affected area. The report records how this affected the investigation and its findings. A neighbouring area addressed as planned does not conceal that limitation. The remaining clarification requirement for further construction is derived specifically from the documentation. Following clearance work, the project file also contains the clearance record with areas treated, clearance scope and results and a reference to the corresponding site plan.

Construction sequence

Coordinate investigation and construction sections

Compare initial conditions before the appointment

Check whether the information supplied still matches actual conditions. New use, additional installations or closed areas are communicated. A responsible contact is assigned to outstanding prerequisites. The technical task is coordinated with this status before an appointment is considered feasible.

Clarify the next step when conditions change

The deviation is recorded with its location and effects. Further work follows the technical question affected and available options. Later participants receive the updated sequence and documented limitations. A change is not treated as technically resolved merely by moving the date.

Method selection

Select methods according to the task and survey conditions

Historical records and aerial photographs

Historical aerial photograph analysis and other earlier records help establish the spatial context of grounds for suspicion. Former street names, area boundaries and available images are connected with today’s construction area. The images’ information value and limits determine the historical findings. The absence of a visible indication is not a present-day subsurface measurement. Historical assessment is considered together with other findings and proposed interventions. It supports investigation planning but does not alone answer which measurement conditions actually exist at today’s accessible site.

Understand aerial photograph assessment

Magnetometric survey

Magnetic methods detect magnetic anomalies. Fences, utilities and existing structures may influence assessment even where access is good. Suitability is assessed for the expected objects, ground conditions and required investigation area. A signal does not identify explosive ordnance by its strength alone. Measurement, assessment and necessary further clarification are planned as a connected specialist task. Documented conditions show which findings were achieved under the area’s actual condition and where limitations remain.

Understand the scope of magnetometry

Electromagnetic methods

Electromagnetic investigations may suit certain metallic target objects and site conditions. Selection considers accessible measurement areas, interfering installations and the findings required. Clear access or instrument availability is not sufficient technical justification. Results receive location references and information on the actual investigation conditions. Whether a supplementary method is necessary follows from the assessment. Accessible and assessable areas are kept recognisably distinct for further construction planning.

Understand electromagnetic surveying

Ground-penetrating radar

Under suitable conditions, ground-penetrating radar can provide information on subsurface structures and reflections. Ground conditions, moisture and installations affect assessability independently of whether the area can be entered. A reflection is not automatically explosive ordnance; an unremarkable area does not confirm any arbitrary depth. Specialist interpretation and limitations are documented with the commission. Existing radar documents prepared for other purposes are checked for their objective and the area actually investigated before use as evidence concerning explosive ordnance.

GPR and limitations

Deep-ground and downhole surveys

For deeper interventions, it may be necessary to check whether investigation from the surface provides the findings needed or whether another approach is required. Planning connects position, depth, borehole arrangement and known utilities with actual access conditions. Provision of suitable investigation access is also prepared on technical grounds. A clear area does not establish a general grid. A blanket depth figure does not replace planning. Results remain tied to the areas actually addressed and the method used.

Prepare deep interventions

Survey during construction

If a necessary prior investigation cannot be carried out in full, assess whether a technically planned approach during construction is suitable. Investigation, assessment and communication of findings are related to the specific conditions and construction works. Mere visual observation of excavation does not replace a necessary survey. Site management needs the relationship of specialist works and unresolved areas to the work sequence. Missing measurement access is treated as a specific prerequisite; further work is technically agreed before the relevant groundworks.

Agree the approach during construction
Technical assessment

Coordinate preparation and measurement

Compare documents on site

The historical aerial photograph analysis and earlier reports are considered together with the current area description. It remains clear what each indication relates to. A result for a neighbouring area does not automatically answer the question of investigating your planned intervention area.

Assess measurement obstacles

Whether and how a survey under existing installations is possible depends on the method and investigation objective. Interference requires technical assessment. A measurement gap must not disappear from the report merely because other parts of the area were readily assessable.

Record preparatory works in the sequence

In the clearance plan, necessary preparatory works and investigation steps are coordinated. It must be established who initiates each task. A difficult measurement situation does not automatically justify explosive ordnance clearance during construction; mere visual inspection during excavation does not replace a proper investigation.

Next steps

From an area description to an agreed sequence

01

Describe the project and first groundworks

Initial coordination needs the exact project location, a current site plan and the work proposed first. State which findings planning needs and by when. Known missing documents or areas not yet accessible already belong in this enquiry.

02

Assign documents to the present-day project

Existing reports, plan attachments and official letters are compared with the actual areas and depths. It remains distinguishable whether an analysis, recommendation or investigation carried out is available. The respective plan revision and identifiable limitations are also recorded for further use.

Compile current plans, available elevation information and descriptions of installations. Photographs can supplement the visible condition but do not establish ground conditions. Record outstanding questions explicitly rather than replacing missing information with assumptions.

03

Supplement historical research and aerial imagery where needed

Where a historical question remains outstanding, the need for further research or wartime aerial imagery analysis is clarified. Existing findings are taken into account. The analysis receives a defined spatial reference and a traceable question. A local historical event alone does not determine which investigation the property needs. Required historical research or aerial imagery analysis is carried out through the appropriate specialist or official procedure. The findings are assigned to the current project area and further investigation planning.

04

Select the method according to the findings required

Depth of groundworks, ground conditions, utilities, installations and accessibility determine specialist preparation. Different areas may require different tasks. The selected investigation scope should answer the outstanding question and identify its limitations. Prerequisites for carrying out the work are agreed in advance with planning, site management and, where applicable, the operator.

Use the project and existing findings to clarify which result is needed. The scope is not inferred solely from the property’s total size. What matters is which areas and depths the planned works actually affect.

05

Coordinate surveying or supervision with the programme

The proposed specialist work is incorporated into the sequence and available construction phases. Protective measures, access and contacts must fit the actual work. If conditions change, suitability of the approach is reassessed. Any supervision required is agreed with its purpose and does not replace other preliminary investigation as a blanket measure. Within the agreed and permissible scope, specialist personnel investigate the defined areas or points using a suitable method. The data collected are recorded with location, depth reference and site conditions.

06

Assess results and anomalies on specialist grounds

Measurement data are assessed in the context of the method, site conditions and investigation objective. A measurement anomaly is not automatically identified ordnance. Areas that cannot be investigated and further clarification needs remain identifiable. If a suspicious object is found, the prescribed reporting routes and measures of the competent authorities are observed.

Discuss with the responsible participants which preparation is necessary and under which conditions it is possible. Ground-altering works must not be brought forward unchecked. Identify the respective responsible contacts and responses still needed before the next step.

07

Hand over results with location and depth references

The report and associated plans document the work actually carried out and significant limitations. The documents needed are handed over together to the parties agreed. An isolated results line does not replace this context. The project record must make it possible to trace which areas, depths and planning evidence a finding relates to.

08

Compare the next groundworks with the results

Before subsequent work, it is checked whether its location, depth and conditions are covered by the results. Additional construction phases, relocated connections or changed structures are considered separately. Outstanding points receive a specific next step. The decision is recorded clearly with the plan revision used and those responsible.

If conditions during execution differ from those assumed, record them for the affected area. The subsequent approach must be adjusted accordingly. A changed sequence and limited results must remain traceable for site management later.

Documentation

Measurement gaps and changed conditions belong in the report

Findings and their scope

The documentation describes which area was investigated under which conditions and which questions remain open. These may include inaccessible areas, interference or deviations from the prepared condition. For a later construction phase, it must be clear whether its working area was actually covered. A site walkover or area preparation alone does not establish freedom from explosive ordnance.

Project responsibilities

The BFR Kampfmittelräumung apply directly to federal properties and contain technical principles for planning and documentation. In North Rhine-Westphalia, local official requirements must also be observed. The commission to FONTANA-EOD describes the agreed specialist service; hazard prevention remains the task of the responsible regulatory authority with support from the state service.

Working approach

How FONTANA-EOD works

Document the agreed specialist service clearly

FONTANA-EOD connects the agreed investigation task with the actual condition of the construction area in Dinslaken. Accessible areas, technical conditions and results needed are agreed before execution. If terrain, access, installations or plans change, the scope is reviewed accordingly before the affected works. The report documents the work actually performed with its limitations. Site management can identify the findings available for the next activity and clarifications still needed. Clear access remains distinguishable from a fully investigated ground volume.

Discuss the investigation task

The task before the equipment

Method selection starts with the findings needed and conditions actually present for obtaining them. Accessibility is part of preparation but not the sole justification for the method. Specialist planning considers ground conditions, expected objects and interference. An available instrument or a similar-looking neighbouring area is not a sufficient selection basis on its own. Planned preparatory works are connected with that specific technical task.

Keep limitations visible

Inaccessible measurement areas and areas that cannot be assessed are identified with their locations and respective reasons. Site management can then distinguish missing access from locations requiring different technical clarification. A general total area figure is supplemented by these boundaries. Planning and execution agree when and under which conditions a suitable investigation is possible. Describing an obstacle does not replace technical assessment of its actual effect on investigation.

Clarify changes before intervening in the ground

If the surface changes, an installation is removed or construction plans expand, compare the new condition with existing results before the affected works. Specialist planners receive a clear description of the change from the previous status. Their response and necessary supplementary work are related to the affected ground volume. The same project name or access now clear does not in itself confirm an unchanged investigation task.

Hand over the report and plan together

The report and plan appendices are handed over in full with actual location references and limitations. A brief overview may point to findings and outstanding requirements important for the next works. It does not replace the documented investigation scope. If site management or contractors change, measurement conditions and result limitations remain identifiable. Further planning can then establish which findings were achieved under which site condition and what must still be clarified before the next activity.

Understand the results

Use technical statements for the next decision

A visible obstacle does not establish everything about measurement

Its effect depends on the method, position and question to be answered. Describe identifiable obstacles without independently deriving an investigation scope. Technical assessment also considers the existing documents. A simplified classification based only on appearance cannot replace the findings actually achievable.

Understand investigation reports and their limitations

A measurement gap remains a separate part of the result

If an area could not be assessed, or only to a limited extent, this belongs in the documentation. The spatial boundary and reason remain identifiable. Further planning examines that unresolved area using the proposed interventions. Good results from other areas do not automatically extend its findings.

Questions from planning

Questions about preparing an investigation area

Does guidance from a Dinslaken development plan apply everywhere?

No. The explanation for development plan 339 mentioned here contains findings concerning that planning area and reproduces statements from 2021. Other properties are governed by their own documents, interventions and responsible authorities.

Is an area that can be walked over sufficient for a survey?

Not necessarily. Walkover access and measurement conditions are different questions. Installations, utilities or other interference may affect investigation. Suitability of the proposed method must be assessed against the specific investigation objective.

Should I have fill removed before investigation?

First have the necessary sequence clarified on technical grounds and with the responsible participants. Removing fill also changes the ground. Information from another plan or an assumed former ground level is not a sufficient basis for independently initiated works.

What happens if part of the area cannot be investigated?

The area concerned and reason are documented. Additional steps needed depend on the planned use and specific interventions. The report must not present the restricted area as a completed investigation area.

What should I do if a suspicious object is found?

Stop the affected works, leave the object untouched and move away. Keep other people away and notify the police immediately on 110. Follow the instructions of the responsible emergency services.

How can current photographs help with preparation?

They explain visible conditions such as access, the surface or installations. They supplement site plans and as-built information but do not establish unknown ground conditions.

Which changes before the appointment must be communicated?

Any change affecting access, the working area or investigation conditions. State the precise location and current condition so that further preparation can relate to them.

What do unclear elevation or utility details mean for scope and costs?

Their provenance and uncertainty are made identifiable. Necessary further enquiries and responsibilities are agreed separately. Effort depends on the area, intervention depth, accessibility, suitable methods, interference and usable earlier findings. The necessary scope of preparation, investigation, assessment and documentation is agreed before commissioning.

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.
