The quickest route to the right decision.
Prepare an explosive ordnance survey in Dormagen
An investigation is proposed, but access to the property and existing utilities are not yet clarified. These points need to be addressed before the appointment. FONTANA-EOD supports you in specialist preparation of ordnance investigations in Dormagen and assignment of existing documents to the area commissioned.
Clarify permission for the areas affected.
Bring together available information and outstanding questions.
Describe the area and construction task clearly in the commission.
Assess the construction project
Prepare an investigation with clear area and access details
For your Dormagen project, the analysis, application area and actual access options are considered together. Information on ownership, utilities and existing obstacles must be traceable. We help describe the specialist task and its prerequisites clearly before further coordination.
Project site
Connect the site with the specific construction task
Coordinate Dormagen applications through the public order office
Dormagen is in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss district, within the Düsseldorf administrative district. The current Dormagen portal identifies the public order office as the local point of contact and the explosive ordnance disposal service of the Düsseldorf District Government as the specialist partner. It distinguishes aerial imagery analysis from the separate application for any investigation required on site. Existing responses and the specific groundworks are assigned to this stage of the procedure.
Local context
Assign historical findings to the present-day construction area
The town of Dormagen documents bomb damage in Schulstraße in Stürzelberg in 1943. The events described there are assigned to their historical location. For a present-day construction area, available sources are compared with the proposed groundworks. The archive of the Rhein-Kreis Neuss district holds Dormagen administrative records, maps, plans and photographs, among other material. Which holdings are needed for the specific question follows from specialist research and their spatial relationship to the project.
Assign Dormagen declarations on the area and access correctly
For preparation, Dormagen provides an access permission form with a declaration that the area is free of utilities. The form distinguishes the applicant from the property owner where they are not the same person. It also connects the area with the aerial imagery analysis file reference. This information should be available together before an investigation appointment is agreed.
Bring together the investigation application and actual preparation
The permission in the municipal form is addressed to the explosive ordnance disposal service of the Düsseldorf District Government and companies commissioned by that service. It is not general permission for arbitrary earthworks of your own. For a separate specialist commission, tasks, access and legal prerequisites must therefore be clarified explicitly. The public order office is the local point of contact for the procedure.
Investigation task
Which specialist task comes next?
Derive the need from the analysis and construction task
The complete analysis is compared with the location, depth and type of proposed groundworks. This identifies the specific question for a further investigation. The decision also considers site conditions. A particular investigation type is not selected simply because a form exists for it.
Assess historical documentsClarify legal scope and preparation in advance
The state procedure through the local public order authority remains distinguishable from a supplementary private specialist service. Before an agreement, the North Rhine-Westphalia conditions for the specific activity are checked. Access and utility information form part of preparation. A general permission to enter replaces neither specialist requirements nor necessary official coordination.
Compare investigation methodsProject types
Record investigation prerequisites clearly
Assign the application and ownership unambiguously
The person organising the project is not always the property owner. Record those involved and their tasks. Declarations are assigned to the affected area. Before further appointment planning, it must be clear which consent is available and what clarification is still needed.
Coordinate the sequence and tasksPass on utility information with its revision status
Existing plans are provided in full with their source identified. Unknown routes remain identifiable as an outstanding question. The absence of a line on a plan is not automatically treated as evidence that no utilities are present. The information is compared with the proposed investigation area so that necessary additions reach those responsible in time. Alongside utilities, the municipal form also records areas of suspected archaeological interest. If information or plans are available, they are included as separate evidence and passed to those responsible for coordination. Their content retains its respective specialist purpose. Known gaps are identified explicitly rather than signing an unsubstantiated declaration.
Document findings and their limitations
Describe actual access
Identify access routes, entry points and known restrictions in the affected area. Usability may differ from what a site plan shows. Planned changes are identified and agreed before the work. A general description of the property does not replace assessment of the prerequisites for the specific activity agreed.
Specialist services and investigation tasksRequirements
Clarify technical requirements and responsibilities within the project
Relate requirements to the specialist task
For commissioned activities, the applicable specialist requirements and questions of permits, qualifications and responsibilities are clarified. The scope of services actually proposed is decisive. The qualifications and responsibilities required are assigned to the specific tasks and interfaces.
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.
Procedure at the site: Town of Dormagen: have the ground checked for ordnance · Town of Dormagen: permission to enter and declaration of freedom from utilities.
Planning and documentation: BFR KMR: principles of clearance planning · BFR KMR: geophysics · BFR KMR: documentation · North Rhine-Westphalia Ministry of the Interior: explosive legacy
The BFR Kampfmittelräumung apply directly to the federal properties specified in them and serve here as specialist guidance for planning and documentation. Local requirements and responsibilities are clarified for the respective Dormagen project.
The permit, qualifications 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 addresses preventive investigation and clearance of conventional explosive ordnance and defines its scope. The references it explains to DGUV Regel 113-003 concern specific activities involving explosives; they are not applied indiscriminately to every construction investigation.
For private activities in North Rhine-Westphalia, the specific requirements of the exceptions under the KampfmittelVO and the official guidance must be observed. Technical suitability alone does not establish that a private commission is permissible. The information held by the authorities and the authorisations required for the activity are checked before an agreement is made.
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
Specialist planning describes areas, depths, construction methods and changes. Site management coordinates the proposed sequence with contractors and the agreed specialist work. Results are assigned to the respective groundworks. A technical change to the plans is communicated early enough for its effect on the investigation task to be assessed before construction. Organisational construction phase boundaries remain distinguishable from specialist investigation boundaries. Also show working areas beside an excavation, laterally shifted service connections and individual borehole positions on the plans. One project address may include several spatially separate ground interventions. Those involved identify which are already adequately described and where location or depth still needs definition.
Specialist company and competent bodies
The private specialist ordnance contractor carries out the agreed investigation and documentation scope. Official requirements and decisions are clarified with the respective competent authorities. Which documents a specific procedure requires depends on the site and project. The technical report assigns the specialist service carried out and its findings to the proposed groundworks. Official decisions and further specialist assessments required are handled within the respective areas of responsibility.
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 Dormagen commission, the status of the aerial imagery analysis, application for on-site investigation and specialist task actually commissioned are brought together. Identify the area, planned groundworks and findings still needed. Existing documents may first need assessment, a particular ground area and volume may need investigation, or findings already assessed may need further work. Access and utility information are clearly assigned to this task. The municipal form is used in line with its stated recipients. For a separately agreed specialist service, scope, prerequisites and results documents are clarified explicitly.
Define the specialist taskCoordinate preparatory work with the investigation
Before the appointment, the affected areas, ownership context and access authorisation required for each investigation are clarified. The information is linked with the file reference and relevant analysis. Missing utility information and outstanding access questions are professionally coordinated in advance. The preparatory work actually needed depends on the method and site. Additional breaking of the surface or other groundworks to provide survey access are prepared with those responsible and are not undertaken independently. Permission to enter is used according to its actual purpose and stated recipients.
Clarify preparatory work in the programmeAgree a clear scope and schedule
The commission describes which area is to be investigated under which known conditions. Areas that are only partly accessible and information still missing are taken into account in the scope. Effort and timing depend on actual access, documents and coordination; assessment and handover of results form part of the process. An existing analysis file reference does not establish a completed investigation status. Before the appointment, the declarations and prerequisites available for the specialist work concerned are clearly brought together. Changes to the area or plans are compared with the agreed commission.
Discuss the scope and scheduleTasks at the site
What should be available before the investigation appointment
01
Properties affected
Identify the investigation areas actually needed. If an access route belongs to another property, state this too. Permission for the building plot does not automatically establish how access across other areas can be arranged. Identify the contacts responsible. Where several properties are involved, specify the parts of each affected. An investigation may use different access routes from later construction. Explain which areas need to be reached and which coordination has already taken place. Outstanding consents are assigned to the area actually affected.
02
Current utility information
Bring together existing utility information and plans with their issue status. Missing details remain identified as an outstanding question. A plan without a utility drawn on it is not in itself evidence of its absence. Any addition or clarification required on site is agreed on specialist grounds. State which authority or party issued the information and which area it covers. Several utility plans may concern different installations or stages of work. New information is passed on with its explanations. Investigation preparation considers both known routes and areas still unresolved; this determines the further coordination needed.
03
Previous correspondence
Include the aerial imagery analysis and associated official notifications. Retain the file reference unchanged and identify the area to which the investigation step applied for relates. This distinguishes documents from several procedures even if they cite the same address. If a letter refers to an older plan attachment, include it in the comparison. After a change in property subdivision, the earlier area designation and current address may differ. A clear comparison helps locate the area actually addressed and identify additional areas as a separate question.
04
Planned groundworks
Describe the excavation, foundations, utility trenches or other proposed ground interventions with their location and depth. Also state if the construction method is not yet decided. The investigation is planned for a particular task; an unresolved construction scope should not be replaced by assumptions. Distinguish the planned use from the groundworks actually required for it. For a building, for example, foundations, drainage and lateral working areas may be relevant. For a utility, the route, connection points and any individual deeper interventions are also relevant. Specialist planning incorporates the confirmed details into the investigation task.
05
Installations and interference
Utilities, reinforced structures or metallic interfering objects can affect measurement and interpretation depending on the method used. Specialist planning considers these conditions during method selection. Ground conditions and possible deposited fill are also assessed for the specific task. The report identifies the findings actually achieved and their limitations; any additions required are agreed before further groundworks.
06
Suspected ordnance in part of the site
If a specific indication of ordnance contamination exists for part of the site, it is brought into coordination with the public order office and explosive ordnance disposal service together with its source and spatial reference. Groundworks planning and the investigation task are related to it. The competent authorities clarify the further procedure; the project record distinguishes the results available from the tasks still outstanding.
07
No access to parts of the site
An area beneath a structure still present or within an inaccessible area is marked on the plan with its boundary. Those involved clarify when and under which conditions a suitable investigation will become possible there. Results for the ground area and volume already investigated are documented with their scope. The next construction decision considers the part of the site still unresolved.
Project documents
Documents that establish the next step
Keep declarations separate from investigation results
Consent to enter or utility information documents a prerequisite. The specialist report, by contrast, describes the investigation actually carried out and its limitations. Both documents are retained in the record. An existing declaration does not establish an investigation or clearance status already achieved. The Dormagen form provides separately for the property owner's declaration and the applicant's confirmation. Retain the signed version with its reference to the area applied for. If the investigation area changes later, it is clarified whether existing details and consents still match the proposed scope.
Document differences during the work
If access, usable area or known obstacles change, the effect on the agreed scope is recorded. Areas not yet investigated remain identifiable. The subsequent report must reflect the service actually carried out. After clearance work has been carried out, the clearance record, including its scope, results and remaining limitations, is assigned to the area actually treated and the associated plan revision. Construction planning can then clarify specifically which findings are still missing for a further work step. Keep the earlier and new plan revisions available for such a change. A lateral shift may affect different parts of the property, while greater depth may affect a ground volume not previously investigated. The specialist response is assigned to this specific difference and passed to planning and site management before the work affected by it.
Construction sequence
Coordinate investigation and construction sections
Organise related documents before the appointment
Bring the analysis, file reference, current area plans and existing declarations together into a traceable record. Check whether all documents concern the same area. Missing details are identified in time. The subsequent process is agreed according to actual prerequisites, rather than derived solely from the desired investigation date.
Identify the scope investigated at handover
Record the investigation carried out and any remaining limitations. Results are assigned to the construction phases affected. A later extension of the area is considered separately. Site management then receives a clear connection between the planned groundworks, area investigated and clarification still needed.
Method selection
Select methods according to the task and survey conditions
Historical records and aerial photographs
Historical aerial imagery analysis and other older documents help to place the basis for suspected ordnance in its spatial context. Results are carried into further planning with their file reference, the information value of the imagery used and the area boundaries considered. The absence of a visible indication is not a technical investigation of the ground as it is today. For the proposed on-site appointment, it is checked whether the identified area and actual groundworks match the relevant analysis. Other existing findings are included. Historical assessment and the documented status of the present-day investigation remain distinguishable.
Understand aerial photograph assessmentMagnetometric survey
Magnetometric methods detect magnetic anomalies. Suitability is assessed for expected objects, ground conditions and the investigation area required. Utilities, fences and existing structures can influence interpretation. These actual conditions are assigned to the agreed survey area. An access declaration alone does not establish specialist interpretability. Signal strength does not identify an object as ordnance. Measurement, assessment and any further investigation required are documented as a connected task with the findings actually achieved.
Understand the scope of magnetometryElectromagnetic methods
Electromagnetic investigations may be suitable for certain metallic target objects and site conditions. Selection considers accessible survey areas, interfering installations and the information required; equipment availability alone is insufficient. Existing utility information is included in preparation with its spatial reference. Results include their location and the actual investigation conditions. Any supplementary method required follows from specialist assessment. The report shows which ground area and volume were actually investigated, irrespective of the application area's name alone.
Understand electromagnetic surveyingGround-penetrating radar
Under suitable conditions, ground-penetrating radar can provide information on subsurface structures and reflections. Ground conditions, moisture and installations affect interpretability. A reflection is not automatically ordnance; an unremarkable area does not confirm conditions at any arbitrary depth. Specialist interpretation and limitations are documented with the commission. Before a radar plan for utility detection is used as ordnance evidence, its purpose and scope are checked. Existing utility documents, access declarations and a technical investigation result retain their different functions.
GPR and limitationsDeep-ground and downhole surveys
For deeper groundworks, it may be necessary to check whether investigation from the surface can provide the information required or whether another approach is needed. Positions, depths, borehole layout and existing utilities then form part of preparation. The provision of suitable investigation access is professionally planned and coordinated with authorisations for the areas affected. A standard grid or general depth figure does not replace this task. Results remain tied to the ground areas and volumes actually investigated and the method used. A file reference alone does not describe this scope.
Prepare deep interventionsSurvey during construction
If a necessary advance investigation cannot be completed in full, it is assessed whether a professionally planned approach during construction is suitable and permissible. Investigation, interpretation and communication of findings are linked to the proposed work sequence. Visual observation of excavated material alone does not replace a necessary ordnance survey. Site management receives an allocation of specialist work and unresolved areas to the activities. Access and further prerequisites are explicitly clarified for the task actually commissioned. The municipal form is assessed according to its stated purpose and recipients.
Agree the approach during constructionTechnical assessment
Preparation follows the investigation task
Assess the findings
A historical aerial photograph analysis belongs in the document set with its map and complete text. It and other findings raise questions for the specific project. The existing stage of work must be considered before an additional specialist service is described or offered.
Discuss measurement conditions
When planning a survey accessibility and possible influences from utilities, installations or surfacing must be considered. This may create clarification needs; a blanket statement on measurability is impossible without knowledge of the area. Methods and limitations are defined on specialist grounds. A utility route at the property boundary or a metallic installation beside the work area may also be important for specialist planning. Pass on known conditions with their location. The influences that need consideration for the proposed method are assessed according to the specific investigation conditions.
Agree preparatory work
The clearance plan can record the preparations required and sequence of work. It must not be used to derive independent instructions for stripping or excavating an unresolved area. A proposed investigation appointment also does not justify groundworks outside the measures agreed.
Next steps
Coordinate the investigation with access and the programme
The specialist work required depends on the project and existing findings. Those involved agree the steps needed and their sequence for the respective construction phase.
Check the enquiry and documents
Compare the official response with the current design. If an on-site investigation is proposed, a separate application is made through the public order office in Dormagen. Clarify which area and construction work the application actually covers.
Obtain the information
Bring together ownership and access questions, utility information and known obstacles. The municipal form also asks about areas of suspected archaeological interest. This information is passed on without independently deriving findings about ordnance or the permissibility of earthworks from it.
Review historical evidence
Existing historical analyses are read to establish which areas, periods and sources they cover. Any supplementary research or aerial imagery analysis required is agreed with its specific question. Official aerial imagery analysis is initiated through the public order office. The documents needed are researched and suitable imagery is professionally analysed. The result is connected with earlier investigations and the current groundworks plans.
Plan the investigation
The investigation objective and suitable methods are defined on specialist grounds. Depths of groundworks, utility information, accessible areas and local interference are considered. Scope and conditions for carrying out the work receive an unambiguous spatial reference. Coordination also identifies the prerequisites still to be met before specialist work begins.
Carry out the investigation
Confirm which prerequisites have been met and who is addressing outstanding points. Inform the commissioned specialists about changes to the site or plans. If prerequisites are missing, further work must be coordinated; an appointment does not replace this clarification. The agreed investigations are carried out in the defined area using the method determined on specialist grounds. Actual conditions and limitations are recorded. New findings or an ordnance find are communicated through the prescribed reporting routes; the subsequent report reflects the scope actually investigated.
Assess findings and their significance
Results and findings are assigned to the ground area and volume actually investigated. Limitations and outstanding areas remain separately identifiable. Additional suspected ordnance is clarified with the competent authorities. The assessment describes the specific findings available for the next project decision.
Document the investigation
The report describes the work carried out with its location, method, results and limitations. The associated maps and attachments remain connected with the text. The stage of work is handed over so that site management can compare the investigated area with the proposed groundworks.
Coordinate the result and next construction phase
After completion, the results report, associated maps and remaining limitations form part of the construction documents. Make sure site management receives this version. If the area, depth or construction method changes, another comparison is required before the affected work. For the next construction phase, the current design and associated specialist findings are considered together. Identify the work proposed next and whether a response is still missing for it. When passing documents to another contractor, the relevant plans and limitations form part of the document set.
Documentation
Permissions and investigation results serve different purposes
Findings and their scope
Permission to enter does not document an ordnance investigation carried out. Equally, a results report does not replace outstanding coordination concerning access or utilities. Keep these documents together in the project, but identify their respective purpose. It then remains traceable which prerequisite has been met and which specialist question has actually been answered.
Project responsibilities
FONTANA-EOD carries out the agreed specialist task; local authorities decide on their procedural steps. The BFR Kampfmittelräumung provide planning and documentation principles for this work. Their direct scope is federal property; for other projects, they serve as specialist guidance alongside the relevant local requirements.
Working approach
How FONTANA-EOD works
Document the agreed specialist service clearly
FONTANA-EOD carries out the agreed specialist task for the identified area in Dormagen and the relevant document revision. Before work begins, authorisations, accessible areas and results required are agreed. If planning or local conditions change, the scope is reviewed accordingly before the affected work. The report documents the actual work and its limitations. Site management can assign the findings available to the proposed activity and identify any clarification still needed. A fully assigned application and an investigation scope actually carried out are recorded with their respective functions.
Discuss the investigation taskThe task before the equipment
Method selection begins with the findings required for the specific groundworks. Specialist planning considers existing knowledge, ground conditions and actual investigation conditions. Available equipment or a similar neighbouring area is not sufficient as the sole basis. Access authorisations and utility information are prepared with their spatial reference. Specialist justification of the method remains a separate task from compiling municipal application documents.
Keep limitations visible
Inaccessible areas and areas with limited interpretability are identified by location and the reason for the limitation. Site management can assign outstanding specialist work and prerequisites to them. A general total-area figure does not replace these boundaries. Planning and construction teams agree when a suitable investigation will become possible. If an addition concerns further areas, their access and authorisations are clarified specifically. The extension is not derived solely from an earlier declaration for another area.
Clarify changes before intervening in the ground
A new location, additional depth or different construction method is compared with existing results before the affected work. Specialist planning receives the changed plans and their relationship to the relevant analysis and previous investigation area. Its response and any additions required are assigned to the ground area and volume affected. An unchanged file reference or the same property name does not replace this comparison. Access conditions required for the changed area also remain part of preparation.
Hand over the report and plan together
At handover, reports and associated plan attachments are provided with the relevant analysis and spatial reference. A short overview can point to important findings, limitations and outstanding prerequisites. It does not replace the documented investigation scope. When site management or contractors change, the purpose and reference of the documents remain traceable. Application status, access declarations and specialist work actually carried out remain distinguishable, enabling the next activity to be prepared on the appropriate basis.
Understand the results
Use technical statements for the next decision
The area must remain identifiable in all documents
The address and file reference help allocation but do not replace clear boundaries. The application, site plan and further declarations are related to the same area. Parts of the site are identified with their scope. This prevents consent or a result from being transferred to additional work without assessment. For part of the site, a legible extract and its position within the overall plan are helpful. Mark which boundary identifies the measure applied for and which the proposed construction groundworks. The explanation identifies the plan revision used. Where drawings conflict, allocation is clarified before further use.
Understand investigation reports and their limitationsPreparation needs clarified prerequisites
Access, utility information and known obstacles are considered together before the work. Information still missing remains an outstanding task. A planned measure is not prepared through independent groundworks. Which steps are permissible and required is agreed within the specific procedure on specialist grounds and with the competent authority.
Understand the service scopeDesign and findings
Documents for the next construction decision
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.
Understand aerial photograph assessmentSpecialist reports for site management
The findings, their locations and limitations are handed over together. This makes clear to those carrying out the work which area has been investigated and which task remains outstanding.

Process and documentationQuestions from planning
Questions about preparation in Dormagen
Who signs the permission to enter?
The Dormagen form provides for the property owner's signature. The applicant is recorded separately. If further areas are affected by the measure or access, the coordination required for them must also be clarified.
May I record missing utility information as confirmation that no utilities are present?
Unresolved conditions should not be stated as confirmed absence of utilities. Obtain the available information and plans, and identify remaining gaps. Any additional clarification needed for the investigation is agreed with those responsible. Utilities and other installations can influence method selection, measurement and interpretation. Remaining methodological limitations are documented in the report with their spatial reference.
Is the application for aerial imagery analysis sufficient for the investigation appointment?
The municipal procedure distinguishes aerial imagery analysis from any subsequent investigation on site. If the latter is proposed, a separate application is submitted to the public order office. The existing assessment and proposed investigation area form part of it. Clarify investigation needs early, before the planned groundworks. Preparation brings together official letters, location and depth plans, and complete specialist reports with their maps.
What happens if the construction plans change after the investigation?
Compare the new plans with the documented areas, depths and limitations. Whether further clarification or investigation is required depends on the change. An existing report must not be transferred to other groundworks without this comparison.
How should I act if I see a suspicious object?
Stop work in the affected area. Do not touch or move the object, move away and keep other people away. From a safe distance, notify the police immediately by calling 110 and follow the authorities' instructions.
Is permission to enter already evidence of investigation?
No. It concerns access for the measure identified. The actual investigation scope and results are substantiated by the associated specialist documentation.
Which factors determine effort and costs?
The method, investigation scope, depth, interference and accessibility determine the effort involved. Documents still missing and preparatory work required influence the next steps. The commissioned specialist service and proposed results documents are agreed with their specific scope. Cost allocation is clarified with those responsible in the specific procedure.
How are changed areas and new obstacles taken into account?
They are communicated to those responsible and assessed for their significance for scope and sequence. The documented investigation status must identify any limitations. The analysis, site plan, declarations and known site conditions are compared again. Additional areas are not treated as covered solely because they have the same file reference.

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.
