Ordnance assessment in Kerpen: describe the project and area
A property outline does not yet show where or how construction will take place. Ordnance assessment in Kerpen depends on the specific project and the areas it requires. FONTANA-EOD helps developers, designers and site managers bring the construction task and existing findings together so further investigation can be aligned with the planned work.
Identify planned ground interventions with their locations and depths.
Assign the application area and construction plans clearly.
Compare new areas before construction.
Assess the construction project
Align area data with the planned ground intervention
For your construction project in Kerpen, the areas submitted must match the actual plans. We compare existing documents, planned ground interventions and the status of official processing. Unresolved areas and changes are clearly identified before further specialist work.
Project site
Connect the site with the specific construction task
Use Kerpen's procedural route with precise documents
The town of Kerpen identifies its general public order department as the contact for ordnance investigations. The official page requires a specific construction project and clearly assigned areas. Any necessary ordnance investigation is requested through the public order authority with the explosive ordnance disposal service at the Düsseldorf District Government. These steps are linked to the current plan version for your project. Kerpen is a town in the Rhein-Erft district, Cologne administrative district, in North Rhine-Westphalia. Identify the precise project address and work areas affected. For projects outside the town, clarify the relevant local contact separately. Existing information, area data and further documents are assigned to the actual project location. The area described in the procedure is linked to the planned ground interventions.
Local context
The application needs a specific construction project
Relate the Kerpen application to a specific construction project
The Kolpingstadt Kerpen points out that the explosive ordnance disposal service does not process applications without a specific construction project. Alongside project details, aerial photograph analysis requires the precise address, cadastral section and plot, and a clearly identified area. A general question about a property does not replace this description.
Bring digital area data and actual ground intervention together
The town specifies digital area data as a shapefile in ZIP format, or alternatively a clearly marked cadastral map or Deutsche Grundkarte. For irregular areas, it requires a shapefile. Agree a usable data version with the responsible authority before submitting only an extract from an overview plan.
The 2013 cycling route brochure provided by the town documents the destruction of a former workshop building on Mähnstraße in a bombing raid in February 1945. For a present-day project, historical findings are linked to the actual project area and later ground changes. Reconstruction, changes of use and altered working areas are assessed using existing documents. Any further specialist task arising is compared with the planned ground intervention and documented processing status. This individual historical evidence does not describe a present-day investigation status.
Requirements
Clarify technical requirements and responsibilities within the project
Relate requirements to the specialist task
For the commissioned activities, the relevant technical requirements and questions of permits, competence certification and responsibility are clarified. The actual planned service scope is decisive. A general company designation does not replace checking that the tasks and interfaces are described appropriately for the specific project.
Link occupational safety to the construction sequence
The risk assessment, working areas and communication must fit the planned activities. Explosive ordnance specialist works are coordinated with the other construction works. Operational organisation, traffic safety and other technical checks retain their own responsible parties. Joint coordination brings the information together and assigns tasks and decisions to the respective competent participants.
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: Kolpingstadt Kerpen: ordnance investigation.
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 KMR are used as technical guidance; locally applicable requirements and responsibilities must be clarified separately.
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.
Private works are subject to the exceptions under the KampfmittelVO and the requirements of the official guidance. The exceptions concern, in particular, downhole detection as part of specialist foundation engineering and explosive ordnance clearance during construction under the conditions laid down by law. Private explosive ordnance clearance during construction requires that prior investigation using recognised explosive ordnance detection methods is not possible. A relevant factor is also the state explosive ordnance disposal service's assessment that there are no specific indications of ordnance contamination on the site concerned. All further spatial, technical and organisational requirements are clarified for the specific activity. The competent authorities decide on the official appointment.
Working together
Allocate tasks within the construction project
Client and operator
The client describes the project and provides the available project documents. The operator adds requirements relating to use, access and scheduling. The participants agree their respective tasks and decision-making responsibilities. A coordinating contact person brings the project information together. Before an appointment, it is recorded clearly which information is missing, who will obtain it and which decision the result is intended to support.
Planning and construction management
The specialist designers describe areas, depths, construction methods and changes. Site management coordinates the planned sequence with the construction contractors and agreed specialist works. Results are assigned to the respective intervention. A technical plan change is communicated early enough for its effect on the survey task to be assessed before construction. Organisational construction stage boundaries remain distinguishable from technical survey boundaries.
Specialist company and competent bodies
The private explosive ordnance specialist company carries out the agreed permissible investigation and documentation scope. Authority requirements and decisions are clarified with the respective competent bodies. The documents needed for a specific procedure depend on the site and project. The technical report documents the specialist service performed, including areas, depths and limits of its conclusions. Its applicability to further groundworks is checked against the specific intervention.
The town of Kerpen identifies its general public order department as the local contact. Any necessary ordnance investigation is requested through the public order authority with the state explosive ordnance disposal service at the Düsseldorf District Government. The town provides the necessary forms with the relevant notification. Statutory tasks and permissible commissioning of private specialist services are coordinated separately for the specific process. The private technical report describes the specialist service actually performed and the limits of its findings.
Investigation task
Which specialist task comes next?
Consider geometry and the investigation question together
A correctly defined area does not yet answer what specialist finding is needed. Existing findings, intervention depth and construction method are considered together for that purpose. Method selection takes account of actual site conditions. Digital data are an important basis for assignment, but are not themselves a subsurface investigation.
Assess historical documentsDefine the permissible commission beforehand
The official process and a supplementary private specialist service are described with their respective tasks. Specific prerequisites must be checked for activities in North Rhine-Westphalia. A well-prepared plan alone does not establish a permissible investigation commission. Necessary coordination and authorisations therefore remain part of further preparation.
Compare investigation methodsProject types
Create a clear spatial reference for everyone involved
Derive the affected area from the project
Property and intervention boundaries need not be identical. Show where construction, foundation work or connections will actually take place. Identify areas not yet settled. A complete project description allows area data to be assessed correctly and avoids using the postal address alone as working information.
In addition to the final construction area, include the space needed for the work. Support works, connections and preparatory exploratory openings may affect different volumes of ground from the eventual building outline. Outstanding options remain identified as such. For specialist comparison, state the planned depths with the relevant ground or elevation reference. The plans then identify which findings are needed for which task and where existing knowledge still needs supplementing.
Specialist services and investigation tasks
Label separate areas clearly
If several work areas are separated, give them traceable labels. Use these labels in explanations and further documents too. Their relationship to the overall project remains clear. Questions and results can then be assigned to a specific task without unintentionally including the other areas.
Identify which areas are to be addressed together and which at different times. For separate commissions, bring the respective plan versions together. Results remain linked to the associated areas and work actually performed. A connection added later is described as an addition with its location and depth. Before the additional ground intervention, clarify necessary investigations and protective measures with those responsible.
Document findings and their limitationsPass on plan changes with a clear revision status
A changed drawing or area file needs a clear reference to the previous version. Identify areas added, removed or relocated. Those involved receive the same applicable version. A new file without explanation must not lead to different assumptions about the ground intervention to be assessed.
Identify the reason for the change and the working areas affected. A larger excavation or relocated utility trench is compared with previous intervention boundaries. Specialist planners assess which existing finding covers the new task. Outstanding questions are defined from this difference. The supplemented document set records which version underlies further coordination and which areas a supplementary specialist service is to address.
Coordinate the sequence and tasksPreparation
Prepare the scope and commission together
Historical preliminary assessment, technical investigation and specialist work during construction answer different project questions. The permissible private activity under the specific North Rhine-Westphalia procedure is clarified with the information objective and necessary authority involvement before an agreement.
Establish what needs to be known before commissioning the work
For the Kerpen commission, describe the specific construction project and areas submitted together. A property outline does not yet define the planned groundworks. Identify location, depth and construction method, and assign existing information and results. This determines whether documents first need assessment, specific volumes of ground need investigation or already assessed findings need further work. The commissioned specialist service and required result documents have this specific reference. Outstanding parts of the construction plans remain identifiable as provisional.
Define the specialist taskCoordinate preparatory work with the investigation
Before the investigation date, clarify which parts of the application area shown are actually accessible for surveying. Utility information, installations and coordination with other trades form part of preparation. Necessary preparatory work depends on the method and site. Additional breaking out or other ground interventions to create investigation access are prepared with specialist input and the responsible parties, rather than undertaken independently. A closed polygon in a file confirms neither a fully accessible area nor agreement with all ground interventions planned today.
Clarify preparatory work in the programmeAgree a clear scope and schedule
The scope of private specialist work is agreed using the project documents, actual execution conditions and permissible activity. Necessary preparatory works, investigation, evaluation and documentation are described transparently. Costs and dates are related to these prerequisites and the required coordination. Changes to the construction plans are checked against the agreed contract before work is extended.
Discuss the scope and scheduleTasks at the site
Turning a design into an assessable investigation area
01
Ground interventions rather than land-use areas
Show where groundworks or work affecting the ground are actually planned. Connections and other structures may be affected alongside the building. Distinguish firmly planned areas from those where future use is only under consideration.
02
Related separate areas
If your project affects several separate areas, show their relationship and differences. Give the areas clear labels. Responses can then be assigned to the correct construction section rather than combining all results under a single property address.
03
Geometry and plan version
Check whether the area file submitted belongs to the current design. The site plan, digital boundary and description must not show different project versions. Have the responsible designers prepare the data professionally; unclear boundaries should be clarified before submission. For the shapefile, the town specifies polygons in the ETRS 1989 UTM Zone 32N reference system (EPSG code 25832).
04
Depth and construction method
Add planned intervention depths and any intended drilling, driving or retaining works. An outline describes location only. The construction task is also needed to assess what findings are required for further planning and which existing documents provide relevant information.
Project documents
Documents that establish the next step
Maintain the spatial reference through to the result
Documentation should identify the area and task addressed. Keep the plans used with their revision status. Results are compared with the intended construction sections. A clear filename supports assignment but does not replace substantive comparison of area and findings.
The report and associated plans are kept with the scope actually addressed. A partially accessible area remains identifiable with its limitations. Measurements and findings are assigned to the investigation objective and areas reached. Record which plan version underlay the work for later comparison. After clearance work, the clearance record, with its scope, results and limitations, supplements this evidence chain for the areas actually treated. Changed depths or ground surfaces are considered before existing results are used for a further ground intervention.
Explicitly include additional ground interventions
New utility connections, changed foundations or added areas may extend beyond the previous scope. Mark these changes on the current design. Further clarification needs are derived specifically from the difference. Existing results continue to be used for their documented area, rather than automatically transferred to the extension.
For an additional construction section, describe its preparatory work too. Compare an existing investigation with the volume of ground needed for it. Identify the specialist finding still missing by location, depth and intended method. The resulting addition has a traceable reference to previous plans. For construction, the jointly applicable documents and outstanding tasks remain available to the respective responsible parties.
Construction sequence
Coordinate investigation and construction sections
Establish a shared version before the enquiry
Align the description, area documents and planned ground interventions. Identify the planning status and outstanding points. The enquiry then shows which project is actually to be considered. Questions can address missing details specifically, rather than first resolving conflicting versions.
Compare spatial scope after a response
Read the text and annexes together and assign the finding to the current design. Identify changes since the enquiry. Further steps use the same traceable area reference. Subsequent documentation records which parts were actually addressed and which questions may remain outstanding.
Method selection
Select methods according to the task and survey conditions
Historical records and aerial photographs
Historical aerial photograph analysis and other older documents help locate the basis for suspected ordnance. Available images, interpretability and the area boundaries considered are linked to the specific construction project. The absence of a visible indication is not a technical investigation of today's ground. Other existing findings also inform further planning. The application geometry submitted and the area actually assessed remain distinguishable. If working areas or additional connections are planned later, their spatial relationship to the existing analysis is checked.
Understand aerial photograph assessmentMagnetometric survey
Magnetic methods detect magnetic anomalies. Suitability is assessed according to expected objects, ground conditions, interference and the volume requiring investigation. Fences, utilities and existing structures can affect interpretation. Signal strength alone does not identify explosive ordnance. Measurement, assessment and further clarification are linked to the specific groundworks. A boundary drawn on a plan does not yet describe what was actually established. Magnetometry measures the magnetic field passively. The magnetic effect of the target object is decisive; electrical conductivity alone does not establish detectability by this method.
Understand the scope of magnetometryElectromagnetic methods
Electromagnetic investigations may suit certain metallic targets and site conditions. Selection considers the finding required, accessible survey areas and interfering installations. Instrument availability alone is not sufficient justification. Results are documented with their locations and investigation conditions and assigned to the volume of ground actually addressed. Any necessary addition follows from specialist assessment. The application area's label does not replace this result reference. Transient electromagnetic methods, or TDEM, evaluate the time-dependent electromagnetic response of conductive objects. The method is selected according to the investigation objective and actual survey conditions.
Understand electromagnetic surveyingGround-penetrating radar
Under suitable conditions, ground-penetrating radar can provide information about subsurface structures and reflections. Ground conditions, moisture and installations affect interpretability. A reflection is not automatically ordnance; an area without notable signals does not confirm any arbitrary depth. Specialist interpretation and limits are documented with the commission. A radar report prepared for other purposes is checked for its objective and scope before use as ordnance evidence. Its coverage is compared with the specific planned groundworks, rather than only the property's outer boundary.
GPR and limitationsDeep-ground and downhole surveys
For deeper ground interventions, it may be necessary to assess whether a surface investigation can establish what is needed or whether another approach is required. Planning links specific positions, depths, reference elevations and borehole layout with known utilities. Suitable investigation access is also prepared by specialists. A standard grid or general depth figure does not replace this task. Digital area geometry does not automatically contain these depth plans. Results remain tied to the volumes of ground actually investigated and the method used.
Prepare deep interventionsSurvey during construction
If a necessary advance investigation cannot be completed in full, specialists assess whether a planned approach accompanying construction is suitable. Investigation, interpretation and communication of findings are linked to the actual construction work. Visual observation of excavated material alone does not replace a necessary survey. Site management receives the allocation of specialist work and unresolved areas within the planned sequence. This needs the specific ground interventions from the construction plans; the outer application boundary alone does not yet describe the specialist task. Changes are agreed before the affected activity.
Agree the approach during constructionTechnical assessment
Specialist assessment follows definition of the area
Read historical sources
The historical aerial photograph analysis is considered for the area described. Its findings must be read with maps, explanations and limitations. A later project extension should not be treated as included merely because it is close to the previous area.
Provide the complete analysis with maps, legends and explanations. An older extract is assigned to its report and the original investigation purpose. If a basis for the ground intervention now planned is missing, clarify the further work required. A finding received later supplements the area it identifies. Historical findings and results from an investigation actually performed remain distinguishable in the project file according to their respective purpose.
Clarify investigation needs
Which survey or other measure is needed follows from the findings and planned ground intervention. A correct data format does not yet answer this specialist question. Site survey conditions must also be considered; geometric accuracy does not replace a suitable investigation method. Method selection considers the investigation objective, intervention depth, ground structure, existing utilities, interfering objects and actual measurability. Specialist selection takes account of achievable findings and necessary additions. An investigation accompanying construction is agreed only within a permissible commission and its specific scope.
Prepare the work
A clearance plan describes the specialist tasks needed and their sequence. Where design options remain open initially, identify the decision still outstanding. Later site observation must not be planned as a blanket substitute for a necessary prior investigation. The results documentation describes the work actually carried out.
A permissible specialist task accompanying construction is agreed with the areas to be addressed and existing findings. The work actually supervised, observations and measurements are assigned spatially. Limitations and follow-up investigations still needed remain identifiable. The technical report describes the service performed and its assessment. Applicability is compared with the specific ground intervention for later groundworks. Professional explosive ordnance clearance during construction includes the agreed technical specialist task; visual observation alone is not an equivalent substitute.
Next steps
Carry area information through the procedure
Agree project documents
Compile the current site plan and a short description of the groundworks. Where several designers are involved, clarify who provides the applicable version. An agreed starting point prevents the investigation referring to a superseded design. Existing documents are checked for currency, spatial relevance and gaps. Necessary research is undertaken where historical findings are missing. Any required official aerial photograph analysis is processed through the public order authority by the responsible state service, and its result is assigned to today's ground interventions.
Submit the application through the town
The local procedural route goes through the public order office. If aerial photograph analysis indicates possible ordnance contamination, the town describes a subsequent application for an ordnance investigation. The necessary forms are provided with the relevant notification; further steps must be coordinated with the authority.
Check the response against the plan
Compare the official notification with the area submitted. If parts are excluded or information is missing, clarify these points before the affected construction work. Keep the submitted plan with the response to preserve its spatial reference. The suitable method is selected according to the information sought, intervention depth, ground structure, utilities, interfering objects and survey conditions. Permissible commissioning and outstanding prerequisites are agreed with those responsible.
Perform the agreed investigation
The survey or investigation during construction appointed under North Rhine-Westphalia's requirements is carried out in the agreed areas and points. Measurement data and observations receive traceable location and elevation references. Uninvestigated areas, restricted access and relevant interference are recorded.
Assess survey data and findings
The collected data and findings are evaluated against the investigation objective. The technical assessment considers interference, the areas reached and remaining limits of the conclusions. It establishes which further investigation or work is needed for the planned groundworks.
Bring the report and plan appendices together
The report and plan attachments document the specialist works performed and their assessment. Worked areas, investigation depths, the relevant ground surface and limitations remain assigned. Reused older results and newly investigated areas are recorded distinctly. The agreed recipients receive the related documents together.
Identify changes
If a structure moves or a new utility section is added, identify the change from the previous version. This allows a targeted check of whether existing results are sufficient. The need for supplementary investigations is decided from this specific change. Site management receives the report and associated plans with the specialist tasks still outstanding for its work area.
Documentation
The file, map and report must identify the same area
Findings and their scope
At handover to site management, the applicable plans accompany the specialist results. Record which areas were investigated and what limitations remain. Later renaming of construction sections should not obscure this assignment. If different plan versions continue to be used, it must remain clear which version underlay the investigation.
Project responsibilities
The area requirements described come from Kerpen's procedure. The BFR Kampfmittelräumung additionally provide general planning and documentation principles; their direct scope is federal properties. FONTANA-EOD undertakes the agreed specialist scope. The relevant competent authorities make official decisions.
Working approach
How FONTANA-EOD works
Document the agreed specialist service clearly
FONTANA-EOD undertakes the agreed specialist task for the identified Kerpen project and applicable plan version. Before the work begins, submitted areas, actual ground interventions and required results are compared. Accessible areas and outstanding prerequisites remain identifiable. If plans or local conditions change, the scope is reviewed before the affected work proceeds. The report documents the work actually undertaken and its limits. Site management can assign the finding to the planned activity and prepare further clarification for additional volumes of ground.
Discuss the investigation taskThe task before the equipment
Method selection starts with the information needed for the specific planned groundworks. Specialist planners have the construction task, existing results and actual site conditions for this purpose. An available instrument or a neighbouring property with a similar outline is not sufficient as the sole basis for selection. Specialist justification links the method to each volume of ground. Geometrically clear area information supports this assignment but does not replace investigation planning.
Keep limitations visible
Inaccessible areas and areas with restricted interpretability are identified by location and the reason for the restriction. Site management can assign the relevant work and additions still required to them. A statement of the entire application area is supplemented by these limits. Planning and construction teams agree when a suitable investigation can be undertaken. Volumes of ground already addressed and those still unresolved remain distinguishable, even if both lie within the same property or file.
Clarify changes before intervening in the ground
If an excavation is extended, a utility relocated, or a different depth or construction method planned, the new version is compared with existing results before the affected activity. Specialist planners receive a clear account of the change from the previous investigation area. Their response and necessary additions are assigned to the affected volume of ground. An unchanged filename or the same cadastral plot number does not, by itself, confirm agreement with the earlier commission.
Hand over the report and plan together
At handover, result reports and associated plans are provided with the applicable construction and area version. A short overview can point to important findings, limitations and outstanding tasks. It does not replace the documented investigation scope. When site management or contractors change, the actual ground interventions covered by the results remain traceable. Further planning can continue using applicable evidence and specifically identify additional volumes of ground as tasks still needing clarification.
Understand the results
Use technical statements for the next decision
One cadastral plot may contain several ground interventions
A shared property number does not mean all work should be treated identically in spatial or specialist terms. Buildings, connections and external works are shown with their actual ground interventions. This assignment is retained across separate construction sections. An existing result is then compared with each planned work area.
Understand investigation reports and their limitationsA changed file needs a substantive explanation
In a new version, identify the changed location and construction section affected. Add further changes to depth or construction method where necessary. Those involved can then assess the significance for previous findings. Simply passing on updated geometry does not fully describe these specialist differences.

Preparation connects the commission, site work and handover of findings. Changes to the project can then be incorporated into technical coordination in good time.
Process and documentationQuestions from planning
Questions about construction tasks and area data in Kerpen
Can I apply for aerial photograph analysis without a construction project?
Kerpen's service page points out that the explosive ordnance disposal service does not process applications without a specific construction project. Describe the actual plans. Clarify directly with the town what information is possible for a property decision that remains open.
Is a marked map extract sufficient?
The town lists clearly marked maps as an alternative to a shapefile. For irregular areas, however, it requires digital area data in the specified format. Current local requirements are decisive; an arbitrary image extract is not automatically sufficient.
Does the area file already determine the survey method?
No. The file defines the area. The investigation method depends on existing knowledge, the construction task and site conditions. Geometrically correct information cannot replace specialist determination.
What additional documents are needed for a changed excavation?
Show the changed location, dimensions and planned depth compared with the previous plan. Together with existing documents, this allows assessment of the change's consequences for specialist work and, where relevant, the official procedure.
What should be done if a suspicious object is found?
Stop work in the affected area. Do not pick up or move the object; move away and keep other people away. Notify the police immediately on 110 and follow the authorities' instructions.
Is a property number enough to describe the ground interventions?
It helps identification but does not describe all work areas and depths. The specific construction task and its defined areas are also shown.
How are separate construction areas recorded?
With clear labels and a shared reference to the project. Enquiries, plans and later results should identify the same separate areas.
What cost factors need clarification when plans change?
To assess a plan change, identify the areas affected, new plan version and changes to location, depth or construction method. These determine whether further coordination or investigation is needed. The effort depends on usable previous documents, necessary preparation and access, the area or number and depth of investigation points, a suitable method, survey conditions, interpretation and documentation. The town explains possible costs for preparatory and follow-up work and additional costs during investigation. A private quotation concerns the specialist scope permissibly commissioned.
Project enquiry
Prepare the first technical discussion
Provide traceable area information
Include current plans with clearly labelled ground intervention areas. Provide the project address, cadastral section and plot, and explain the specific construction project. Identify the applicable version and any associated file references. Existing ordnance documents are included with their maps and annexes. Outstanding options or depths remain identifiable. Designers prepare the area data according to local requirements. Supplementary responses are assigned to the associated process with their respective status.
Describe the project precisely
Identify the construction method, known depths and changes from earlier enquiries. Also show lateral working areas, retaining structures and connections. Communicate known utilities and access restrictions. Before preparatory or further ground interventions, clarify the investigations and protective measures needed. For area clearance or recovery tasks, agree the necessary scope and permissible commission with the responsible authority. Missing details are recorded as specific questions and updated with documents received later.

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.
