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 Viersen

Which parts of the construction area were investigated, and which remained outstanding? A report may contain results for some areas while excluding others. FONTANA-EOD supports commissioned clarification of such subareas in Viersen. We assess the reasons for exclusions and compare them with the next proposed groundworks.

Exclusions on the site plan

Read the report and map together.

Reasons for outstanding areas

Distinguish missing investigation from survey limitations.

Next groundworks

Clarify additional investigation needs.

Assess the construction project

Clearly distinguish areas addressed from those outstanding

A result for one subarea does not automatically describe the entire property. For your Viersen project, we compare existing reports, excluded areas and new interventions. Outstanding areas are incorporated into further planning with their actual clarification needs.

Connect the Viersen application with specific subareas

The municipal application form identifies Department 30/I – Explosive ordnance and requires information about the area concerned, measure and intervention depth. The planning explanatory statement for Süchtelner Straße and Ringofen shows different investigation statuses for its area at that time. For your property, its own reports and present-day plans are brought together and the steps still required are coordinated locally.

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

Local context

Viersen planning documents distinguish several investigation statuses

Distinguish subareas in Viersen's planning explanatory statement

The explanatory statement for the 95th amendment to the land-use plan for Süchtelner Straße and Ringofen distinguishes investigated areas, areas that could not be investigated and areas not yet investigated. The information reflects the work status in March 2021 and concerns that planning area. For your property, the boundaries identified there are compared with your own current investigation documents and proposed groundworks.

Link the current measure to the application

Check your construction project's own reports and maps: is the area now needed included? Viersen's aerial photograph analysis application form asks, among other things, about the construction measure, intervention depths and area to be developed. Use these to describe the approaching works and mark areas with questions still outstanding.

Distinguish Viersen's wartime damage from present-day subareas

On 9 and 24 February 1945, heavy air raids struck Viersen's town centre at that time. Historical building damage and subsequent changes must be assigned locally for a present-day project. A report about an affected urban area does not contain current findings for all properties. For your own construction area, existing investigations remain decisive within their actual spatial and technical scope.

Compare the location and depth of proposed works with the complete result documents. Investigated areas, areas that could not be investigated and areas not yet investigated must remain separately identifiable. Missing information is clarified specifically before further use. Even a commission described as completed does not extend its findings to additional areas or a different later construction method.

Investigation task

Which specialist task comes next?

Organise outstanding areas by information needs

First, the findings lacking and the reason they were not previously achieved are clarified. A missing commission requires different preparation from a technical limitation. The need is related to the groundworks now proposed. Merely stating the remaining area does not replace this technical description.

Assess historical documents

Assess present-day investigability

Access, surface conditions and installations may have changed since an earlier appointment. These conditions are assessed for the specific new task. A suitable approach is derived from this with its achievable findings. Official requirements and prerequisites for a permissible private activity in NRW are considered separately.

Compare investigation methods
Project types

Determine the outstanding investigation scope traceably

Illustration: two people review plans and documents at a table beside a construction vehicle.

Use the mapped result boundaries

Use the presentation belonging to the report and its legend. Do not merge investigated, uninvestigated and uninvestigable areas into one blanket statement. For each area, the work status actually documented remains identifiable. Unclear boundaries are clarified using the complete document before a further decision.

Document findings and their limitations
Illustration: two people with a tablet beside a drawing table and a survey trolley on a construction site.

Record the reason for a limitation

Missing access, technical survey limitations and an uncommissioned subarea are different situations. Record the documented reason with the conditions at that time. The next question can be derived from this. An area becoming accessible later is not retrospectively investigated merely because an obstruction has been removed.

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

Relate new construction work to outstanding areas

Overlay current plans on the documented area boundaries. Identify new interventions affecting an area previously outstanding. Different depths are also considered. The subsequent task is thus described specifically rather than transferring an existing partial report to the entire project solely because it has the same property designation.

Coordinate the sequence and tasks
Working together

Distinguish the tasks of client, designers and specialist contractor

Client and operator

The project owner describes the proposed work and provides the available project documents. The operator adds requirements for use, access and timing. A coordinating contact makes cooperation easier but does not automatically take on every other party's duties. Before commissioning, record clearly which information is missing, who will obtain it and which decision the result is intended to support.

Planning and construction management

The specialist designers describe areas, depths, construction methods and changes. Site management coordinates the planned sequence with the construction contractors and agreed specialist works. Results are assigned to the respective intervention. A technical plan change is communicated early enough for its effect on the survey task to be assessed before construction. Organisational construction stage boundaries remain distinguishable from technical survey boundaries.

Specialist company and competent bodies

The private explosive ordnance specialist carries out the agreed 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

Place the report and associated map side by side for the Viersen project: which areas needed today were addressed, and which are excluded? The commission identifies the reasons for exclusions and the next groundworks. An area not yet investigated may need different further work from an area that could not be interpreted under the conditions at that time. The knowledge still required is therefore described for each outstanding subarea. Existing results retain their locations and limitations. Agreed specialist work and result documents build on this assessment.

Define the specialist task

Coordinate preparatory work with the investigation

Before a supplementary investigation appointment, it is clarified why the area concerned remained outstanding and which access actually exists today. Available utility information and coordination with other trades are needed. Survey conditions and necessary preparatory work depend on the method selected. Opening-up work or additional ground interventions to create access are prepared with the responsible parties. Marking an area as outstanding is not an instruction to remove obstructions there independently. Changes from the conditions previously documented are communicated to specialist planning.

Clarify preparatory work in the programme

Agree a clear scope and schedule

For the construction programme, each outstanding subarea is linked to the activity proposed there. If it becomes accessible only in a later construction phase, this already belongs in the commission. Technical assessment and result handover also need a place in the programme. Dates and effort are agreed using the respective access, documents and outstanding prerequisites. Areas already addressed retain their documented scope. Planning can thus distinguish works building on existing results from those requiring supplementary investigation or clarification beforehand.

Discuss the scope and schedule

When investigated and outstanding areas lie side by side

Viersen's explanatory statement for the 95th land-use plan amendment of 2021 distinguishes subareas already addressed, those that could not be investigated and those not yet investigated. For your project, these statuses are allocated using the actual plan appendices. A completed partial commission is not used as a result for all neighbouring areas. Existing official letters and technical reports are brought together in full with their appendices. Documents should show which question has already been addressed and which findings are still required. Missing information is identified specifically before the next commission. The further approach follows actual needs and the bodies responsible for them.

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

For a larger excavation pit or new connecting area, the current intervention is compared with previous investigation boundaries. Outstanding areas receive the next step actually still required. Pass the current plan revision and complete reports to the parties concerned. Specialist planning determines which findings still apply and which additional task remains. A change does not automatically lead to repeating all work; the next step relates to the area actually affected. Necessary official coordination is maintained before the groundworks concerned begin.

Tasks at the site

Why an area may remain outstanding

01

Area outside the commission

The documents must show whether an area lay outside the commission or was not addressed because of an obstruction. Check whether groundworks are now proposed there. Compile existing knowledge for this additional area and clarify further needs.

02

Missing access during investigation

Missing access initially describes the situation at that time. An area being accessible today does not yet provide an investigation result. Include the proposed works in further coordination and clarify which investigation is needed under present conditions.

03

Survey with limited interpretability

Read which conditions limited the survey and how this is shown on the plan. A survey carried out is not always fully interpretable. The consequences of the limitation for proposed groundworks require specialist assessment.

04

Investigation report missing

If an earlier investigation is mentioned only verbally, obtain the report with appendices where possible. Until then, what was actually investigated remains unresolved. Missing evidence establishes neither an investigation result nor a particular level of ordnance contamination.

05

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

Assessment of an area with suspected explosive ordnance in Viersen starts with existing indications and the groundworks actually proposed. For a construction area with investigated and outstanding subareas, location, depth and current knowledge are brought together. Investigated areas, areas that could not be investigated and areas not yet investigated retain their own results and task references. A historical indication, technical result and official assessment may answer different questions. The next step is determined by the findings still lacking. State explosive ordnance assessment and permissible private supplementary tasks are distinguished using the local procedural status. A private commission neither extends the activity permitted nor replaces the duties of the competent 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 with its actual task and applicable prerequisites. It is not a blanket substitute for a necessary preceding investigation. For the Viersen project, work areas, construction sequence and remaining limitations are described. Which supervision is technically and legally possible is justified and coordinated before the work concerned. Site management, the contractor and specialist personnel need clear responsibilities and reporting routes. If a change occurs, it is assessed whether the agreed task still fits 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 Viersen, the findings required before the next intervention are agreed. 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

Read partial reports together with their appendices

Several work steps may concern different areas and questions. Keep the respective reports and maps together in full. A shared overview must not conceal individual boundaries. For a specific construction phase, explicitly identify the documented findings on which it relies and the questions still outstanding.

Show changed conditions as a new planning status

If an earlier limitation no longer exists, describe the change with its date and location. Specialist planning can use this to define the subsequent task. The earlier result is not extended retrospectively by it. A supplementary report identifies its own scope and traceable link to existing documents. For clearance work carried out, the clearance record with the subareas actually addressed, clearance scope and results is assigned to the supplementary report and site plan.

Construction sequence

Coordinate investigation and construction sections

Compare coverage before the next construction phase

Assign current interventions to the complete existing results. Mark overlaps and areas not covered on the same plan revision. Outstanding questions are clarified before the construction work concerned. An investigation already completed in a neighbouring section does not automatically answer them.

Bring results together after supplementary work

Hand over the new result with its area, task and remaining limitations. Establish its link to earlier reports without reinterpreting their findings retrospectively. Site management receives a traceable allocation for proposed works. Further changes are assessed again using this current overall status.

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 basis of a suspected hazard. For subarea reports, it is checked which areas the historical assessment actually covers and which images were available for it. An assessed historical image is not yet a technical investigation of the present-day ground. Even the absence of an identifiable indication in it does not resolve an outstanding current specialist question. For further work, interpretive capability, area boundaries and subsequent changes are assigned to the proposed groundworks. Historically assessed, technically investigated and outstanding areas remain distinguishable.

Understand aerial photograph assessment

Magnetometric survey

Magnetometric methods detect magnetic anomalies. For a subarea requiring supplementary investigation, expected objects, ground conditions and the investigation area required are considered. If an earlier survey identified limitations, their documented causes are compared with present conditions. Fences, utilities and existing structural components may affect interpretation. Signal strength alone does not identify explosive ordnance. Surveying, assessment and necessary further clarification are planned together for the specific outstanding area. The report records the findings achieved under the conditions actually encountered.

Understand the scope of magnetometry

Electromagnetic methods

Electromagnetic investigations may be suitable for certain metallic target objects and site conditions. For a previously excluded area, suitability is justified using the findings required and existing installations. Survey access previously unavailable there is compared with present conditions; equipment availability alone is insufficient. Data obtained receive a spatial reference and information on investigation conditions. Specialist assessment establishes the subarea addressed and whether another method or further clarification is still needed for the proposed groundworks.

Understand electromagnetic surveying

Ground-penetrating radar

Under suitable conditions, ground-penetrating radar can provide information about subsurface structures and reflections. An older radar plan is checked for investigation purpose, areas covered and interpretation limitations before use for an outstanding explosive ordnance question. Ground conditions, moisture and installations may limit interpretability. A reflection does not automatically identify explosive ordnance; an apparently unremarkable presentation does not confirm any arbitrary depth. Specialist interpretation and limitations are documented with the commission. For the next works, the subarea actually assessed and areas where findings are still lacking remain identifiable.

GPR and limitations

Deep-ground and downhole surveys

For deeper interventions, it may be necessary to assess whether investigation from the surface can provide the findings required or whether another approach is needed. An area report may, for example, explicitly exclude a deeper ground volume or specific positions. For supplementary work, location, depth, borehole layout and existing utilities are brought together. Creation of suitable investigation access is prepared by specialists. A standard grid or general depth figure does not replace this planning. The result is assigned to the ground volume actually addressed and is not extended to adjoining or deeper outstanding areas.

Prepare deep interventions

Survey during construction

If a necessary advance investigation cannot be completed in full, it is assessed whether a specialist-planned approach accompanying construction is suitable. For the outstanding subarea, it describes investigation, interpretation and communication of findings within the proposed work sequence. Visual observation of excavated material alone does not replace a necessary survey. Site management receives an allocation to the areas and activities concerned: when specialist work takes place, how new knowledge is handled and what remains outstanding afterwards. Existing results and supplementary work are linked spatially and traceably in the report.

Agree the approach during construction
Technical assessment

Define the outstanding investigation task

Relate maps to the same area

A historical aerial photograph analysis may contain indications for the wider area. Compare its maps with the existing investigation report and mark the outstanding subarea. Different spatial references must be clarified before commissioning.

Check present survey conditions

For a further survey, the present survey and access conditions must be assessed. An earlier limitation is not automatically unchanged or already resolved. Begin the necessary specialist clarification before making changes involving ground intervention.

Describe the area and intervention together

The clearance plan or investigation plan describes the outstanding area, relevant depths and proposed groundworks. The specific task is derived from this. Supplementary work should answer the outstanding question; it does not extend all findings of the older report indiscriminately.

Next steps

Continue addressing outstanding areas through to construction

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.

Read the report and appendices together. Mark excluded areas on current plans and retain the respective reason. Do not summarise different limitations merely as partly assessed; site management must be able to distinguish them.

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.

Show which outstanding subareas are needed in the next construction phase. Add the type and depth of proposed interventions. Other outstanding areas remain documented and continue to lie outside the completed investigation scope.

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.

Coordinate the task with the responsible regulatory authority and specialist planners. Describe precisely in the commission what the specialist company is to address. The competent authority decides on necessary official measures; the desired construction start does not replace that decision.

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.

Assign new results to the previously outstanding area and plan revision used. The supplementary report must show the question answered and limitations remaining. Pass the earlier report and supplement on together so that the context is identifiable for construction.

Documentation

Retain remaining limitations in the result

Findings and their scope

Assign previous and supplementary results to their respective areas. A shared plan may show which report applies to which area. Differences in depth, investigation conditions and timing must be explained. The new result does not apply to neighbouring areas that remain outstanding.

Project responsibilities

The BFR Kampfmittelräumung serve as technical guidance for planning and documentation; their direct scope is federal. For Viersen, NRW rules and local requirements must also be observed. Commissioned investigation by FONTANA-EOD does not replace an official decision. Even a complete file does not automatically cover every subsequent ground activity.

Working approach

How FONTANA-EOD works

Document the agreed specialist service clearly

FONTANA-EOD addresses the agreed outstanding specialist question for the defined subareas and current plan revision. Before work begins, accessible areas and results required are compared with earlier reports. Changes to access, depths or construction methods are passed for specialist assessment before the work concerned. The new report shows the supplementary work actually carried out and its limitations. Site management can bring it together with previous records without extending findings for one subarea to the entire property.

Discuss the investigation task

The task before the equipment

Selection starts with the reason the subarea concerned remains outstanding. Missing survey access, limited interpretability or a construction task defined differently at that time raise different questions. The knowledge required is described for the works now proposed. Specialist planning uses this to justify a suitable approach. Mere equipment availability or the method used on a neighbouring area is insufficient as the basis for selection.

Keep limitations visible

Outstanding areas receive clear designations on the site plan and a description of the existing limitation. Site management assigns the next activities and specialist work still required to them. For a larger overall area, the subareas already assessed and those not assessed remain visible. When access previously missing is to be created, its prerequisites are coordinated separately. The next investigation thus follows on from the documented boundary rather than concealing an outstanding task in a general area figure.

Clarify changes before intervening in the ground

A new location, additional depth or different construction method is compared with existing results before the work concerned. Specialist planners receive a plan showing the change from the earlier investigation area. Their response is assigned to the subarea concerned and incorporated into subsequent work planning. An unchanged property address does not, by itself, confirm an unchanged investigation task. Even within a construction area already addressed, the new ground volume may need separate clarification.

Hand over the report and plan together

The report and plan appendices are supplied together at handover. A short overview may identify subareas addressed, main limitations and outstanding tasks. Its technical scope follows from the complete records with spatial and depth references. If site management or contractors change, earlier and supplementary results remain assignable. It can thus be assessed for the next activity which report actually covers it and which further work is still required.

Understand the results

Use technical statements for the next decision

Not investigated initially means findings are missing

The term describes a work status and does not replace assessment of the specific ground. Reasons and spatial boundaries belong in that assessment. For a new measure, the investigation or other work required is clarified. Missing findings are interpreted neither as positive evidence nor as a confirmed find.

Understand investigation reports and their limitations

A removed obstruction changes a prerequisite

If an area becomes accessible or an interfering condition changes, this may enable further work. Knowledge is actually gained only through the corresponding specialist work. Therefore keep preparation and result separate. Both are included in project documents with their date and area.

Questions from planning

Questions about outstanding subareas in Viersen

What distinguishes not investigated from not investigable?

Not investigated means an investigation step is missing. Not investigable describes a documented limitation under the conditions at that time. Read the reason stated in the report and clarify its implications for the groundworks now proposed.

Can an area that has since become accessible be regarded as assessed?

No. New access only enables further work; it is not an investigation result. Coordinate the steps needed for the area. The subsequent report must be assigned to that precise area.

Does the Ringofen document describe all of Viersen?

No. The explanatory statement dated March 2021 concerns the planning area shown. Another property requires its own documents and present-day requirements. The report does not describe ordnance contamination across the entire city.

Which documents are needed for a supplementary investigation?

Compile the earlier report, appendices and current construction plans. Mark outstanding areas and add intervention depths and known changes to access or existing structures. Identify missing information so that it can be clarified before investigation.

What should happen if a suspicious object is encountered during work?

Stop the affected work and move away without touching or moving the object. Keep others away. Report the find immediately to the police on 110 and follow the instructions of the competent authorities.

How are several partial reports used for one construction phase?

Their respective areas, depths and limitations are assigned to current construction work. An overview supplements the complete individual reports and does not replace them.

Which change to an area previously not investigable should be communicated?

The changed condition with its precise location, timing and proposed works. Whether it makes further investigation possible and necessary is assessed by specialists.

What determines the effort and costs of a supplementary investigation?

The size and accessibility of the outstanding area, intervention depth, method, interference and existing usable results are decisive. Preparatory services, interpretation and documentation required are also included. These services are coordinated with their scope before commissioning. The supplementary result identifies the area, task, method, limits of findings and relationship to earlier reports. Remaining outstanding areas are identified explicitly.

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.
