Assign the procedure in Rhineland-Palatinate to the specific task

In the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate, ADD's explosive ordnance clearance service supports the competent authorities in specific hazards. Local regulatory authorities are generally responsible; in urgent danger, the police are responsible. According to ADD guidance, precautionary research and checks without a specific hazard background are handled by suitable private specialist companies. Tasks, prerequisites and results required for your construction project are classified accordingly.

Identify the municipality, project address and land parcels of the actual construction area. Whether an independent municipality, collective municipality or city administration is the local contact depends on the project location and responsible administration. Planning spatially defines excavations, routes, drilling points and work areas. For several separate locations, the associated reports and official responses remain individually retrievable. A general description such as Rhine-Main area or Moselle region provides orientation; the specific procedure is clarified using the municipality affected. Further project locations are shown in the regional overview.

The existing overviews for SGD Nord, SGD Süd, Trier–West Palatinate area provide the corresponding local information. Select your project’s area; the specific municipality and affected properties remain decisive for the enquiry.

Overview of operating regions
Local context

Historical sources and present construction tasks in Rhineland-Palatinate

Wartime impacts and present construction areas

The Koblenz City Archive documents air raids in 1944 on the freight yards in Lützel and Moselweiß and residential areas that were hit. For present construction tasks, suitable historical photographs and other records are related to the actual area. Earlier development, reconstruction and subsequent ground changes receive their respective date reference. Historical indications are compared with present land parcels, construction areas and intervention depths. Assessment of an adjoining area remains linked to its own sources.

In Rhineland-Palatinate, the explosive ordnance clearance service of the Aufsichts- und Dienstleistungsdirektion supports competent authorities in preventing specific explosive ordnance hazards. Local regulatory authorities are generally responsible; in urgent danger, the police act.

Commission property-specific historical research

For property-specific historical research and precautionary checks, ADD refers to suitable private specialist companies. The commissioned specialist company analyses available documents for the construction area described. The state service supports the competent authorities in preventing specific hazards. Before commissioning, the specialist task required, necessary authorisations and proposed result documents are determined.

Distinguish project enquiries from reports of finds

For clients, this means a planned construction measure and an actual explosive ordnance find require different channels. FONTANA-EOD can prepare and perform the precautionary specialist service commissioned. In specific finds or hazards, competent bodies are involved; the project enquiry prepares the specialist service. A find is reported to the competent regulatory authority or police.

Working together

Distinguish the tasks of client, designers and specialist contractor

Client and operator

The client describes the project and provides the available project records. The operator adds requirements for use, access and timing. A coordinating contact brings the parties together; individual tasks remain assigned to the named parties. Before commissioning, it is clearly recorded what information is missing, who will obtain it and what decision the result is intended to prepare.

Planning and construction management

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

Specialist company and competent bodies

The private explosive ordnance specialist carries out the agreed investigation and documentation work. Requirements and decisions of public authorities are addressed with the responsible bodies. The documents needed for a particular procedure depend on the location and project. The technical report describes the work carried out, including its documented area, depth and scope. Decisions reserved for public authorities are made by those authorities.

ADD names the administrations of independent municipalities, collective municipalities and independent and large district towns as local regulatory authorities. In urgent danger, the police are responsible. The state explosive ordnance clearance service supports authorities through administrative assistance in specific hazards. Precautionary private research and checks are commissioned with their own service scope. Those responsible for the project coordinate the response required and document handover before the relevant work step. A need for ordnance recovery is coordinated with the permissible task and the competent authorities.

Investigation task

Which specialist task comes next?

Determine a suitable method from the question

Existing knowledge is compared with planned interventions and local investigation conditions. The findings required follow from this. Method selection follows this specialist task. A city, landscape or usage designation alone determines neither the method nor a particular investigation scope for every property.

Assess historical documents

Agree precautionary specialist services with their limits

A private commission describes research, investigation or further agreed measures with the respective area and result. Necessary permits and qualifications remain relevant. In specific hazards, competent bodies carry out the hazard-prevention measures required. Unclear prerequisites are clarified before agreement and execution.

Compare investigation methods
Cities and landscape regions

Regional project conditions in Rhineland-Palatinate

An excavation in a city centre raises different questions from a utility route or formerly military land. Whether explosive ordnance indications exist and further measures are required must be clarified for each property.

Mainz and Rheinhessen

A city-centre excavation requires a different investigation area from a utility trench or new development area. Near the Rhine-Main area, new projects meet existing transport and utility networks. Previous uses and investigations already available must be compared with the current intervention.

Koblenz, Middle Rhine and Moselle

For bridges, river crossings and bank structures, land-based construction areas, foundations and possible work in the water must be clearly distinguished. Narrow valleys and existing transport corridors affect access and construction sections. Proximity to water alone does not determine the suitable survey method.

Ludwigshafen and the Palatinate

Previous uses may overlap on industrial and commercial properties. Fill and remaining foundations must be considered in investigation. For such projects in Ludwigshafen and the Rhine-Palatinate area, historical documents are as important as measurement conditions and ongoing operations.

Kaiserslautern and West Palatinate

For former barracks, depots or other military land, the usage history must be described particularly carefully. Existing knowledge gaps are clarified by specialists even after dismantling or a change of ownership. The proposed construction objective determines which areas and intervention depths must be addressed.

Trier and the Moselle region

Different documents may exist for existing urban areas, transport connections and new construction sections. For a traceable assessment, earlier results, current site plans and the specific construction task are brought together. Limitations and additional investigation needs remain explicitly identified.

Eifel, Hunsrück and other districts

Outside major cities too, previous military uses, transport corridors and local wartime impacts must be considered where indications exist. For longer routes or energy projects, changing uses and terrain conditions must be recorded section by section. Even outside a city, assessment follows the specific information about the area and planned intervention.

Project types

Connect different construction tasks with suitable investigations

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

Describe the intervention with location and depth

A utility, excavation and foundation may affect different ground volumes on the same property. Describe the individual works and their proposed dimensions. Existing findings are compared with these. Regional classification provides orientation; the actual construction area and findings required matter for the specific specialist commission.

Specialist services and investigation tasks
Illustration: aerial photographs and maps on two screens and printed on a desk.

Compare historical indications with present conditions

Previous uses and available analyses are spatially assigned to current planning. Overbuilding or changes may make comparison more difficult and are identified traceably. An old report retains its own scope. Further investigation builds on this knowledge without extending it to new interventions merely because the address is the same.

Understanding historical aerial photograph assessments
Illustration: two people review plans and documents at a table beside a construction vehicle.

Prepare the investigation within the construction sequence

Access, known installations and planned construction phases are coordinated before execution. Preparatory work required receives a clear area of responsibility. If it affects the ground itself, it is also assessed by specialists. Scheduling considers outstanding prerequisites and results required before further work relies on their findings.

Coordinate the sequence and tasks
Services in Rhineland-Palatinate

Services for preliminary investigation, surveying and clearance

First, existing knowledge and outstanding questions are clarified. This determines which research or investigation your project needs.

Historical aerial photograph analysis

Aerial photographs, previous uses and available records may provide indications of wartime impacts or military activities. These indications must be assigned to the present construction area. Preliminary investigation records what is known and which information is still missing. Planning of technical measures builds on this.

Research the basis for suspected ordnance

Surface survey

For accessible development areas, route sections and conversion sites, suitable geophysical methods are selected. Ground conditions, fill and existing metal affect measurability. Interpretation must distinguish measurement anomalies, method limits and further investigation needs.

Investigate areas technically

Deep-ground and downhole surveys

For deep foundations, sheet piling and larger excavations, plans showing positions, dimensions and depths and information about the construction method are required. An existing surface investigation answers this task only to the extent that its findings actually cover the ground volume required.

Information about deep-ground surveys

Area clearance

For suspected ordnance areas to be addressed, the clearance objective and scope are specifically defined. Approach, access, protective measures and documentation follow the commission and local conditions. The final report describes areas and depths actually addressed. Its findings relate only to those areas.

Prepare clearance measures

Ordnance specialist supervision of groundworks

In developed areas or where prior measurement is limited, suitable supervision during construction may be required. Its involvement is coordinated with site management and contractors. Before work begins, work sections, responsibilities and the response to anomalies must be established.

Provide specialist supervision of earthworks

Recovery and responsibility in finds

If explosive ordnance is identified, competent bodies must be involved. Private services follow the permit, qualifications, commission and coordination with authorities. The state remit remains decisive for identification, any render-safe action required, transport and destruction as part of specific hazard prevention.

Findings and further steps
Project documents

Documents that establish the next step

Assign findings to the area addressed

Reports and maps describe which area was investigated for which task. The limits of results remain part of handover. A summary communication must not extend the scope. For later construction phases, a traceable check establishes whether their location and depth are already covered or further specialist clarification is needed.

The project file connects existing sources with investigations newly performed. Third-party reports remain identifiable with their date, area addressed and associated appendices. Measurement data and specialist interpretation are assigned to the area actually investigated. A clearance record describes the clearance measure performed and its scope. At handover, site management receives the report and area plans together. For unresolved or inaccessible areas, identify their location and specialist work required before the next intervention.

Keep private services and official tasks traceable

Documentation of the commissioned investigation identifies its specific purpose. In an actual hazard, competent authorities are involved. Both channels are distinguished in project organisation. The private report documents the specialist service performed. Reports of finds and official decisions required follow the respective competent procedure.

Construction companies and operators receive information on prerequisites for the next work section. The area plan and documented investigation limits remain decisive for execution; they are handed over with schedule coordination. If access, construction method or depth required changes, the affected task is compared with existing results. Responsibility for supplementary documents and further coordination is identified. Even when project participants change, specialist evidence remains linked to its actual processing status.

Method selection

Select methods according to the task and survey conditions

Historical records and aerial photographs

Historical aerial photograph analysis and other old records help locate a basis for suspected ordnance spatially. Photographs, their interpretability and area boundaries are connected with the actual construction task. The absence of a visible finding is not a technical investigation of the present ground. Other existing knowledge is included. The objective, area and result documents required are agreed for precautionary private research. Previous uses and subsequent changes retain their documented date reference. This specialist task is distinguished from official action in specific hazards.

Understand aerial photograph assessment

Magnetometric survey

Magnetometry methods record magnetic anomalies. Suitability is assessed according to expected objects, ground conditions, interference and the investigation volume required. Utilities, fences and existing structures may affect interpretation. Signal strength alone does not identify explosive ordnance. Measurement, assessment and further clarification are connected with the specific specialist task. The precautionary investigation receives an agreed spatial scope and appropriate result documents. A finding is classified according to what it actually establishes, without deriving a complete hazard-prevention or disposal commission from the equipment name.

Understand the scope of magnetometry

Electromagnetic methods

Electromagnetic investigations may be suitable for particular metallic target objects and site conditions. Selection considers the findings required, accessible measurement areas and interfering installations, not merely equipment availability. Results are documented with location and actual investigation conditions. Any supplementation required follows from specialist assessment. The permissible private specialist service is described according to the specific construction area and knowledge required. General state or region names confirm neither a uniform method nor identical ground conditions for all locations.

Understand electromagnetic surveying

Ground-penetrating radar

Under suitable conditions, ground-penetrating radar can provide information about subsurface structures and reflections. Ground, moisture and installations affect interpretation. A reflection is not automatically explosive ordnance; an unremarkable area does not confirm arbitrary depth. Specialist interpretation and limits are documented with the commission. An existing radar report is read according to its purpose and coverage. For precautionary explosive ordnance investigation, it is clarified which of its findings suit the construction task and which further specialist question remains outstanding.

GPR and limitations

Deep-ground and downhole surveys

For deeper interventions, it may be necessary to assess whether a surface investigation achieves the findings required or another approach is needed. Positions, depths, reference elevations, drilling-point layout and known utilities are prepared for this purpose. Creating suitable investigation access is also planned by specialists. A standard grid or general depth figure does not replace this task. Precautionary investigation is related to the foundation, route or excavation actually planned. Additional groundworks receive their own comparison with existing knowledge and agreed prerequisites.

Prepare deep interventions

Survey during construction

If a necessary advance investigation cannot be completed, the suitability of a specialist-planned approach during construction is assessed. Investigation, interpretation and communication of findings are connected with the groundworks actually proposed. Merely observing excavation does not replace a necessary survey. Site management receives the allocation of specialist work and outstanding areas to the workflow. The permissible agreed scope and official tasks in specific hazards remain distinguishable. Supervision is not recorded as blanket completion of every question concerning the entire construction area.

Agree the approach during construction
Technical assessment

Distinguish preliminary investigation, investigation and further measures

Relate precautionary research to the construction area

Historical records are connected with the present location and planned groundworks. Specialist analysis describes available indications and their limits. General local history is insufficient for this. Further needs follow from the specific question, existing knowledge and proposed intervention.

For an explosive ordnance investigation before construction projects in Rhineland-Palatinate, historical sources and the present ground are considered together. Documented fill, excavation, dismantling work and changed ground surfaces receive a spatial and time reference. The condition proposed for investigation is identified. A plan before excavation and the later excavation base may have different elevation and depth references. Existing utilities, foundations and other installations are recorded with their location. Method selection is coordinated with the knowledge sought and actual investigation conditions.

Anyone seeking investigation of suspected ordnance land in Rhineland-Palatinate also describes preparatory ground openings and site facilities involving ground interventions. For a specialist task requested as borehole clearance certification, point location, depth and scope of findings required are determined before commissioning. Conditions for a utility section may differ from those for the following deep foundation. Results and measurement limits are therefore assigned to the area addressed. A later relocation or deepening receives a renewed comparison before the relevant work begins.

Consider measurement conditions and investigation objective together

Accessibility, ground conditions and existing installations affect possible methods. The findings required are therefore described before method selection. Limitations belong in planning and results. A partly interpretable area receives a traceable assessment for further work without deriving a statement of freedom from explosive ordnance from missing measurements.

Determine further needs from the results

After work, the questions answered and scope remaining are assessed. Additional measures receive a clear spatial and specialist reference. In specific hazards, competent bodies are involved. A private commission or general construction schedule does not replace this procedural coordination.

Next steps

Connect specialist clarification with the construction sequence

01

Compile the starting situation and construction objective

Provide the site plan, existing knowledge and planned interventions. Identify missing information and alternative construction approaches. The next specialist task can then be determined using the actual project. At first contact, identify the next project decision and first proposed ground intervention. Existing explosive ordnance reports are checked with their complete maps and appendices.

02

Clarify investigation scope and responsibilities

Agree the commissioned specialist service with its prerequisites and results. Official tasks in specific hazards remain separate. Coordination still necessary is considered before the work affected. Where needed, outstanding historical sources are researched using suitable records and aerial photographs and analysed by specialists. The method is selected according to target objects, ground, intervention depth, interference and accessibility. Investigation scope and prerequisites for execution follow from this.

03

Compare conditions before execution

Compare plan version, access and known installations with the investigation proposed. Changes are communicated in good time. Preparatory work required receives its own specialist assessment if it affects the ground itself. Once prerequisites are clarified, the agreed survey or suitable supervision is performed. Data and observations obtained are evaluated and assessed for their significance to the construction task described.

04

Hand over complete results to site management

Site management receives the results report, area plans and documented investigation limits together. The next construction phase is compared with these. New or deeper interventions receive their own assessment where the existing scope of findings is insufficient. The follow-up decision identifies additions or coordination required before the next work step.

Construction sequence

Coordinate investigation and construction sections

Start with documents and the specific construction task

Send the site plan, planned groundworks and existing results. Identify information still outstanding. Specialist coordination determines the further work needed from these. The investigation is thus adapted to the actual task rather than deriving its scope solely from a general regional description or blanket service name.

Coordinate the construction phase with us

Compare results before further work

After investigation, complete reports and maps are compared with the execution proposed. New areas or depths are considered separately. Outstanding questions remain visible to site management. Completion of a section does not justify blanket findings for all later interventions on the entire property.

Coordinate the construction phase with us
Project preparation

Documents and information for project preparation

Describe the planned groundworks in your enquiry and attach existing reports and plans. We check with you what information is still missing for the investigation.

Usage history and previous findings

Provide historical investigations, previous surveys and existing official documents. What matters is whether information is complete and the area or depth to which it relates. The new report must retain identification of information originating from older documents and results newly obtained.

Site plan, intervention depths and construction sequence

Provide the site plan, intervention limits, depths and construction methods, and known utilities and obstacles. Add accessibility, construction phases and timeframe. This information helps adapt the investigation to the size of the area and proposed construction sequence.

Agree reports, plans and data required

Agree early which plans, reports and data are required. Documentation should identify what was actually addressed and which limitations exist. A subsequent change in construction scope may require renewed specialist assessment.

Agree evidence requirements
Documentation

Hand over specialist results and procedural tasks traceably

Findings and their scope

The report describes the task actually addressed with investigated areas, depths and limits of findings. Existing sources and newly obtained results remain distinguishable. For several construction phases, each further task is compared with this scope. A shared property address does not extend the documented area.

Project responsibilities

Precautionary private services and official measures in specific hazards are recorded separately. The agreed commission defines the specialist task and results required. Authorities carry out their measures through the respective competent procedure.

Working approach

How FONTANA-EOD works

Document the agreed specialist service clearly

FONTANA-EOD handles the agreed precautionary specialist task for the designated construction area in Rhineland-Palatinate. Before execution, available knowledge, accessible areas and results required are agreed. The private service actually proposed receives a traceable scope. Changes to planning or local conditions are assessed before the work affected. The report documents the work actually performed and its limits. Site management can distinguish the knowledge achieved from outstanding tasks and any coordination required with competent authorities.

Discuss the investigation task

The task before the equipment

Method selection starts with the knowledge missing for the current construction task. Specialist planning considers existing results, ground conditions and actual circumstances. Available equipment or a comparable project elsewhere is insufficient as the sole basis. Selection is justified for the ground volume required. Prior private research and technical checking retain their respective purpose. Further specialist work addresses the question actually still outstanding.

Keep limitations visible

Inaccessible and partly interpretable areas are identified with their actual limits. Site management can assign outstanding specialist work and additions required to them. A general total-area figure does not replace this distinction. Planning and execution agree when a suitable investigation becomes possible. For separate locations, the knowledge for each construction area remains traceable. A private partial investigation is not passed on as an official statement or complete investigation of all remaining areas.

Clarify changes before intervening in the ground

A new location, additional depth or different construction method is compared with existing results before the work affected. Specialist planning receives the identifiable change to the research or investigation scope agreed so far. Its response and additions required are assigned to the ground volume affected. This also applies to additional work areas or a later construction phase on the same property. An unchanged address or region name does not in itself confirm unchanged knowledge requirements.

Hand over the report and plan together

At handover, reports and associated plan appendices are provided with their area, specialist task and processing status. An overview can list research sources, actual investigations and outstanding tasks separately. It does not replace the documented investigation scope. When planners, site management or companies change, the sources for the private precautionary service and any official responses remain distinguishable. Subsequent execution receives findings appropriate to its groundworks, including specialist limits and clarification still required.

Understand the results

Use technical statements for the next decision

A precautionary investigation answers a specific specialist question

The investigation is agreed in relation to the planned intervention. Its findings follow from available sources and work actually performed. Complete results and limits belong together. A report for one area or a particular intervention is not a general certificate for every later use of the property.

Understand investigation reports and their limitations

Relate regional information to the individual construction area

Location within a city or landscape region may provide indications for preparation. The specific usage history, existing knowledge and planned groundworks remain decisive. Access and ground conditions vary even within one region. The specialist task is therefore determined for your own area rather than derived from proximity to another project.

Questions from planning

Questions about explosive ordnance investigation in Rhineland-Palatinate

Does the state service investigate every construction property as a precaution?

For precautionary historical research and checks without a specific hazard background, ADD refers to suitable private specialist companies. The state service supports authorities in preventing specific hazards.

Who is responsible in a specific hazard?

Generally local regulatory authorities; in urgent danger, the police. The explosive ordnance clearance service supports competent authorities within its remit.

Which documents help with a project enquiry?

A current site plan, description of the proposed groundworks and existing reports with maps and limitations. Information still missing is identified. Agree requirements early before the interventions proposed. The specialist workflow connects document assessment and historical analysis required with method selection, investigation, assessment and documentation.

Does a location on the Rhine or Moselle determine the measurement method?

No. The method is selected using the specific question, existing knowledge and actual investigation conditions. Ground, interference and accessibility affect the findings achievable. Measurement limits actually remaining are documented in the results report with area plans.

Does a report apply to all future work on the property?

Its findings apply to the documented scope. New areas, depths or construction methods are compared with it and assessed further where needed.

What is documented for areas with limited interpretability?

The affected area and limit of the findings available. Further specialist needs are determined separately for interventions planned there.

Which factors determine effort and costs?

The method, area size, depth, interference and accessibility determine the work involved. Preparatory and follow-up work receive their actual service scope. Precautionary private research and checks are commissioned for a fee. According to ADD guidance, the state bears the costs of the state explosive ordnance clearance service; this concerns its hazard-prevention tasks.

What should I do if I find a possible item of ordnance?

Stop the affected work, keep your distance and do not touch or move the object. Inform the police on 110 from a safe distance and follow official instructions.
