Japanese Knotweed – Problems Highly invasive weed with the capabilities to expose weaknesses in a building Damage to foundations and the structure Damage to road surfaces Reduction in land value A monoculture swamping out native vegetation Japanese Knotweed – Methods of eradication Direct injection of a herbicide treatment Carefully dig material containing knotweed Incinerated Buried on site once treated using recommendations such as membranes and also monitor the area on a regular basis Site Issues
The Threat of Un exploded Ordnance (UXO) UXO Risks Site contaminated with unexploded ordnance Site contaminated with unexploded ordnance If appropriate measures are not put in place ordnance may be missed putting employees and the public at high risk If appropriate measures are not put in place ordnance may be missed putting employees and the public at high risk Piling is the most violent activity on a construction site so high risks that ordnance could be initiated if uncounted Piling is the most violent activity on a construction site so high risks that ordnance could be initiated if uncounted Methods to identify UXO Methods to identify UXO Explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) Explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) Down-hole intrusive Magnetometer survey of all borehole and pile locations down to a maximum bomb penetration depth Down-hole intrusive Magnetometer survey of all borehole and pile locations down to a maximum bomb penetration depth The provision of unexploded ordnance site safety instructions The provision of unexploded ordnance site safety instructions Explosive ordnance safety and awareness briefings Explosive ordnance safety and awareness briefings Site Issues
Possible Oil Tanks Risks Contamination within the soil A large amount of site clearance to remove all soil which may be contaminated Expensive remedial works New incoming services to replace oil tanks can be very costly Site Issues
