Lakeshore UXO (MEC) Services

Lakeshore Engineering Services, Inc. (LES) can evaluate, investigate and remediate risks and hazards to populace and environment, relating to munitions and explosives of concern (MEC) and Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) that remain at formerly used defense sites (FUDS) and active bases. LES has currently provided MEC and UXO support for the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) group for the Department of the Army.

Investigational and removal activities can be accomplished in different ways depending on the type, density and the site and surrounding conditions. MEC and UXO identification and removal can be accomplished through the means of geophysical mapping and "mag and flag" operations and removal through the use of trained and skilled UXO Technicians and high tech remote equipment for safe removal of MEC.

LES is committed to assist the client to ensure that all objectives are met to reduce risks from these sites keeping safety to human health and the environment as our top priority. LES provides turnkey services by assessing, investigating and providing removal actions on sites containing ordnance, explosives, range residue, and UXO. We always ensure that quality and safety are the top priority on any project small or large. Our goal is to ensure that financial and technical ability is set in order to have the assigned work completed within budget and on schedule.

Lakeshore Engineering Services, Inc. can perform a wide variety of MEC/UXO services and a brief listing is provided below:

• Decommissioning and demolition of explosive contaminated explosive manufacturing plants and load lines
• Thermal and bioremediation of explosive contaminated soils
• Certification of explosives residue free facilities including certification of AEDA and Munitions debris metal (5X)
• Munitions Debris and Range Residue Removal
• Geophysical Investigations and Mapping
• Related radiological/UXO contaminated waste
  

Lakeshore Engineering Services, Inc. can remediate MEC/UXO sites through the following remedial activities:

• MEC location and avoidance
• MEC identification
• Surface and subsurface MEC removal
• MEC decontamination and destruction
• Thermal and bioremediation of explosive contaminated soil
  

Lakeshore has acquired a great deal of experience and knowledge through the combined technical expertise of Lakeshore Engineering Service's skilled and trained staff comprised of management and technicians that have dealt with UXO clearances in CONUS and OCONUS projects.
