The scope of the contract required the location and rendering safe of approximately 5000 tons of ordnance fragments and 25,000 items of unexploded ordnance. This was a manual labor intensive operation under the direct supervision of civilian EOD qualified supervisors. The completion of this project has demonstrated that what was once an exclusive military function can be done in a safe and effective manner by civilian forces.
