“Having personally completed the mitigation of almost 2000 pieces of UXO using innovative high order, low order, and unique remote ordnance lifting techniques in the UK, Europe and USA, the formation of PG Renewables will allow us to support clients in both development projects and unplanned interventions using proven capability,”
PG Renewables will provide UXO re-acquisition and identification services, offshore and nearshore clearance using divers or remotely operated vehicles (ROV), and explosive disposal through high- and low-order techniques, the company noted.
