MEC Avoidance




MEC Avoidance MEC or anomaly avoidance is a combination of techniques used by Munitions Response (MR) or Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) personnel at sites with known or suspected Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) contamination. The purpose is to avoid any potential surface MEC and any subsurface anomalies. A MEC Avoidance Team usually consists of at least two MEC qualified personnel. The level of MEC avoidance support required will vary with the level of activities occurring on a site. InfoPro Corporation has provided MEC Avoidance services to dozens of clients in the government and private sector since 1999. For example we worked with the City of San Antonio, TX in the location of a new power line across a former CWM/MEC site; support to the Fort Worth District Corps of Engineers in the drilling of geotechnical sampling and a topographic survey to support the design of a new structure; support to NASA for location of a new road at Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, AL; support to Shaw Environmental to provide surface/near surface avoidance at Ft. McClellan, AL; support to Conti Environmental for avoidance while performing well drilling and soil sampling activities at Ft. Belvoir, VA; support to Tetra Tech for avoidance related to a Biological survey at Ft. Belvoir, VA; and many other clients in support of archeological surveys, soil sampling activities, installation of fences, land surveys, brush clearing activities, and other activities where MEC is known or suspected to be present.
