IED Clearance Good Practice Guide

Clearance Plan

Title: Al Obady Wheat Store

Organisation Ref: GS006

Consider the most likely type(s) of explosive threat and where it is most likely to be located to define requirements and procedures in a clearance plan

4. Threat summary

Supporting document reference: Threat Assessment GS006 (11 mar 2019) An armed group has probably placed VOIEDs along part of the inside of the perimeter wall as part of a defensive plan. The VOIEDs are likely to have crush wires or pressure plate switches in two lines parallel to the wall at approximately 5 m and 10 m. The main charges are probably plastic and contain 8–10 kg of HME. It is also possible that VOIEDs have been placed in vulnerable points inside buildings to hinder the rehabilitation of the site. It is possible that pressure release switches have been incorporated into some of the IEDs. UXO ranging from 40 mm projected grenades to large air-dropped weapons may be found (some with improvised fusing) throughout the site and cannot be discounted.

Record the results of, or reference to risk assessments examining the security risks and vigilance levels pertinent to the site: N/A

5. Security risk assessment

Supporting document reference: Global Security Risk Assessment AO001 There still exists a threat of criminality in this area. Global security alert states remain at High and corresponding security measures will be upheld. In the event of a security incident the Global security personnel are to take charge of the situation and all staff will move to a designated safe location.

6a. Outcomes and beneficiaries

Record the impact this task may have on the wider community

Supporting document reference: Desk Top Assessment AO002 The wheat store was a new and modern facility before the conflict, purpose built to hold and distribute large volumes of wheat and grain across the province by road and rail. Wheat is currently being held in makeshift storage that is insufficient to meet demand. Once this wheat store is rehabilitated it will provide a key part of a food supply network for hundreds of thousands of people from the conflict-affected community. 6b.

7a. Scope of works Clearance priorities

1. Main CP and access within the site for mechanical clearance and category 2 / 3 search areas. 2. Mechanical clearance WS CHA 2C then G. 3. Technical assessment and clearance of unoccupied buildings in WS CHA 2A. 4. Clearance of known IEDs on the southern perimeter in WS CHA 2F. 5. Technical assessment of the perimeter wall in all areas of WS CHA 02. Once the main CP is established and assessment confirmed, the teams will confirm areas for category 1, 2 and 3 search and areas for technical assessment and mechanical clearance. All search categories will run concurrently, safety distance and resources allowing. On completion, all remaining CHAs / SHAs will be marked and WS SHA 01 will be permanently fenced (not required for full store productivity at this time).
