IED Clearance Good Practice Guide

ADDITIONAL IED INDICATORS AND GROUND SIGNS RECORDED DURING IED CLEARANCE ACTIVITIES

When the MA searcher / deminer is 4–5 m away from the sign that was originally recorded as a disturbance they are able to observe the sign in more detail (see Image 73).

The searcher / deminer recorded the following observations:

• An area of disturbance approximately 0.5 m to 0.75 m in diameter. This is consistent and assessed to be the location of the main charge. • 1 m to 1.5 m of regularity . This is extremely narrow and is assessed to be the location of an electrical link. • An area of rectangular flattening (0.5 m by 0.2 m). This is assessed to be consistent with the location of a pressure plate switch.

The IED that the searcher / deminer is assessing to be present is:
