Follows discovery of devices containing phosphorus last month
A UK-based specialist contractor has been engaged by the Department of Infrastructure to carry out precautionary safety checks before drainage works resume at the airport.
It follows the discovery on the site last month of devices containing phosphorus—believed to date back to the 1940s.
They were safely disposed of the following day by the UK Military Unexploded Ordnance team.
There was no disruption to flights when the devices were initially discovered, and no disruption is anticipated during the upcoming site inspections.
The airport and contractors are maintaining close communication with relevant authorities throughout the operation.
Specialists will arrive on the island next week to conduct a thorough site examination.
Should any additional devices be found, they will be safely disposed of.
The safety assessment and clearance work is expected to take between two and four weeks to complete.
