Not your usual day at the office at our Cardiff site this week, when our experienced Plant Operator, Shaun Schroeder, uncovered a potential unexploded WW2 bomb. Thankfully this proved to be nothing more than a previously buried gas bottle that was uncovered during our works, the gas bottle has now been disposed of and site has reopened as normal work resumes.
We thank the local police force and the Joint Service Explosive Ordnance Disposal squad for their fast response to the situation.
