Work to prevent a “devastating impact” on Keyham has been done by all involved, a council member has said.
Giles Perritt, assistant chief executive at Plymouth City Council, said teams had used “every minute” they could to get the operation right.
“Officers and partners have been working around the clocks since this incident started to come up with the best and safest solution to deal with this device,” he said.
“I’ve had staff who have turned around on their way home and come back to work to help with this.”
Mr Perritt said “well over 1,000” had been involved behind the scenes and on the frontline.
He also thanked the media for keeping people up to date.
