| Long description: |
Quality is in some ways difficult to define, it has an element of general
excellence, but quality management standards create a formality about quality
that implies the use of measurement and monitoring in order to ensure a
consistent standard of product or service. Much of the current land remediation
guidance concentrates on advice on how to carry out certain tasks (e.g. desk
studies or borehole sampling), the minimum requirements of those tasks and the
expected outcomes. There is less emphasis on ensuring that the processes that
are used are correct and will lead to correct decision-making. A quality approach
takes a holistic view of the remediation process. The issues that impact on the
technical, social, environmental and economic aspects of site remediation need
to be considered. The benefits of quality in land remediation are in reduced
failures of remediation, greater consistency for clients and stakeholders and for
improved decision-making. The quality approach should result in better
adherence to time and cost of the project. There is a perception that quality
comes at a cost that clients are not willing to pay, however, investment in quality
should result in risk reduction and cost savings for all parties in a remediation
project.
