ALGA/WasteMINZ’s Sustainable Remediation in Practice: Online Workshop Using the SURE Tool

 

Join Louise Wilson, Stephen Maxwell and David Tully for a practical online workshop on applying sustainable remediation principles to contaminated site decision-making.

The session will provide a short introduction to sustainable remediation and the role of environmental, social and economic considerations in remediation planning. Participants will then work through a hypothetical case study using Ramboll’s SURE tool to assess and compare remedial options.

Using a shared online workbook, participants will score selected sustainability indicators, then review the combined results and discuss how indicator selection, scoring, and weighting can influence outcomes. The session will conclude with questions and discussion.

What to expect

  • A short introduction to sustainable remediation and its practical application.
  • An overview of sustainable remediation assessment tools, including the SURE tool.
  • Introduction to the hypothetical site and remedial options to be assessed.
  • A facilitated workshop using a shared workbook to score selected sustainability indicators.
  • Live review of the combined results in the SURE tool.
  • Discussion of indicator selection, scoring and weighting, and how these can influence outcomes.
  • An opportunity for questions and answers.

 

This workshop will be particularly valuable for contaminated land consultants, environmental scientists, remediation practitioners, regulators, project managers, asset owners and sustainability professionals involved in remediation planning, options assessment and project delivery. A live Q&A will happen throughout, and the session will be recorded.
