Application of partnering to a Superfund remedial action: Moyer Landfill case study
Partnering is a concept which is fast gaining acceptance in the construction industry as a mechanism for improving project quality while reducing conflict, litigation and claims. It is a process based on trust and an open, honest attitude in which all participants in a project recognize both common and individual objectives and work to achieve those objectives through improved communication and cooperation. The US Army Corps of Engineers is a proponent of partnering, having successfully implemented die concept at a number of large military and civil construction projects. However, the application of partnering to superfund projects is relatively new. This paper will present a case study of the application of partnering to the remedial action at the Moyer Landfill Superfund site. A partnering agreement was entered into by all of the participants in the remedial action: the Army Corps of Engineers, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Pennsylvania Dept of Environmental Resources, Conti Environmental, the Contractor and Paul C. Rizzo Associates, the design engineers for the Government. The paper will outline the partnering process as applied to the Moyer site, and present examples of issues which were addressed and resolved during the construction process. The paper will present the opinions of participants as to the success of partnering in meeting their goals and objectives and contain suggestions/lessons learned for future construction applications.
