ABSTRACT
The solutions the industrial/commercial site owners and remediation service companies are looking for can be found in modern project management techniques. In an attempt to control costs, the customers have adopted more stringent procurement techniques and types of contracts. Time and materials contracts are a thing of the past. The environmental remediation refers to the performance of engineering projects designed to remedy or restore environmental media, particularly soil and groundwater, degraded by chemical compounds that may pose a threat to human health and the environment. The various environmental laws and regulations that have been developed to ensure the protection of human health and the environment are drivers for the industry. Some of the greatest changes in the environmental remediation industry have been in the structure of the market itself. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.
