Opinion of tools
Name der Fallstudie
Gowerton Outfall
Name of tool
AMP 3 Process Map
Opinion of tool - argumentation for choosing the tool
All of the tools were implemented on the project at Gowerton because:<br>
• Morrison Construction believe that the tools incorporate the current ´best practice´ industry techniques relevant to the work the organisation does. <br>
• Every Morrison site uses the tools included.<br>
• The tools used are generally legislation driven, the result of industry best practice guidelines or devised by the company ecologist.<br>
• The tools/processes used are constantly evolving to fulfil the necessary requirements. This process highlights the requirements to those that might not be aware of such requirements. Continual improvement is therefore achieved in a controlled manner through Morrison Constructions Quality Improvements System, which ensures the sharing of information as well as the improvement of procedures. </p>
<p>A key driver for the design and use of the Process Map is to achieve the International Standards of ISO 9000 (Quality), 14000 (environment) and 18 (safety).</p>
Opinion of tool - barriers for the tool implementation
As the tools have been implemented on other projects by members of the project team there were limited problems.</p>
<p>It was stated that only benchmarks that are really needed want to be used in the process.</p>

Opinion of tool - assessment by tool users
The implementation of an integrated approach and the application of construction best practice techniques have been the key to securing a sustainable solution on the Gowerton Outfall project. This approach is applied on all AMP 3 projects throughout South West Wales and is the foundation for the AMP 3 Process Map.
Each step of the process may now have a sub process to explain each step in detail. For example, the construction process is shown in one stage on the process map, a "construction Process Map" is currently being designed based on the same principles of the main AMP3 Process Map, i.e. a guide to carrying out the construction process.
A similar restoration technique could be employed for other saltmarsh sites if the Loughor restoration proves to have been successful. This will not be known until after the monitoring period (at least 2 years).
All staff of Morrison Construction have to attend an induction course when they join the company ? responsibilities relating the Process Map and the tools within it are highlighted at this meeting. The Process map has been accepted by Morrison Construction and the South West team within Capital Alliance as a company procedure to be followed by all projects. There are plans to incorporate a feedback loop throughout the procedure to ensure that modifications are made wherever possible to allow for projects to sustainably improve over time. Information from previous projects is not used as much as it could be.
Opinion of tool - reviewer\'s assessment
The production of the Process Map within Morrison Construction has indicated a real commitment to information sharing and the incorporation of sustainability issues into the process of each infrastructure job. This enables all staff to have a clear view of the decision making process involved within a project. This is supported by training to introduce the concept to new members of staff at all levels.
More emphasis should be placed on recording the actual pathway taken throughout the process i.e. where modifications are made and this should be fed back to management groups to ensure that good practice is maintained and transferred between projects.
The Environmental Impact/Aspect Register and Risk Assessment provides a comprehensive list of environmental issues that should be considered when carrying out works. This tool takes a step further from other tools that are similar in that it provides mitigation measures. The negative side is that this assessment is only carried out on one occasion at the detail design/ construction planning stage of a development.
