The main purpose of a quality control and monitoring programme for a reclamation project is to ensure that the fill mass and subsoil exhibit the behaviour as intended by the designer. This behaviour has to be translated into performance requirements of the fill mass that are often determined by the design of the superstructures (foundations, live loads, etc.) which the reclamation will accommodate in the future. In addition, performance requirements may be subject not only to the loads of superstructures, but also to other external loads such as ground accelerations (as a result of earthquakes) and influences like rainfall. These performance requirements are generally expressed as technical specifications related to  

In addition to the quality and performance of the fill mass, quality control also includes verification of the specified geometry. 

An overview of the most relevant dimensional and technical aspects to be monitored and tested for land reclamation projects is presented in Table 11.1. A subdivision is made with respect to the fill geometry, the fill material properties and the fill mass properties.

DNA analysis, performance of polymerase chain reactions, clinical assays for pH, enzymes, proteins, oxygen etc., trace pollution monitoring and other sorts of biological analyzes are at the focus of recent developments [5]. Another reference lists environmental monitoring (including speciation), clinical monitoring, and quality control in production processes as applications of pTAS equipment in chemical analysis [30]. 

The annual cost of the laboratory analyses required for process monitoring and quality control is a significant item in most modem chemical plants. The costs should be calculated from an estimate of the number of analyses required and the standard charge for each analysis, based on experience with similar processes. 

The results described here demonstrate the importance of appropriate treatment and monitoring in actual drinking water processing plants, with attention to the specific requirements of the raw water matrix in use. In particular, the adverse effect of certain processes, namely pre-chlorination, which has been implicated in the inhibition of biodegradation in subsequent steps, and in the formation of alternative metabolites, is highlighted. Furthermore, the variable efficiency of GAC filtration in practice, emphasises the need for regular monitoring and quality control. The duration of specific process steps has also been shown to influence the efficacy of the technique, and should be addressed in application.

Since Senboku Works II came on stream in 1977, we have used a Cutler-Hammer combustion-type calorimeter for calorific value monitoring and quality control, and a Rauter meter for gas density monitoring.

Chapter 11 Monitoring and quality control, is about monitoring and quality control requirements during and after construction of the reclamation. 

Construction of the reclamation. Construction of the reclamation area includes hydraulic filling to the hnes and levels and Technical Spedlications as set out in the Contract. Generally the construction is carried out by a specialised Dredging Contractor, while a Consultant is often in charge of monitoring and quality control. 

The diagram above covers the total project cycle from its initiation to its use. In a comparable way the principle of System Engineering is adopted in this Manual for the realization of hydraulic fill projects from the definition of the Client s needs to monitoring and quality control of the fill after completion. 

Different approaches can be followed for the process of monitoring and quality control ... 

Performance requirements for reclaimed land may imply that ground improvement has to be performed for subsoil and/or fill material. It is in that case required to monitor and verify the specified effect thereof. Each of the ground improvement techniques listed below requires its own particular method in view of monitoring and quality control ...
