Clearance of land using MCSOF - Advanced Level

This advanced course focuses on effective clearance of land using the MCSOF method.

Cource Objectivs

The aim of the course is to provide a fundamental understanding of how the clearance process for land can be planned and executed. The course includes examples and exercises to equip participants with the tools needed to independently plan and carry out remediation campaigns and clearance measurements, while also demonstrating that the work has been performed in a cost-effective manner.

Target Audience

Professionals involved in planning clearance projects for building structures and areas. 

Prerequisites

• Previously completed course on clearance
• University education at master's level or substansial experience in operational clearance

Course instructor

Jonatan Jiselmark

The method is suitable to implement already in the planning stage and is then used during the remediation phase, measurement-, and evaluation phases. MCSOF provides you with the arguments you need to justify that the site is clean and does so in a communicative way. The method also gives you the cost parameters you need to plan the project as efficiently as possible. For example, it is possible to compare how different measurement scopes and remediation actions affect the clearance feasibility, each with different cost parameters.
