However, this philosophy (i.e. opening or completing a project as soon as possible) would require a new and different design attitude to permit maintenance work to be carried out with minimal effect on routine operations. Limiting the initial cost might be the most satisfactory method of getting the project under way to reap early revenues and benefits. Quality of design and construction-is it adequate? Is sufficient attention in civil engineering given to the quality of design and construction? Need qualityand cost conjict? Proposer B...

The meeting supported the positive controlquality through quality assurance of programmes although, in this respect, the civil engineering industry had much to learnfromthemanufacturing sector. Qualityassuranceprogrammesshould embrace the entire project from conceptual planning through to operation and maintenance. It was suggested that quality assurance should be the responsibility of a single party and independent cost and progress control. of In conclusion, the meeting doubted that sufficient attention was being paid to quality in the design and construction of civil engineering projects...

As a result the preservation and/or enhancement of foreshore levels represents a majorrequirement of cost-effective coastline control in this area. 46.
