ABSTRACT: GoldSET (www.goldset.com) is a decision support tool to embed sustainable development principles into engineering projects. A site remediation module allows the application of sustainability principles through the tool to projects within the site remediation context and to promote sustainable infrastructure. It may be used in the development phase of site remediation engineering projects to evaluate the sustainability strengths and weaknesses of options, to assess the current sustainability performance of existing infrastructure, or to prioritize future upgrades depending on sustainability criteria. A variety of case studies for actual sites were evaluated using the tool. Options for environmental management of the site were compared using the tool. This paper summarizes the results of the comparison for the case studies.
