Ad Hoc

Undertaking something that was not originally planned for or is outside of a normal routine. An ad hoc activity will be carried out to address a specific issue, for example, an ad hoc grounds maintenance task might be the repair of a small area of damaged turf surface prior to commencing or continuing with a planned maintenance activity, such as mowing. An experienced and qualified grounds person will typically be able to adapt to unforeseen issues and address them in an ad hoc way, however, where the same or similar issues keep arising then these would be incorporated into a planned schedule.
