Design of flood storage reservoirs (B14D)

This book is intended primarily to assist the practising engineer with the detailed design of flood storage reservoirs for flood control in partly urbanised catchment areas. Individual sections deal with the causes and prevention of flooding in urbanised drainage areas, design flood estimation, flood routing, water quality, detailed engineering design and the operation and maintenance of reservoirs. It contains a step-by-step... Details

Brownfield and contaminated land development book set (BOOKSET2D)

This suite of good practice guidance deals with land contamination issues and the challenges faced by project managers, consultants, contractors, clients, site operators, regulators and local authorities. Topics considered include:

• advice to help overcome the barriers and issues that can obstruct the development... Details

Engineering in glacial tills (C504D)

This guide draws together current understanding of the origins and formation processes of tills, the land systems that they create and in which they are found, their distribution within the UK glacial stratigraphy, and how they are classified. It links this geological background to the engineering and classification of tills, giving the typical ranges of their properties. Guidance for engineering in tills covers site investigation,...

Regional seabed sediment studies and assessment of marine aggregate dredging (C505D)

Assessing the likely effects of altering the seafloor profile is becoming increasingly important when considering the installation of pipelines, building structures and dredging for marine sand or gravel. Government, local authorities, environmental bodies and others all require more accurate means of predicting the consequences of seabed sediment removal on the coastline, fisheries,... Details

Low-cost options for prevention of flooding from sewers (C506D)

An essential reference book for all engineers, planners and designers involved in constructing or maintaining drainage works. Some 32 000 properties could be at risk of flooding from sewers in the next 10 years. As well as being a key issue for the owners and occupiers of those properties, it is one that has important implications for sewerage undertakers and the water industry regulator (Ofwat).

Operation and maintenance manuals for buildings - a guide to procurement and preparation (C507D)

It has never been more important for owners, occupiers and maintainers to keep accurate records of their buildings. As well as the need to comply with a growing body of health, safety and environmental legislation, there is also mounting pressure to limit the costs of using buildings. An operation and maintenance (O&M) manual is a valuable tool to help achieve these... Details

Guide to developing effective learning networks in construction (C508D)

Learning networks are a powerful mechanism for spreading good practice in all aspects of construction work and for encouraging effective innovation. However, there is confusion over what constitutes a 'learning network' and how it may best be employed to benefit a company, individuals or the industry as a whole. This book aims to address these issues in a clear, logically structured way. It... Details

Integrating safety, quality and environmental management (C509D)

This publication examines the relationship between health and safety, quality and environmental management systems as they operate on a range of construction projects, and suggests how the management of these issues can be integrated, principally for on-site works. It includes good practice guidance in the area of integrated management and is an invaluable source for the construction industry in... Details

Environmental issues in construction - a strategic review (C510D)

UK and European legislation, the rising cost of landfill, financial and social drivers to minimise waste, and the increasing sensitivity of society to environmental issues all greatly affect the construction industry. With this in mind, CIRIA conducted a survey into the state of environmental initiatives within the industry. This study also responded to a need identified by the Foresight (Construction)... Details

Controlled permeability formwork (C511D)

Controlled permeability formwork (CPF) systems are designed to produce high quality, defect-free, durable concrete surfaces. This publication reviews in detail CPF systems and includes practical guidance for designers, specifiers, formwork designers and contractors. The various CPF systems that are commercially available are described, together with their specifications and techniques for enhancing the surface of concrete is... Details

Environmental handbook for building and civil engineering projects. Part 1: design and specification (C512D)

This is the first of three handbooks containing information and practical guidance on the environmental issues that are likely to be encountered during the key stages of a building or civil engineering project: design and specification, construction, and demolition and site clearance. The handbook aims to inform all those involved of their various obligations... Details
