Archaeology
and development. A good practice guide to managing risk and maximising benefit
(C672)Archaeological remains are often underestimated as a business risk, which can result in unexpected consequences. At the same time, opportunities to add value by integrating aspects of the historic environment may be underestimated or omittted. This new CIRIA guide provides an accessible source of independent and practical advice and information and is illustrated by a series of case studies.
Management of concrete structures requires an understanding of the deterioration processes involved and the rate at which they proceed. Intelligent monitoring is automated monitoring which explicitly provides information on current condition and deterioration rates to assist in predicting the remaining life of a component or structure. Surface mounted or embedded sensors may be used to monitor various aspects of structural condition, reinforcement corrosion, and the environment in and around a concrete structure.

This fourth edition of CIRIA’s Site safety handbook has been prepared to alert construction professionals to the hazards often present on site, to provide advice on safer practices for themselves and others, and to help them manage these important responsibilities. It has been revised to reflect the recent changes in health and safety regulations.

This companion guide to CIRIA's Site safety handbook (C669) provides practical advice on recognising the health risks that may be met within the construction industry and the best ways to minimise them. The book considers the need for effective management of health on site and the importance of improving the industry's health culture. It highlights the biological, chemical, physical and psychological hazards that may face those working on site. Advice is given on site inductions, personal protective equipment, first-aiders, accident reporting and health screening.
This update takes account of CDM2007 and other recent health and safety legislation.
