Heavy Construction-Planning Equipment

In any major heavy construction venture, overall planning, satisfactory maintenance of equipment, and efficient project management clearly play key roles. This third edition coherently sets out the considerations inherent in all aspects of these themes, and more. It contains sections on:

· project management
· construction equipment
· concrete production and placement
· drilling and blasting

- tunneling

Keeping in view the complexity of heavy construction and the often astronomical costs of the structures involved, this book shows how to reduce both time and cost without compromising on specifications, and how to ensure optimum utilization of men, materials and resources.
