Civil engineering project management
Description
The first four chapters of this book show the advantages and disadvantages of various ways in which a civil project can be commissioned, dependent upon the nature of the project and the needs of the project promoter. The recent legislative changes applying to construction contracts are noted, and the various different approaches now being adopted, such as partnering, ‘PFI’ and ‘PPP’ are explained and commented on. The book then sets out in practical detail all the measures and precautions the engineer in charge and his staff of engineers should take to ensure successful management and completion of a project.
The authors draw upon their experience in managing many projects both in the UK and overseas. Thus the book is intended to be a practical guide for project engineers, and a source of information for student civil engineers joining the profession. The author Alan Twort is a former consultant to Binnie & Partners responsible for many projects including the repair or reconstruction of several dams. Gordon Rees is a former Contracts Department Manager for Binnie & Partners and later Black & Veatch. He is now an independent consultant and an accredited adjudicator for ICE and FIDIC civil engineering contracts.
