External Works, Roads and Drainage: A Practitioner's Guide
External Works Roads and Drainage: A Practical Guide bridges the gap between theory and practice in building, construction and civil engineering, providing practical guidance, and the knowledge required 'on the job'. This comprehensive book includes sections on legislation, environmental issues, surface water, highway and foul drainage design, road
and pavement design, and external works. The book is well illustrated, with flow charts to help guide you through the design process, bullet points and tables. Written in an accessible style, this guide is an essential reference for engineers, architects, designers, technicians and students looking to increase their design and project planning knowledge.
