A Guide to the Reservoirs Act 1975, 2nd edition Defra, ICE Description: A Guide to the Reservoirs Act 1975 provides expert guidance on the application of the Reservoirs Act 1975, reflecting the current views and practices of the dam engineering profession. This fully updated second edition incorporates the latest amendments to the Flood and Water Management Act, reflecting a more risk-based approach to reservoir regulation. These approaches include reducing the capacity at which a reservoir will be regulated from 25,000m3 to 10,000m3, and ensuring that only these reservoirs assessed as a higher risk are subject to regulation.
Contents: Part A: Introduction to the Reservoirs Act 1975 • Historical perspective on reservoir safety in the United Kingdom • Administration of the Reservoirs Act 1975 • Guidance previously issued • User guide Part B: Reservoirs Act 1975, and the Flood and Water Management Act • Operation of Act, and administration • Latest amendments to the Flood and Water Management Act • New, enlarged and restored reservoirs • Inspections • Monitoring and supervision • Discontinuance or abandonment • Additional powers of enforcement authority • Supplementary • Transitional and temporary provisions
Readership: A Guide to the Reservoirs Act 1975 is an invaluable source of expert guidance for all those involved in reservoir management including the owners or operators of the reservoir; enforcement authorities; civil engineers; panel engineers. Geographical market: UK

Dams: Engineering in a Social and Environmental Context Edited by British Dam Society Description: This book contains the proceedings of the 17th Biennial Conference of the British Dam Society, Dams: Engineering in a Social and Environmental Context. It covers practical aspects which are directly relevant to all who work in the design, construction or management of dams and reservoirs, both in the UK and abroad. Several papers cover the construction of new dams, while many address the issues that arise from the nation’s ageing portfolio of existing dams, where spillway improvements or other works may be needed to comply with current standards or to provide operational improvements. The environmental impacts of all such works must be fully considered, and examples are given where habitat and amenity provision have been integral components of projects. The UK legislative and policy framework is covered, with comparisons to design standards from abroad. Other papers examine aspects of the risks that dams pose to the public, and how to analyse and minimise such risks.
Contents: • The legislative and policy framework within which dam professionals work • Geotechnical aspects of dam design, construction and maintenance • Risk-related aspects of reservoirs and their operation • Construction of new dams in the UK and overseas • The environmental aspects of dam construction and repair • Incidents and remedial works to existing dams Readership: • Coastal and estuary managers/project manager • Marine/Harbour/Hydraulic engineers • Consulting engineers specialising in coastal management

Earthworks: A guide, 2nd edition Paul Nowak Atkins, UK Description: Nothing can be built without some excavation and transfer of soil (or rock) from one part of a site to another and this makes earthworks the most common product of civil engineering operations. Although normally seen as major structures, such as earth fill dams or large highways or railway embankments, the majority of earthworks are connected with minor civil works and building construction. Whatever the type of work, the principles are the same. Earthworks: a guide accumulates information on topics that are essential to earthworks engineering. After a brief historical review, Earthworks: a guide establishes the essential theoretical background to the compaction process and describes some commonly available fills, including industrial materials, both from the construction and the in-service viewpoints. The guide continues with a description of design construction control and monitoring procedures for earth fills, noting that design and control in earthworks are intimately linked. This second edition is updated for changes to standards, legislation and specifications, as well as technological advances.
Contents: 1. Earthworks: an historical perspective 2. The compaction process 3. Some characteristics of cohesive fill 4. Some characteristics of granular and weak rock fill 5. Some characteristics of other natural deposits 6. Some properties of industrial fill 7. Earthworks specifications 8. Investigations for earthworks 9. Design construction control and monitoring 10. Excavation 11. Placement and compaction of fill 12. Cuts 13. Embankments 14. Site safety considerations

Environmental Geotechnics, 2nd edition Robert W. Sarsby Head of Department of the Built Environment, Anglia Ruskin University, UK Description: Environmental Geotechnics, 2nd edition provides engineers with an overview of the key aspects of the environmental interface with the construction industry and discusses a variety of geotechnical topics including some basic theoretical background knowledge, investigation methods and common geotechnical problems. This new edition is fully revised and updated with all standards and regulations. It includes new coverage of geothermal energy and material on the use of natural/renewable materials in construction, e.g. timber, geosynthetics, vegetable fibres. The author, R W Sarsby, is Professor of Civil Engineering and Director for Research and Scholarship of the Department of Construction and Infrastructure (COIN). He has been researching various aspects of the interaction between construction and the environment for over 30 years and has been the Institution of Civil Engineers representative on BSI committees dealing with noise and ground vibrations.

Guidance for Safe Investigation of Potentially Contaminated Land Site Investigation in Construction Series, 2nd edition Site Investigation Steering Group Description: Contaminated land contains particular hazards that require the employment of specialist geoenvironmental services with appropriately trained and experienced office and site personnel, suitable plant and equipment, and high levels of supervision and response. An addition to the Site Investigation in Construction series, this book promotes the use of safe working practices and improves awareness of health & safety. This new edition is up-to-date with the many advances and regulatory changes affecting ground investigation, particularly in respect of contaminated ground, dealing with waste materials and different investigatory techniques, since the publication of the first edition. Guidance for Safe Investigation of Potentially Contaminated Land provides guidance for Employers and their agents, Contractors, Engineers, site operatives and other staff.
