Construction Risk in River and Estuary Engineering by Mark Morris,Jonathan Simm Pdf

"Contractors involved in construction in, or adjacent to, rivers and estuaries are open to a range of construction risks from working in this environment. - Not only the primary risk of flooding, but significant risk also stems from scour, poor ground conditions, site drainage, plant operation, site access and tidal impact. - The construction works themselves may also have an impact on the river including impact on flood water levels, changes to the local river regime, scour or siltation and effects on navigation and environmental impacts such as pollution. - "This Manual assists in identifying and managing risks in works design and construction. - Guidance is offered on risk assessment and management techniques, along with the identification of typical risk issues likely to be encountered in the river and estuary environment. - It is essential reading for clients, project funders, contractors, consulting engineers (both in design and supervision role), insurers and those interested with the risks associated with river and estuary engineering."--BOOK JACKET.

Risk Levels in Coastal and River Engineering by I. D. Mockett,Jonathan Simm Pdf

The cost of ever more freguent floods, landslides and erosion on coastal and fluvial structures is considerable. Through more detailed consideration of the risks and their acceptability, the engineering community could make a 5% saving in the whole-life costs of coastal and fluvial engineering projects, amounting to 250 million annually in the UK alone.This book sets out to provide clear guidance on the process of setting acceptable risk levels. It illustrates the importance of involving all stakeholders in the setting of acceptable risk levels and throughout the deisgn process.

Manual on the Use of Timber in Coastal and River Engineering by Matt Crossman,Jonathan Simm Pdf

This informative manual has been designed to provide guidance on the principal issues surrounding the use of timber in coastal and river engineering. For centuries timber has traditionally been used for the construction of a wide range of coastal and river structures including: groynes, jetties, lock gates, navigation aids and riverbank protection. It is an attractive choice of construction material because it is renewable, is easy to use, repair and recycle, has a high strength/weight ratio and is visually appealing.

Whole Life Costs and Project Procurement in Port, Coastal and Fluvial Engineering by Jonathan Simm,Neal Masters Pdf

Whole life costing is not a new concept. However, thinking about costs has traditionally been segregated into boxes of capital, maintenance, operational and disruption costs, a split often emphasised by divisions of responsibility within organisations. This guide provides the necessary advice and date to break down the barriers between cost boxes so that costs can be considered holistically. This leads to more informed project decisions and can reduce costs over the life of an asset.

Construction Health and Safety in Coastal and Maritime Engineering by Ian Cruickshank,Stephen Cork Pdf

Over £500 million is spent on coastal and maritime construction in the UK every year. This work is particularly hazardous due to the hostile environment and uncertainty caused by the combination of storms, waves, currents and tides. At present, there is little health and safety related guidance available to assist coastal/maritime clients, designers, contractors and other stakeholders to ensure this work is undertaken in a safe manner. The CDM Regulations, amongst others regulations, require these parties to consider and assess construction risks.

Proceedings of the 2023 4th International Conference on Management Science and Engineering Management (ICMSEM 2023) by Suhaiza Hanim Binti Dato Mohamad Zailani,Kosga Yagapparaj,Norhayati Zakuan Pdf

This is an open access book.Management science aims to study the dynamic study of human use of limited resources in management activities to achieve organizational goals: complex and innovative social behavior and its laws. And engineering management refers to the management of important and complex new products, equipment and devices in the process of development, manufacturing and production, and also includes the study and management of technological innovation, technological transformation, transformation, transformation, layout and strategy of industrial engineering technology development. The development or breakthrough of management theory is accompanied by the development and progress of science and technology, and the level of science and technology and the level of management theory in each historical period are mutually adaptive, and it can be said that the progress of science and technology plays an important role in promoting the development of management. At the same time, the rapid development and progress of science and technology give a strong injection to the development of engineering, and provide the possibility for engineering construction can use new technology, new equipment, new technology and new materials. Modern management is an important development direction of management science nowadays. And the use of modern management in engineering has an important role in saving social costs, ensuring project quality, and improving safety awareness and behavior. ICMSEM 2023 will focus on modern management, discuss about the benefits that modernization brings to engineering. ICMSEM 2023 aims to: Develop and advance management science through the study and application of certain issues. Open up new perspectives in the sharing of speakers and inspire the audience to new ways of managing in engineering. Create a forum for sharing, research and exchange at the international level, so that the participants can be informed of the latest research directions, results and contents of management science, which will inspire them to new ideas for research and practice.
