Strategic risks are an order of magnitude greater and, by their very nature. This guide and CD presents an approach to the management of strategic risk, STRATrisk, and an explanation of how to apply the approach. The CD provides video clips and a number of case studies.

This guide begins with a broad overview of mill building structures and their development, illustrated with examples of mill construction details. It then moves on to discuss measures that may be needed to ensure compliance with modern Building Regulations. Historical and modern evidence is presented to show that the robustness of these old buildings must be assessed carefully and guidance is given on how robustness may be improved, where necessary.

Thomas Telford is arguably the most influential civil engineer who ever lived. First president of the Institution of Civil Engineers, he has left an enduring legacy. From the 1790's for four decades, Telford's achievements were second to none in the application of engineering solutions, improved constructional materials and the use of technology. His projects, involving movement of people, goods or water extended to Poland, Sweden, Panama, Canada and India. This celebration of Telford's work marks the 250th anniversary of his birth.

The search for cleaner waters and the need to avoid polluting coastlines, combined with a general desire for expansion, have meant that farmers are constructing farms in ever more aggressive wave environments. This work draws on the international experience of engineers and aquaculturalists in an attempt set up a design philosophy.

These conference proceedings include 41 papers from the Seventh International Conference on Coastlines, Structures and Breakwaters organised by the Institution of Civil Engineers.

This report has been written with the specific aim of opening up the subject presented by the Secretary of State to consider the interaction between engineering, the environment, economics and politics.

Offers guidance to clients on the many ways in which they can positively influence the success of their projects - both during the planning, development and implementation stages, as well as during operation and final decommissioning. This guide presents the examples of good client practice and practice initiatives in the UK construction industry.

Highly illustrated, this history of the various headquarters of the Institution of Civil Engineers traces the journey from the first meetings of a group of young engineers in Kendal's Coffee House, Fleet Street to the grandeur of the present headquarters at Great George Street.

ICE Dispute Resolution Procedures combines in one volume the up-to-date Adjudication Procedure, Arbitration Procedure, Conciliation/Mediation Procedure and Dispute Board Procedure from the Institution of Civil Engineers. The procedures can be used with almost all forms of contract, are applicable throughout the construction industry, and allow for prompt resolution regardless of the size or nature of the dispute. Representing essential knowledge for all those involved in the UK construction industry as well as arbitrators, adjudicators, conciliators, mediators, and dispute board members, the definitive ICE Dispute Resolution Procedures are a vital addition to the library of every engineer and construction law professional.

Civil Engineering Procedure, Eighth edition is an indispensable guide which describes and explains the stages of work for a project from first consideration through to completion of construction and then beyond to handing over the resulting structures and services for use.

The Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement - CESMM - has been well established for over 40 years as the standard for the preparation of bills of quantities in civil engineering work. This revised fourth edition, CESMM4 Revised, brings the method into line with the most recent developments in the railway industry.

CESMM4 Carbon and Price Book has been compiled using the very latest update of the Civil Engineering Standard Method of Measurement (CESMM4). The Price Book incorporates the newest technologies without the limitations of the form of contract or the National Standards.

Update to reflect the latest piling techniques and procurement methods used in the geotechnical sector, this edition is the UK‿s pre-eminent technical specification for piling and embedded walling works, either on land or near to shore.

This book offers practical, engineering-focused coverage of the legislation relating to water management, flood risk and drainage. Owing to the effects of climate change, the tops of drainage and flood defence are becoming ever-more important for the policy-makers, engineers and construction professionals.

RAMP is a structured process for evaluating and controlling risk in major projects and this practical, working handbook is for everyone involved in the financial, commercial, legal or engineering aspects of a project. Providing a framework for identifying, analysing and responding to risks and then placing a financial value on them, the RAMP process covers the whole life of the asset involved, including post-completion reviews and methods for controlling any risks that remain, to increase the chances of overall project success. It can be applied to `hard‿ projects involving construction of physical assets or `soft‿ projects involving business acquisitions or the launch of a new product.
