Originating organisation: Site Investigation Steering Group
Author(s): Site Investigation Steering Group
Year: 1993
Category: Good Practice Guidance
CIRIA summary: This document provides guidance on best practice for safe working in the investigation of landfills and contaminated land. The document first outlines the considerations that need to be addressed before commencing a site investigation (Chapter 2), the contractual requirements (Chapter 3), the bill of quantities (Chapter 4) and insurance (Chapter 5). As part of health and safety, Chapter 4 discusses hazard assessment including categorisation of the site (green, yellow or red site), and the implications for landfill gases and other contaminants. Chapter 5 discusses further aspects of health and safety including preparation, safety plans, site practice, plant and equipment, recognition and treatment of hazards, and personal responsibilities. Personnel requirements from the driller to the environmental scientist are discussed in Chapter 8; field operations are discussed in Chapter 9 and protective clothing and equipment are described in Chapter 10. The Appendices cover boring and drilling plant methods; additional items in the Bill of Quantities; site categorisation; assessment of potentially hazardous sites; site designation/ safety equipment; protective clothing; and membership of the Steering Group.
Chapter headings: Chapter 1. General. Chapter 2. Project requirements (Specification). Chapter 3. Contractual requirements (conditions of contract). Chapter 4. Bill of quantities. Chapter 5. Insurance. Chapter 6. Hazard assessment. Chapter 7. Health and safety. Chapter 8. Personnel. Chapter 9. Field operations. Chapter 10. Protective clothing and equipment.

The Tensioned Fabric Roof
Craig G. Huntington
Reston, VA: ASCE Press, 978-0-7844-0428-7 or 0-7844-0428-3, 2004, 203 pp. (Barcode: RMI MK31536)
The book describes the state-of-the-art design of fabric tension structures. The fundamentals of a fabric structure’s design and construction as required by engineers, contractors, and architects are presented. The book describes the unusual characters of the fabric structure industry and it implications for how structures are marketed, designed, and constructed, included are chapters on the fundamentals of membrane behavior, the possibilities and limitations in roof form, fabric materials, analytical techniques, structural details, fabrication and erection, and non-structural design parameters that include daylighting, energy use, acoustics and fire safety. The book methodically addressed all aspects of the design and construction process. Structural engineers will gain an understanding of shaping, analysis, and design of members and connections; architects will learn the possibilities and limitations in fabric roof form, as well as the means of achieving successful energy, lighting, Acoustical, and fire safety performance; and contractors will receive invaluable information related to their fabrication and erection

The first complete handbook for every aspect of grouting technology The Practical Handbook of Grouting offers the most comprehensive, single-source reference covering all facets of grouting technology, including its application for control of water movement, strengthening of both soil and rock, and a wide range of structural applications. Richly illustrated with hundreds of informative photographs, graphs, and figures, this handbook provides invaluable advice on all stages of a project from initial investigation and design, through execution, monitoring, and quality control.
Broad coverage in the Practical Handbook of Grouting begins with a general overview of the topic and includes design and quality control issues, injection techniques, and a thorough discussion of drilling and grouting equipment, with practical focus on building custom equipment.
Enriched with real-world insights from the author, the Practical Handbook of Grouting features the latest information on:
* Cementitious and noncementitious grouts, including new admixtures and polymers
* Special construction requirements, including grouting inside structures, underground spaces, in extreme environments, and for emergency response support
* Grouting equipment, including pumps, mixers, agitators, and delivery and monitoring systems
* Pump mechanics, including the advantages and limitations of all pump types
* "The Games Contractors Play," including marketing efforts, proposal trickery, on-the-job issues, and defending bad work
Complete with an extensive bibliography and references, the Practical Handbook of Grouting is a valuable resource for civil, structural, and geotechnical engineers, geologists, contractors, and students in related fields.

Volcanic and Tectonic Hazard Assessment for Nuclear Facilities
VOLCANIC AND TECTONIC HAZARD ASSESSMENT
FOR NUCLEAR FACILITIES
Geoscientists worldwide are developing and applying methodologies to estimate geologic hazards
associated with the siting of nuclear facilities, including nuclear power plants and underground repos-
itories for long-lived radioactive wastes. Understanding such hazards, particularly in the context of
the long functional lifetimes of many nuclear facilities, is a challenging task. This book documents
the current state of the art in volcanic and tectonic hazard assessment for proposed nuclear facilities,
which must be located in areas where the risks associated with geologic processes can be quantified
and are demonstrably low.
Specific topics include overviews of volcanic and tectonic processes, the history of development
of hazard assessment methodologies, description of current techniques for characterizing hazards,
and development of probabilistic methods for estimating risks and uncertainties. Examples of hazard
assessments are drawn from around the world, including the United States, Great Britain, Sweden,
Switzerland and Japan.
This volume will promote much interest and debate about this important topic among research
scientists and graduate students actively developing methods in geologic hazard assessment, geolo-
gists and engineers charged with assessing the safety of nuclear facilities and those with regulatory
responsibility to evaluate such assessments.

Product Description:
A practical reference, this book focuses on the serious contaminants that cause fungal infestations, commonly referred to as mold. It provides information on how to counter problems as they occur and how to prevent infestations with proactive measures. It includes chapters on biology and metrics that explore how to approach measuring infestaion and understanding it. It also discusses mold and other contaminant particles, remediation, and repair to provide insight on what to do in the event of a problem. The chapter on epidemiology conveys an understanding of the problem and its magnitude and presents aspects of health challenges. It includes a model for mold growth that can be used to prevent such growth.
