Preface Civil Engineering: Supervision and Management Third Edition:
This book covers methods adopted for undertaking the design and construe of civil engineering projects. The options for separate design and construction compared with design and build projects, construction management, and m agement contracting. The salient differences are shown between the various ditions of contract used. The roles of the engineer, employer's project manage his representative under different forms of contract are compared. Requirem for the production of contract documents, specifications, tendering proced and choice of contractor are set out.
The engineer's powers and the duties of his resident engineer on the site of construction are considered in detail. Records, filing systems, programme and progress charts used by the resident engineer are illustrated, and advice is given on the handling of safety problems and difficult situations on site.
Problems of measurement and billing of quantities according to the civil engineering standard method are described. Correct procedures for setting rates for varied work, payment for method-related items, and handling claims for unforeseen conditions under ICE Clause 12 are given. Difficulties with delay claims and situations where the contractor submits quotations before undertaking varied work are discussed.
The approach is essentially practical throughout and covers many actual problems met on site, including measures that are advisable in relation to site surveys and investigations, construction of earthworks and pipelines, and the production and placing of concrete.
The authors acknowledge with thanks the assistance received from the consulting engineers Binnie & Partners, whose long experience of handling major civil engineering projects in the UK and abroad has been of great benefit to the authors. The views given in this book are, however, our own.
