"This practical guide to deep excavations in rock, including caverns, tunnels, shafts and pits, runs right through the process. It takes practitioners and students facing an engineering career from the initial planning, through design and construction, including closure of contracts, the resolution of disputes and potential court cases, and then maintenance and final closure of underground facilities. It distills John Endicott's extensive practice as a major Project Director and expert witness with successful projects and instances where things went wrong, and also works very well to support an MSc programme and a non-specialist project manager"-- Provided by publisher.
