All civil engineering and construction projects require some sort
of solid foundation, but ground conditions bring some degree of
uncertainty to every project. Dealing properly with uncertainty
over ground conditions can make the difference between the
commercial success and failure of a project.With margins in the
construction industry at historic lows, and with costs of failing
to accurately predict ground conditions becoming increasingly high,
the importance of proper management of the variety of
ground-related risk is paramount.Risk management has demonstrated
its value in many industries, but the full lessons of that
experience has not yet fully reached all aspects of civil
engineering. In particular the importance of individuals and their
own awareness of risks and how to manage them has often been
overlooked.Martin van Staveren has written a new kind of book on
ground risk management. Based on many years of professional
experience and proven risk management techniques, Uncertainty and
Ground Conditions demonstrates how to ensure the construction and
civil engineering projects succeed in delivering on time and on
budget.
