"Contractors involved in construction in, or adjacent to, rivers and estuaries are open to a range of construction risks from working in this environment. - Not only the primary risk of flooding, but significant risk also stems from scour, poor ground conditions, site drainage, plant operation, site access and tidal impact. - The construction works themselves may also have an impact on the river including impact on flood water levels, changes to the local river regime, scour or siltation and effects on navigation and environmental impacts such as pollution. - "This Manual assists in identifying and managing risks in works design and construction. - Guidance is offered on risk assessment and management techniques, along with the identification of typical risk issues likely to be encountered in the river and estuary environment. - It is essential reading for clients, project funders, contractors, consulting engineers (both in design and supervision role), insurers and those interested with the risks associated with river and estuary engineering."--BOOK JACKET.

The river and estuary environment pose a range of new and increased risks to the engineer. To complete works successfully the engineer needs to manage these risks such that construction is done safely and to specification, and this book provides guidance in risk assessment and management techniques.

The cost of ever more freguent floods, landslides and erosion on coastal and fluvial structures is considerable. Through more detailed consideration of the risks and their acceptability, the engineering community could make a 5% saving in the whole-life costs of coastal and fluvial engineering projects, amounting to 250 million annually in the UK alone.This book sets out to provide clear guidance on the process of setting acceptable risk levels. It illustrates the importance of involving all stakeholders in the setting of acceptable risk levels and throughout the deisgn process.

This informative manual has been designed to provide guidance on the principal issues surrounding the use of timber in coastal and river engineering. For centuries timber has traditionally been used for the construction of a wide range of coastal and river structures including: groynes, jetties, lock gates, navigation aids and riverbank protection. It is an attractive choice of construction material because it is renewable, is easy to use, repair and recycle, has a high strength/weight ratio and is visually appealing.

Whole life costing is not a new concept. However, thinking about costs has traditionally been segregated into boxes of capital, maintenance, operational and disruption costs, a split often emphasised by divisions of responsibility within organisations. This guide provides the necessary advice and date to break down the barriers between cost boxes so that costs can be considered holistically. This leads to more informed project decisions and can reduce costs over the life of an asset.

Over £500 million is spent on coastal and maritime construction in the UK every year. This work is particularly hazardous due to the hostile environment and uncertainty caused by the combination of storms, waves, currents and tides. At present, there is little health and safety related guidance available to assist coastal/maritime clients, designers, contractors and other stakeholders to ensure this work is undertaken in a safe manner. The CDM Regulations, amongst others regulations, require these parties to consider and assess construction risks.
