Fully revised and updated in 2003 to take into account changes in legislation and best practice. Cranes are some of the most widely operated items of plant on construction sites. But, if misused, they can cause serious harm. This guide gives a thorough step-by-step breakdown of the thought processes involved to ensure that a crane remains stable at all times. It gives information on the various factors which you should consider when planning the use on site of both mobile and tower cranes, including type and choice of crane, loading cases, ground conditions and foundation details. Diagrams, symbols, tables and checklists enhance the text throughout. The guide also includes references to other topical material on the subject, while a number of accident case studies, with dramatic photographs, alert readers to the dos and don'ts of crane use.

This new edition of John Illingworth's popular book provides a thorough introduction to the selection of construction methods, their planning and organization on site. Thoroughly revised and updated, Construction Methods and Planning takes a practical, down-to-earth approach and features numerous examples and illustrations taken from real situations and sites. In Part One, the main factors which determine the planning of construction methods - site inspections, the site itself, temporary works, design, cost concepts and selection of plant and methods - are discussed. In Part Two, the application of these tools is presented, covering foundations and basements, in situ and precast concrete structures, steel frames, cladding, internal and external works, waste, methods statements, contract planning control and claims. The author provides an extension of the concept of 'buildability' and new chapters on facade retention and the refurbishment of domestic accommodation.
