An engineer's survival guide
Geotechnical and civil engineers, this is one book you can't afford to be without. The first and only complete guide to subsurface engineering risk management, Subsurface Conditions arms you with the knowledge and expertise you need to prevail over one of the greatest challenges you face--professional liability.
Writing in logical, concise language that is easy to grasp, engineering and legal professionals from some of America's top firms share what they know about all nontechnical aspects of underground construction. With the help of many instructive case studies, they guide you through the essential ins and outs of contracts, insurance, risk exposure, liability allocation, dispute resolution, and more. And--just as importantly--they provide guidelines and action steps for identifying and avoiding foreseeable professional hazards as well as surviving the unforeseen.
