Must Buy for Construction Engineers and Marine Contractors,
By Reece F. Shaw, P.E. (San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Underwater Construction Using Cofferdams (Hardcover)
I have had the pleasure to have worked with Harold Anderson throughout my professional career and am very please to see the transfer of his years of experience with marine cofferdams to fellow engineers by way of his book.The reader will find the book to be a practical hands-on tool. Harold takes the reader through the history and failures, points out many of the pitfalls to be avoided, and has included numerical examples which can be used as design guides. I highly recommend this book to students, professionals, and marine contractors alike.

Practical & Definitive - a must have book,
By Eugene G. Washington (Higley, Arizona USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Underwater Construction Using Cofferdams (Hardcover)
As an author of a cofferdam tutorial and long time designer and builder of cofferdams I am impressed with the research and obersations presented by Mr. Anderson. I learned a few new points. This book presents the details of design considerations and includes practical construction instructions. These procedures are then augmented with a discussion on problems and failures that have been encounterd and the solutions for avoiding or correcting the problems. This is by far the best work I have seen on this subject, comprehensive and to the point. It is a must have manual for anyone who designs and/or builds cofferdams.

Underwater Construction Using Cofferdams is a must read,
By Paul Whitworth of the L.B Foster Company (Hayward,Ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Underwater Construction Using Cofferdams (Hardcover)
Harold Anderson, who received the prestigious Golden Beaver Award for Engineering, has done it again. This book contains technical data for design, as well as, practical suggestions,and wisdom, based on the real life experiences of one of the industry's leading engineers. This book should be required reading for all Civil Engineers, and contractors that design and build bridges, wharfs, and/or docks & piers. Of all the books and journals on cofferdam construction, this one is by far the best.
