This edition retains the three-part approach of the second edition. Part A is an introduction to the essential concepts necessary to procure a piling or retaining wall contract. Part B is the specification and is still the only part of this document intended for incorporation in contracts. Part C provides guidance for use of the specification and essential background information for specifiers and contractors alike. Unlike the second edition, Part 3 guidance notes immediately follow the relevant Part 2 specification requirements. The three sections provide the reader with a full compendium without being overly prescriptive.

The ICE Specifications for Piling, published in 1988 provided a standard document for the range of different piling construction techniques commonly used in the UK. Here, this specification includes significant changes, and covers embedded retaining walls.

First published in 1996, this updated guide provides practical advice on the use of ICE (Institute of Civil Engineers) specifications and includes a detailed commentary on each section with references to specific clauses. (Technology & Industrial Arts)

This book describes and explains the many features of ground engineering that require special design attention to ensure safety and adequate performance. It is useful for civil and structural engineers code-drafting committees; clients; structural-design students and public authorities.

Annotation "The ICE Specification for Piling and Embedded Retaining Walls (SPERW) is the latest version of this successful specification which was first published in 1988 and subsequently revised in 1996. This latest edition has been updated to reflect the latest piling techniques and procurement methods used in the UK foundations market and to accommodate the introduction of European standards - which provide common structural design rules for everyday use in the design of whole structures and component products. The ICE Specification for Piling and Embedded Retaining Walls is intended for use as a technical specification for piling and embedded walling works either on land or near to shore. It comprises three parts."--Jacket.

Presents a systematic and comprehensive presentation of temporary excavation shoring and earth retention systems used to construct permanent facilities inside them. These systems are used to construct underground pipelines, tunnels, tank and storage facilities, foundations and structures. Each chapter presents a shoring system type description, how it is constructed, equipment requirements, cost analysis, etc. Safety, inspection and testing codes and methods included throughout.
