One of the major problems facing the construction industry today is disputes. They occupy enormous amounts of time and cost the industry vast sums of money. This book provides guidance and explanation on the various aspects of construction disputes, and should inform the reader as to how best to avoid disputes or to achieve a rapid resolution if already involved in a case. It describes the various stages available for dispute resolution, used as a sequential process, which is designed to commence with private negotiation followed by mediation, conciliation, adjudication, arbitration and, finally, to proceedings in court. The authors are currently all active in the construction industry, and are all deeply involved in all the processes covered. The book brings together a wealth of experience and advice which should prove useful to anyone in the industry or students on appropriate courses. It forms a guide for construction practitioners, at whatever stage of their professional development, and should assist their understanding of the whole process of dispute resolution, in language to which they can relate.

As society becomes more aware of the significance of the environment, such issues become increasingly important. The book exemplifies the vital role of environmental geology and geological processes in understanding the physical environment and the influence and fundamental importance of engineering geology in our modern world, particularly the infrastructure, whether it be foundations, routeways or reservoirs. The influence of geohazards, the significance of soil and water resources, and the impact of mining, waste disposal and pollution/contamination on the environment are all examined in this book. The various aspects of construction that are involved in the development of the infrastructure are also discussed - land evaluation and geological construction materials are therefore taken account of in this context. The book provides a wealth of practical examples and a comprehensive suggested reading list is provided for each chapter.
