Trench collapses cause a number of deaths and injuries every year in the UK. All clients, designers and contractors concerned with trenching work are therefore urged to study this guide to safe practice and act upon its advice. The recommendations made here apply to the design and use of temporary support for trenches up to 6 m deep. The guide alerts the user to the wide range of problems in the variety of the site and soil conditions that are likely to be met in practice. The emphasis is on safe design and methods of work and particular dangers are highlighted. Both those with limited experience in trenching operations and experienced trenching practitioners will find this guide invaluable. The illustrations should be particularly helpful for training and communication with site operatives.

This book provides guidance on the fresh state rheological properties of concrete appropriate to a range of construction methods, operations and environments. It advises designers, specifiers, planners, concrete suppliers and contractors on how to achieve the required properties in practical conditions through appropriate mix design. Developments in construction techniques and in the constituent materials for use in concrete mean that concrete mix designs can be matched to the particular requirements of modern transporting and placing methods, in a wide range of locations and ambient conditions. This is fully covered in this report, with case studies to illustrate the principles involved.
