Introduction to Engineering Construction Inspection offers
expert tools and advice on construction inspection for buildings and
civil engineering projects, including construction of roads,
highways, pipelines, reservoirs, water and wastewater projects,
hydroelectric, and other large engineered projects.
More than 150 informative illustrations supplement expert
coverage of the activities and processes involved in observing and
documenting a project through the construction phase–from initial
site work and geotechnical work to major engineered structural
systems in concrete and steel, and project acceptance by the owner.
