Delays and unforeseen costs inevitably follow when that encounter is unexpected, and the impacts can affect a surprisingly large area. To understand and manage the risks associated with groundwater, expertise is required in the areas of hydrogeology, hydrology, engineering geology, land quality, risk management, communication and planning. In view of the wider context that groundwater plays in support of our society, economy and environment, this Engineering Group Special Publication has been produced, offering best practice guidance and providing a general overview of groundwater in engineering geology, including modelling, risks and management. This book provides a state-of-the-art review and guidance for the management of risks associated with groundwater during design and construction of engineering projects. Engineering Geology of Groundwater in Design and Construction is intended to be practical, informative and to be of use to a wide spectrum of readers from a diversity of backgrounds and employments.
