Publisher's Synopsis
Environmental issues will arise in any construction project, irrespective of the location, size or nature of the development, and have the potential to have an impact on the immediate surroundings, and both the natural and built environment. These impacts can take many forms, and can include effects on surrounding flora and fauna, watercourses, noise or pollution. Good environmental practice enables these impacts to be managed positively. This fourth edition to the popular EGP guides is a user-friendly reference tool and training aid, and provides practical advice about managing construction on site to minimise environmental impacts. It is relevant to all concerned within the construction process. Good environmental practice starts with planning for good site management.
