Publisher's Synopsis
The first edition of this book, published in 1954, is now dated due to the advent of major changes in surveying, computational and mapping techniques. This new edition is a compact source to the key site engineering topics of site survey and mapping, re-grading, site drainage analysis and control, and site development structures. New coverage includes CAD-produced maps and areas such as laser technology, water conservation, environmental impact and the use of the ground for thermal buffing.
