Description

External Works Roads and Drainage: A Practical Guide bridges the gap between theory and practice in building, construction and civil engineering, providing practical guidance, and the knowledge required 'on the job'.

The book is well illustrated, with flow charts to help guide you through the design process, bullet points and tables.
