The treatment and disposal of wastewater is an issue, which is currently being rigorously addressed in European Community Directive and UK regulations, bringing increasing financial and technical pressure to bear on companies in the water industry. This book presents studies of the ways in which water companies have been implementing the legislation, and translating the costs of meeting ’Regulations’ into measurable environmental benefits. Individual schemes are reported, highlighting the technological advances being developed to meet legislative requirements. The topics covered pr

During the 1980’s, a number of high quality, large scale pile tests, sponsored by the offshore industry, Department of Energy and EEC, were performed at onshore locations in clays similar to those encountered in installations in the North Sea. At the same time, research was being carried out to instrument and monitor the piled foundation beneath one leg of the BP Magnus platform in order to determine the actual loads imposed on the piles and seabed by the structural and environmental forces. The data from this research was released to the public domain for the first time at a conference

The book�s argument moves from discussing the relation between law and power. Theories defending the primacy of law over power are played against doctrines which center around the prevailing role of law. Legal positivism and natural law are here the real issue at stake. Constitutionalism and the rule of law are then seen as a development of the modern natural law tradition. But the book�s main move is a consideration of law as a phenomenon possibly connected with language. Once traditional imperativist strategies are seen as unsatisfactory, and nevertheless law is accepted as being a social fa

This handbook has been produced to introduce the engineer to accepted economic principles of evaluation and to demonstrate the application of current techniques to the solution of problems of the kind which the engineer is likely to encounter during the course of his professional work. The preparation of an economic evaluation of a project as a basis for investment decision is of increasing importance. The basic principles of such evaluations are outlined in the chapters but those who require a more detailed exposition of the subject should refer to some of the works listed in the bibliography
