While the basics of construction equipment and methods are still the
core of this book, knowledge of emerging technologies is of critical
importance in delivering quality. Two new chapters have been added to the
10th edition; “Trenching and Trenchless Technologies” and “Virtual Design
and Construction.”
Trenchless technologies are used to place a wide variety of utilities, from
small-diameter cable and conduit installations, such as electric and
communications lines, to large-diameter utilities such as water and sewer
distribution lines and oil and gas pipelines. Depending on the needed width
and depth of a trench excavation and the hardness of the material being
excavated, there are specifically designed machines suitable for
economically and safely accomplishing the work.
