Book Reviews of Moving the Earth, 5th Edition
Book Review: A excellent resource for a construction manager
Summary: 5 Stars
Although this book is intended and best suited for those working full time in excavation, it is also a useful reference for the construction manager/general contractor.
The treatment of excavation methods seen from the viewpoint of those actually doing the work provided additional information and insight for those managing the whole project. The explantions were both detailed and practical, and the pictures and diagrams were helpful. Although the later sections on equipment problably will not be useful to me, I could not help reading them.
A valuable addition to my reference library.
