Manual of Sewer Condition Classification - 4th Edition January 2004

Introduction

This was one of the first methods of coding information from sewer inspections in a standardised way suitable for use with computer databases. The concept has since been adopted in many other countries. This document, now in its fourth edition, brings the experience from over 25 years of experience of use in the UK as well as experience from some other countries.

Model forms of contract provide a cost effective way of letting specialised contracts. They give both the client and the contractor confidence in the contract, reducing costs to both parties. This document, builds on earlier documents, brings the experience from over 15 years of experience in sewer condition surveys.

Copies of the document may be obtained from WRc Water & Environment Bookshop.
