Publisher's Synopsis
This is part of a 12-volume set, which presents a complete guide to modern power station practice. Volume A covers station planning and design including power station siting and site layout, and station design and layout.;The planning and design of new power stations can involve complex interaction between the many engineering disciplines involved, as well as environmental, planning, economic, political and social pressures. This volume aims to provide a review of the procedures involved in power station development. The engineering aspects are outlined in detail, with examples, showing the basis of the relationships involved, together with "non-engineering" factors so that the engineer can draw on the information provided for specific projects. The civil engineering and building of power stations are also treated, from the earliest planning and site selection studies, through estimating, finance and quantity surveying to final landscaping.
