Factors impacting construction project duration: A comparison between France, Germany and the UK (1998)
Journal Article
A survey of contractors planning engineers in France, Germany the U.K. indicates significant differences between projected completion times for an identical model building. Completion times are shortest in France, followed by Germany and then the U.K... Read More about Factors impacting construction project duration: A comparison between France, Germany and the UK.
A method for estimating labour requirements and costs for international construction projects at inception (1998)
Journal Article
At project inception stage, a quick and reliable method of estimating labour resource requirements and cost, is desirable. This paper presents a fresh approach in that ambition. During inception, while design information is at a premium, cost forecas... Read More about A method for estimating labour requirements and costs for international construction projects at inception.
A comparative evaluation of planning engineers' formwork productivity rates in European construction (1998)
Journal Article
A bespoke methodology is utilised to analyse and compare the productivity rules of contractors' planning engineers, for in situ concrete formwork operations amongst three European construction industries, namely those of Germany, France and the U.K....

Scaffolding for high-rise concrete construction: A French, German and UK comparison (1998)
Journal Article
An international investigation concerning selection of scaffolding systems for a seven-storey in situ concrete-framed building, by contractors' planning engineers in France, Germany and the UK is presented. Findings indicate that preferred methods di... Read More about Scaffolding for high-rise concrete construction: A French, German and UK comparison.
Periglacial patterned ground on the Styggedalsbreen glacier foreland, Jotunheimen, southern Norway: Micro-topographic, paraglacial and geoecological controls (1998)
Journal Article
Several types of periglacial patterned ground have developed rapidly in the frost-susceptible sediments of degraded 'annual' moraines deposited between c. AD 1930 and 1973 on the glacier foreland of Styggedalsbreen, western Jotunheimen, Norway. Detai...

Channel form, bed material and sediment sources of the Sprongdøla, Southern Norway: Evidence for a distinct periglacio-fluvial system (1998)
Journal Article
A geomorphological and sedimentological case study is made of the Sprongdøla, a medium-sized river flowing in a predominantly bedrock channel in the mountains of southern Norway. Particular attention is given to bed material characteristics and poten...
