Best Practices for Environmental Project Teams

Best Practices for Environmental Project Teams, Second Edition helps environmental project teams continuously improve competitiveness and performance on environmental restoration (ER) projects. The book is primarily directed at project managers, environmental engineers, geologists, chemists and resource staff who support one or more project teams (e.g. QC Managers, Health and Safety Managers). Best practices described in this book can be implemented by smaller contractors who directly compete with larger contractors. New topics in this fully revised and updated edition include smart phones, tablets and applications that are being implemented in various ways. Graphics, flow charts and other visuals simplify the learning experience.
