New Publications – June 6, 2008
The Construction Industry Research & Information Association (CIRIA) in the UK says it is updating its publication Cost standards for dredging equipment 2005 (C655).
The new up-to-date guide will build on the success of the 2005 publication, which sold more than 660 copies worldwide, making it vital for all those involved in the dredging industry.
As with the 2005 edition, the new publication will describe the characteristics of the various common types of dredging equipment.
It will examine the philosophy behind the internationally accepted costing conventions prevalent in the industry. On the basis of more than 40 years of data, it will give information allowing the non-direct costs relating to dredging equipment, the amortisation, maintenance and repair, to be estimated, allowing these to be incorporated into a detailed estimate of a dredgers running cost.
