Power Plant Construction Management: A Survival Guide

Veteran mechanical engineer Hessler offers economic guidance and support to people charged with managing the building of a new power plant or the rebuilding or modifying of existing components. Assuming that readers already know how to do the actual construction work, he focuses on performing the tasks in a cost efficient manner for the benefit of the financial stakeholders of the project at hand. His topics include understanding the contractual commitments, risk management, managing safety performance, cost control of site activities, and doing it overseas.
