This article explores temporary works in relations to deep excavations, and the various challenges that come with it.

Synopsis

The Temporary Works Toolkit is a series of articles aimed primarily at assisting the permanent works designer with temporary works issues. Buildability – sometimes referred to now as 'construction method engineering' – is not a new concept and one always recognised as vital to the realisation of one’s ideas; it ought to be at the forefront of an engineer's mind.
