Prepared by Horizontal Auger Boring Task Force of the Trenchless Installation of Pipelines Committee. Sponsored by the Utilities Engineering and Surveying Institute of ASCEHorizontal Auger Boring Projects, Second Edition, is a comprehensive manual of practice covering horizontal auger boring techniques for pipeline crossing. The objective of this second edition of MOP 106 is to present current practices for the planning, design, and construction of pipelines under highways and railroads using HAB. These cost effective and versatile techniques can also be applied to various utility installations crossing under or parallel to roads and streets.This manual is divided into seven sections. The first section provides an overview of HAB and other trenchless alternatives. The second section provides details of the HAB system, including system components, recent innovations, and variations of the HAB system. The remaining five sections provide information on the planning phase, geotechnical investigation, design phase, and construction phase of a horizontal auger boring project.This MOP will assist engineers, contractors, and owners involved in new pipe installation projects using HAB methods to design and carry out projects effectively and safely.

Managing Mass Timber: A Guide to Delivering Large-Scale Mass Timber Construction Projects equips both practitioners and students with in-depth operational knowledge essential for constructing large-scale mass timber (MT) structures.As mass timber construction continues to grow at an unprecedented pace, this textbook provides readers with the foundational knowledge required to successfully deliver MT construction projects. Grounded in widely taught theoretical frameworks from construction project management, the book focuses on the operational aspects of mass timber within the context of the five core pillars of construction management: Safety, Quality, Cost, Schedule, and Sustainability.This text also explores the historical development of mass timber, supply chain logistics, risk management, relevant codes and standards, and other key operational aspects. It integrates core principles of project management and lean manufacturing, which are fundamental both in academic settings and professional practice. To support both students and instructors, the book includes chapter summaries, test questions, and real-world case studies.This is the first textbook designed specifically to prepare readers in architecture, engineering and construction management (AEC), and related fields to effectively understand and manage the mass timber construction process in the field.
