The Compendium Deep Foundation (volumes I and II) has developed in a short time into the standard reference work in the field of deep foundation processes and machinery. The progressive development and innovation in process technology and machinery in recent years provided the impetus for the publication of a completely new reference book, the Compendium Deep Foundation. Numerous descriptive illustrations, high-quality renderings, and on-site photos supplement the descriptive text and should assist the understanding of the reader. The Compendium Deep Foundation is the result of a collaboration of engineers and technicians from contractors and machinery manufacturers and is based on technical regulations, current construction processes and extensive practical experience.
The Compendium is issued by Liebherr-Werk Nenzing GmbH. The authors possess a comprehensive knowledge of the market and have an extensive overview of current processes including the latest developments and well as personal experience from international practice.
