The task group was established at the start of 2023 to discuss the updates required and then produce guidance notes forthe use of clients, consultant engineers, contractors and any other interested party.  \nAfter 28 years, great care has been taken to ensure the second edition has been updated to reflect current working practices as well as looking to the future for planned advancesand potential breakthroughs.
