It discusses the assessment of ground gas for Part II A sites and also includes information on the assessment of vapours. It provides information on gas generation and the analysis of gas flows in the ground, including the design of gas protection systems. It explains how to use the most recent assessment methods published by CIRICA, NHBC and BSI and highlights the differences between the various methods. It includes advice and recommendations about the validation and testing of protection systems as they are installed. Worked examples help explain the concepts and calculations.Landfill gasesWaste gasesLandfill gases.Waste gases.628.53Wilson Steve(Civil engineer)1857620Card Geoff1798835Haines Sarah1798836MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910956160303321Ground gas handbook4458547UNINA
