    Notes: Reviews the application and design of systems using sealedexpansion vessels from circa 1967 to the present day, incorporating alltypes of systems. Discusses the fundamental differences andcharacteristics between open vented and sealed expansion vessel systems,and also the attitudes of water authorities to both commercial anddomestic systems. Compares this with other western countries.Investigates whether there have been any inherent disadvantages of usingsealed systems and concludes by considering current appropriate Britishstandards and codes of practice together with the terminology used insome instances, which tend to create unfavourable impressions of sealedsystems.

    High rise refurbishment: a brave new world or old problems recycled (1995)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Structural survey 13 (1995), S. 22-24 
    Details
    ISSN: 0263-080X
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Surveying
    Notes: Government funding is directed towards the refurbishment ofrun-down high-rise blocks and estates of local authority housing throughEstate Action. While glossy annual reports advertise excellent results,what independent evidence is there to support the policies recommendedby PEP and Estate Action? The number of follow-up surveys is extremelylimited. When the sums of money spent annually through Estate Action areconsidered, this unaccountability is surely not acceptable.Additionally, on a local scale, individual local authorities should takethe time to discover whether or not their schemes have been assuccessful with the tenants as they were intended to be and to ensurethat any feedback is incorporated into future projects. Tenant surveysof two refurbished high-rise tower blocks have been undertaken. Theintention was to determine the levels of tenant satisfaction andrelative success of the two schemes. Were these schemes an effective andefficient use of funds? Have they solved at least some of the wide rangeof problems which tower blocks such as these typically experience?Additionally, estate managers were interviewed to determine their viewson the relative success of each scheme. Have these schemes indeedmanaged to "improve the quality of life of run down housingestates through refurbishment, tenant/ management initiatives andpartnerships with the private sector..." (Sir George Young, 1985speech as Minister for Housing and Planning, launching the Urban Housingand Renewal Unit (UHRU) later to become Estate Action).

    Notes: The first English House Condition Survey (EHCS) was carried out in1967. It was repeated in 1971, and since that time there has been asurvey every five years. The scale and complexity of the survey, thetechnical methods employed and the extent of its use by the Departmentof the Environment and other government departments have changeddramatically since the early days. Describes the history of the surveyand documents how EHCS has grown with increasing understanding of thehousing system, both leading and responding to concerns of the day. Alsodescribes how it has continually strived to improve its methods andmeasuring tools to match the demands for more detailed, accurate andreliable information.

    The consolidation and repair of standing ruins: medieval churches in Norfolk: part II (1996)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Structural survey 14 (1996), S. 48-55 
    Details
    ISSN: 0263-080X
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Surveying
    Notes: Points out that ruins have long held a fascination for those concerned with images of picturesque charm or sublime horror. Recent attitudes have broadened in an appreciation of the potential that standing ruins and their sites have for students of architecture, archaeology and landscape history, while many are now examining the roles that these remains might also have for the flora and fauna of a particular location. Examines the work that is being undertaken to consolidate and repair a number of ruined churches in the county of Norfolk and illustrates how such work can broaden the base from which other projects may be undertaken. Part I considered how a group of standing ruins had been seen to provide sufficient social and economic value to justify a significant investment of public money. Part II discusses the practical issues raised by such work.Quality indicators Research implications** Practice implications** Originality** Readability***

    The development of ground floor constructions: part 1 (1997)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Structural survey 15 (1997), S. 109-112 
    Details
    ISSN: 0263-080X
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Surveying
    Notes: Explores the development of ground floors in residential buildings. Highlights the lack of detailed studies into this aspect of construction technology. Suggests that a multidisciplinary approach is needed to clarify the chronology and form of ground floors in old buildings. Considers the various types and traces their evolution. Indicates that suspended timber ground floors became more common after the mid-nineteenth century.

    ISO 9000 quality assurance in Singapore's construction industry: an update (1997)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Structural survey 15 (1997), S. 113-117 
    Details
    ISSN: 0263-080X
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Surveying
    Notes: Five years have elapsed since the introduction of ISO 9000 Quality Assurance in Singapore's construction industry in 1992. By the end of 1996, more than 80 construction-related organizations had secured ISO 9000 certification. In 1995 the Singapore government announced that the larger construction and consultancy firms must secure ISO 9000 certification before 1999 if they are to bid for public sector construction projects. Proposes to determine whether or not local contractors believe that ISO 9000 would reduce the costs of doing business and raise the quality of construction works; and if local construction firms have any quality cost systems in place for the purpose of establishing the relationship between quality assurance and cost savings. Presents the findings of a survey as answers to these questions.

    Premature staining of new buildings - causes and remedies (1997)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Structural survey 15 (1997), S. 166-171 
    Details
    ISSN: 0263-080X
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Surveying
    Notes: States that over the last decade an increasing number of new buildings have become disfigured in the first few years of their use. Outlines a recent major study of this phenomenon and investigates the following areas: what premature staining is and what effects it can have; the mechanisms of the staining process; building features that commonly give rise to staining problems; strategies for remedial measures once staining has occurred. Presents unique yet practical solutions to this increasing problem and concludes that the key to avoiding staining is a detailed consideration of a broad range of issues at all stages of the design and construction process.
