Back cover

This handbook provides the information needed to design, plan, implement and maintain bio-engineering works on steep slopes, with specific reference to roadside areas. It also covers the establishment and operation of bio-engineering nurseries.

It is intended that the handbook cover all subjects that an engineer would need on site. The companion Reference Manual provides background and supporting information and is intended for office use.
