This is a comprehensive look at high-rise construction and engineering. We cover crucial aspects such as initial site investigation, planning, and risk management, including identifying latent conditions and addressing potential contamination. We also explore different construction methodologies, like those involving formwork, scaffolding, structural steel, and precast concrete, emphasizing their respective advantages and considerations. Furthermore, we highlight the importance of construction principles for efficiency and waste reduction, discusses the complexities of building services installations in tall structures, and details the multifaceted process of project completion, including testing, certifications, and handover procedures.
