Good Site work reference

Good Site work reference

Good Site work reference

(OP)
I'm a new E.I.T that has been asked to do some site design work.  I'm curious if any of you more experienced members can suggest a good reference book that covers all aspects(if at all possible) of site work?

Thank You.

RE: Good Site work reference

I really like the Land Development Handbook by Dewberry and Davis.  It has a lot of great references and design outlines that guide an engineer through development stages.  It goes through not only residential but commercial and has all aspects from Geotech to water/wastewater.  Good luck.

Runoff.

RE: Good Site work reference

I agree with runoff.  That book covers the subject of development very well.  

If you need a similar book for transpo, seek out the Massachusetts Highway Dept.'s manual.
