Surveyors – ABYC says ASK, Thomas
Surveyors represent the largest occupational group of all the ABYC members. Responsible surveyors perform surveys using the ABYC Standards and thereby protect their customers from unpleasant surprises and dangerous revelations. This concern for a client’s well-being is what separates you from those people who lack the commitment to provide the best for their customers. Thomas Ask, an Associate Professor in the School of Construction Design at the Pennsylvania College of Technology and his book the Handbook of Marine Surveying describe the tools of responsible surveying and deliver another valuable asset in your toolbox.
This second edition covers the latest surveying technology, including an analysis of the mechanical behavior of materials; stress concentration; failure analysis, fatigue and fracture; corrosion; wood-damaging organisms; the composition and characteristics of common plastics, metals and composite materials.
The Handbook of Marine Surveying is packed with vital information and has a cover price of $49.50. The ABYC is offering it to members for the special price of $36.00 plus shipping.
