WRc has published the new 7th edition of the Civil Engineering Specification for the Water Industry (CESWI 7). This is the Specification for use in civil engineering contracts let by Water Undertakers in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It supersedes the Sixth Edition (2004) and reflects the water industry’s requirement for comprehensive, universal and relevant specifications for civil engineering contracts.

Sarah Wilcox, Technical Secretary at WRc says “The specification is based on performance requirements allowing the Contractor to decide upon a method of working. This 7th edition has been rewritten to reflect the experience of the UK Water Industry and the contractors since the last edition was published, and includes new standards and working practices, together with new technologies and more sustainable options”.

The document is available to order now in both book format and a web-based version.

CESWI 7 is available from the WEBookshop at www.webookshop.com, email publications@wrcplc.co.uk or telephone +44 (0) 1793 865012.
