Description

The Contractors is the first comprehensive illustrated history of British civil engineering contractors, tracing their remarkable journey from canal construction in the late-eighteenth century to the present day. This fully illustrated book reveals the stories of extraordinarily ambitious yet largely unrecognised men who built the world's essential infrastructure, including roads, railways, canals, bridges, docks, harbours, lighthouses, breakwaters, sea works, flood defences, water supply systems, irrigation projects, urban drainage, sewerage networks, gas works, power stations, and buildings of all kinds. Published by ICE Publishing, this reference work documents the challenges and adventures these contractors faced whilst shaping the built environment. An invaluable resource for anyone interested in engineering history, infrastructure development, or the untold stories of the men who transformed landscapes and communities across generations.

Key Features

The Contractors offers full colour illustrations throughout, bringing the history of British civil engineering contractors to life with visual documentation.
