Waterjet technology is used in a variety of industries including civil engineering, mining, geotechnical engineering, tunnelling, defence, construction and conservation. This book is essential reading for all those engaged in waterjet technology - from manufacturers of the equipment through the Government Contracting Officers who let the awards,
to the individual contractors and their engineers. It will be used in academic libraries and departments in all the above disciplines. David Summers is University of Missouri Curators' Professor of Mining Engineering and Director of the High Pressure Waterjet Laboratory. He is Chair of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers clinics in industrial waterjet cutting and is Vice-president of the International Society of Water Jet Technology. He has also chaired the standards committee of the American society with the responsibility of developing a code of recommended practices for the use of waterjets in cleaning.
