[125th Anniversary] Rendel, Palmer & Tritton - Consulting and Designing Chartered Civil Engineers [selected projects across the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Britain]

"This book has been compiled to illustrate, in a way which it is hoped will be informative and decorative, some of the works for which the Firm has been responsible over its long history" (Introduction). Original navy cloth with the Firm's modern colour logo to the front, orange-titled to the spine 24x29cm. 114pp with colour and b/w drawings, maps, sections, plans, and photos throughout. Covers very good, interiors near fine with previous owner's name pencilled to the ffep (D J Fisher 1968). Rare with Worldcat and Library Hub recording 10 locations between them. This is undated, but it marks the Firm's 125th anniversary in 1963 (p7) and includes projects completed or in progress up to 1963. Although there are several early projects, major overseas and domestic works since the 1950s are significantly represented, suggesting it was produced for promotional purposes rather than as a comprehensive company history. Thus the early years (1838-1913) are covered in a brief opening chapter (pp9-16). The rest is organised into chapters on Docks, harbours, wharves, and jetties; Bridges; Roads and railways; Pipelines; Airports; Power stations; Hydraulic structures; Other structures; Mechanical plant; Harbour craft. A final chapter describes the Firm's present constitution and organisation. Of the overseas projects, those in the Middle East are strongly represented, followed by South and SE Asia and Africa, with a single reference in South America. Details per project include client, brief description, services provided, date completed (or in progress), and cost, with several accompanying illustrations.
