Features: For a long time, there are numerous English materials circulating in the market, but few are specialized in English. This book is compiled from international engineering tender documents, organized according to general water conservancy and hydropower engineering procedures, and collects some frequently used application documents in engineering, allowing readers to feel as if they are on-site. It has strong practical guidance significance and can partially make up for the above shortcomings. The book is divided into two parts. The first part includes topics such as construction diversion, closure, earthwork excavation, clearing foundation and clearing vegetation, earth-rock dam filling, drilling, grouting, and drainage wells, concrete engineering, and metal structure engineering. The second part includes writing of letters of engagement, faxes, engineering correspondence, contracts and agreements, and construction plan writing. Additionally, for the content of engineering translation, appropriate explanations and comments are provided on translation techniques and English learning. This book can serve as a professional English textbook for students of water conservancy and hydropower, as well as a training manual for engineering technicians and management personnel in water conservancy and hydropower enterprises and institutions to learn professional English.
