Abstract

Road schemes can have an impact on both the geology and the soils of an area. It is therefore important that the potential impacts of development on both the soil and the underlying rocks are fully considered. The converse also applies in that existing soil conditions of a site can impose constraints on a proposed development for example, where land which has been contaminated by wastes from some previous industrial use.
