Route Construction

The role of The Geological Survey of Northern Ireland in highway construction problems*

Peter Inglett Manning, T.D., B.SC., F.G.S., P.A.I.W.E.

The relevance of geological factors in the selection of routes, and at later stages in feasibility studies and in construction of highways, is shown by reference to case histories dealt with by The Geological Survey of Northern Ireland. Specific examples include the Ml and M2 (Northern Ireland), Belfast Urban Motorway (Phase 1) and Belfast Outer Ring Road.
