Assessing the condition of road surfaces, whether old or recently paved, can provide essential information regarding their structural strength and potential longevity. And what lies beneath can be just as important, sometimes more so. Understanding the complex geology of any area is crucial both for structural and environmental reasons before roads or bridges or tunnels or any other structures can be built. Reinforcement may be required to provide necessary support under weight-bearing columns. Meanwhile, the location of natural springs may require environmental measures to prevent contamination. And when road works are being carried out, determining the condition of the surface is essential to know what a project will entail. |
