Groundworks
and other site preparation activities possess environmental threats
that must be dealt with before conducting any engineering works. Investigation
of the overall ecological effects of the removal of vegetation and other
ecological features requires comprehensive study and research. Moreover, even
if thorough study is performed, measures must also be taken to reduce any
possible environmental effects of the project on the region.
Some of the
environmental impacts that may develop are listed below:
1.Contamination on the area
The leakage
of chemicals like oil, methane and other toxic substances used in construction
activity may influence the water quality and the soil in the working site as
well as in the surrounding areas.
2.Change in the waterways
Construction
works may change waterways in surrounding areas and may badly affect people
living in the area. In addition, the grading of surface soil and stripping of vegetation’s
may result to landslides and mudslides.
3.Noise and vibrations
Noise and
the trembling of the soil made by construction machineries can negatively
affect the growth of plants and propagation of animals.
4.Water run-off
Proper
disposal of toxic materials must be implemented to avoid these chemicals from
harming nearby streams and rivers by means of water run-off.
Several
factors must be taken into consideration to protect the environment from harm. Frank Owens Contractors
provides quality utility services in Northern and Southern Ireland for more
than two decades. Through detailed study and planning, they will ensure that
all possible considerations are taken to minimize the potential effects of the
project on the environment.
