The construction of forest roads and their subsequent maintenance is an essential component in the cost of forest transport, which takes up more than 50% of the total cost of harvested wood in timber warehouses. Reducing the cost of building forest roads, without reducing their required quality (service life and bearing capacity), is one of the most promising ways to improve the efficiency of the Russian Forest complex. Currently, new technologies of road construction are coming to logging production, which are discussed in this article.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
