Construction of roads on peat foundations using light-weight rafts
Three methods include fascine foundation, brushwood and gravel construction, and reinforced concrete slab; many concrete roads in County Londonderry which were constructed over peat are still in relatively good condition after more than 35 yr; with modern plant and techniques, concrete slab construction may prove to be economic method of reconstructing roads over peat; observations on maintenance problems which arise with this type of road.
