Abstract

Examining the impact of simultaneous adjacent construction projects on soil integrity and tree growth in an urban area reveals significant issues. Two civil engineering projects, one residential and one commercial, required substantial land excavation, resulting in soil degradation, root damage, and poor water retention. These factors led to stunted tree growth, increased risk of uprooting, and reduced biodiversity. The study proposes mitigation measures such as soil restoration, root protection, water management, and tree support to address the negative impacts and promote sustainable urban development practices.

Conclusion

The case of adjacent construction projects leading to soil degradation and poor tree growth highlights the need for careful planning and execution in urban development. By implementing soil restoration, root protection, water management, and tree support measures, the negative impacts on the environment can be mitigated. Sustainable construction practices that consider the ecological aspects are essential to maintaining a healthy urban ecosystem and ensuring the long-term viability of trees amidst urban growth.
