Construction — Hell’s Gate (Canada)

  • Chapter

Abstract

Construction causes environmental impact. Regardless what is being built — a valley-wide dam, a set of nuclear power plants, a coal strip mine — there is risk of environmental changes from the way in which it is built. The bigger the project, the greater the effect.

“When the impacts occurred in 1913 and 1914, they were totally unexpected. Controlling potential landslides along salmon rivers, and the risk of causing them by construction were not perceptions of the times.”
