Geological study and Geotechnical evaluation of investigations and design in the context of the project “Improvement design of the National Road Larissa – Kozani (part a: Tyrnavos – Beginning of Elassona deviation and part b: Micro Eleftherohorion – Border of Kozani prefecture”

The geological study focused on the assessment of alternative road alignment options, with the aim of providing the necessary geological information to support the selection of the most suitable solution.

For each alternative, the lithology, tectonic setting and geological structure, hydrogeological conditions, as well as the quality and engineering behaviour of the geological formations were assessed. The study also identified the problematic sections of each alignment and evaluated the anticipated geological and geotechnical issues in relation to the proposed engineering works.

Based on the assessment, recommendations were developed regarding the selection of the most suitable alternative, as well as the additional geological and geotechnical investigations and studies required during the subsequent phase of the project.
