Construction site management, usually dominated by skilled engineers, provides an important opportunity for engineers, especially in the area of building to work together in minimizing the environmental impacts of land disturbance. However, better monitoring requirements, combined with efforts to identify and publicize the benefits of erosion control are increasing the number of construction sites on which erosion control efforts are being implemented. Subsequently, a range of temporary measures to reduce erosion and to trap sediment on site can be designed and implemented, for instance, temporary surface covers and silt fence. However, design and implementation of these measures require an understanding of erosion and sedimentation processes, and in many cases incorrect installation and maintenance limit their effectiveness. This paper, therefore, outlines the impact of soil erosion in the construction industry, in-built problems, control and how to proffer solution. In addition, accurate and precise construction techniques and selection of appropriate construction materials utilized to achieve the objectives are discussed and presented.
