Abstract

In order study either its beneficial or harmful effect; evaluation of any project through EIA has become a must. Indian construction industry is rapidly growing at a rate of 9.2% as against the world average of 5.5%. Undertaking EIA for construction industry and improving site management can reduce environmental impacts both on and off site. In order to appreciate the risks posed by construction activities and taking steps to reduce incidents can help reduce costs and improve business reputation. The present article reviews the various steps involved in EIA, environmental effects of construction industry and EIA with relation to construction industry.
