Abstract
The roads are objects of the highest responsibility due primarily to human safety. A progression of technologies during the research for reliable detection of karst areas is necessary to ensure design and construction linear construction projects. First, projected areas of karst hazard are distinguished by geological and geomorphological characteristics. Further, the electrical tomography is performed on these projected development areas of carbonate and sulfate karst. Drilling is done depending on the results of the electrical tomography in the third stage. This sequence of methods is the most economical and efficient from the point of view of the solution for this geological problem. This is demonstrated with specific examples.
