In Turkey, a large part of forest is scattered on the mountainous land. Whole forestry activity and particulary, producing of woody raw material in forest and its transportation to the consumption centres by constructed forest roads regularly and steadily can only be possible thanks to adequately firm forest roads and establishing of hydraulic construction buildings.
