Abstract
The work gives a review of the most significant studies in the field of engineering geology of the Urals. The great role of V. D. Lomtadze in the development of engineering geology in the Urals is noted. Stresses that the main importance for the formation of engineering geology in this region had and have mining, mining and metallurgical industries. In the article new approaches to the engineering-geological zoning of the Urals, proposed in 1995 by S. G. Dubaykovsky and O. N. Gryaznov are discussed. Analyzes the geological processes that determine the patterns of formation of engineering and geological conditions of the Urals. Topical directions in the Urals - engineering-geological justification of underground space development, studies of eluvial and technogenic soils.
