This report describes the creation of a 3D geological model of natural and artificial superficial
deposits in Manchester and Salford, NW England. The Manchester and Salford model forms part
of the Lower Mersey Corridor, NW England. The Lower Mersey Corridor includes models
within the region comprising:
Manchester-Salford
Warrington
Liverpool
Irlam
The location of the geological models is shown in Figure 1 and the spacing of cross-sections is
shown in Figure 2.

others in the Lower Mersey Corridor area of NW England.
The 3D models include natural and artificial superficial deposits. Cross-sections for Manchester
and Salford include schematic bedrock correlations for illustration only. Bedrock is not included
in the calculated mode
