Posted by Jrice on Tue Jul 29 12:49:26 2014, in response to Re: $11 Billion East Side Access project: 11 sinkholes filled, but new sinkholes may form, posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Sun Jul 27 21:41:06 2014. Of the incidences, only three were technically even sinkholes, and those were negligible (1' wide), not impacting service or caused by the rail tunnels. One was over a utility microtunnel, but away from tracks. The other two were due to isolated compaction problems, again away from tracks. The rest of the incidences are a common spring occurrence. heavy rains wash out dry soil. Exacerbated by construction.This was only reported because the MN derailment had just occurred. LIRR wanted a full review and nothing kept from the press. So something that would never have made news, made news. |
