[Texascavers] Sinkhole in KY claims Corvettes

RE: [Texascavers] Sinkhole in KY claims Corvettes
When I lived up that way, you could get a specific rider on your policy for sinkholes and geotechnical foundation issues. When I was in graduate school, I lived in a trailer about a mile from the museum and maybe a mile from the corvette plant. There were large sinkholes right in the trailer park. It would be interesting to see if their policy covers the building and/or the cars.

Re: [Texascavers] Sinkhole in KY claims Corvettes
I was surprised to see it is located directly alongside the I-65 interstate hwy. One would think the highway engineers would have known of the presence of cave system there. You can see it easily on Google-Earth.

Re: [Texascavers] Sinkhole in KY claims Corvettes
Interesting, Geary! I just Googled for more info. This article is most interesting. It also states that the museum does have insurance coverage for the cars and building. The article I read yesterday may have been a generic comment about insurance and sinkholesso perhaps the museum also had a rider Note there are two pages to this article: http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/sinkhole-collapses-corvette-museum-kentucky-22477750 julia -Original Message- From: Geary Schindel gschin...@edwardsaquifer.org To: Julia Germany germa...@aol.com; jckusa jck...@gmail.com; texascavers texascavers@texascavers.com Sent: Thu, Feb 13, 2014 12:07 pm Subject: RE: [Texascavers] Sinkhole in KY claims Corvettes When I lived up that way, you could get a specific rider on your policy for sinkholes and geotechnical foundation issues.

Julie, Phil, Geary and all, As for Kentucky: In the past highway engineers didn't seem to care. Today the Kentucky Speleological Survey is getting weekly requests for karst information from construction companies, consulting companies and from the state.

The Texas Highway Department became aware in 1963 during the construction of Interstate 35 through Georgetown, north of Austin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvZYOtgsCrw On 2/13/2014 5:49 PM, Bill Walden wrote: Julie, Phil, Geary and all, As for Kentucky: In the past highway engineers didn't seem to care.
