Geobear Stabilises Sewer Compromised by Flood | Geobear

A road and sewer system had experienced significant settlement of 100-200mm, initially caused by flash flooding. Consequently, washout beneath the existing sewer pipe occurred, meaning it bowed and the joints failed which caused further soil erosion. This led to an accelerated rate of settlement and loss of ground support increasing the risk of creating a localised sinkhole.
