Scranton Mine Subsidence
Project Overview
Historic mining documents and old maps were obtained from the Office of Surface Mining (OSM) to study a dangerous collapsing shoulder problem along the Northeast Extension near Scranton, Pennsylvania. The records placed a vertical mineshaft in the area. A deep core boring program conducted by GeoStructures verified the feature as a partially backfilled, 120-ft deep shaft. Careful consideration of various remedial options in terms of feasibility and disruption to traffic flow resulted in the selection of a compaction-grouting repair.
