During a press conference today on Corvette Boulevard, Mike Murphy with Scott, Murphy & Daniel construction provided an update and timeline on the work to be done.
Highlights
of the press
conference
include:
-
This is very
common for this
area, what's not
common is for a
sinkhole to
swallow eight
Corvettes.
- It is repairable. The building foundation and structure is in good condition.
- They will be securing the sinkhole and surrounding areas to ensure that even if we have sinkholes on the property in the future it will not affect the Museum.
- It will take 2-3 weeks to stabilize and secure the area (red spire, walls of the sinkhole) then the process of vehicle recovery will begin.
- They will be making sure the sinkhole is safe and that no further damage will occur before starting vehicle recovery.
- It will take 4-6 days to retrieve the vehicles
- After that, they will replace earth and the floor system
- They have a good plan and it takes action tomorrow with no problems foreseen
"We
are confident that
it will be done in
time for the
Museum's 20th
Anniversary
Celebration in
August. You won't
even know that
this has
happened," said
Wendell Strode,
Museum Executive
Director
