March 11, 2013 — Helicon, a State of Florida industry leader in foundation and sinkhole repair, recently completed a project at the USF campus. Sinkhole conditions were identified mid-February, on the east side of the campus near the USF/Patel Elementary School. Due to several wells that were in proximity of the sinkhole, students were required to follow a precautionary boil water notice for several days.
According to the USF Geology Department, “The USF area is an active cover-collapse sinkhole region. The USF campus has experienced more than 30 cover-collapse events in its 40 years of operation. This results in a frequency of about one cover-collapse sinkhole per square mile per year.”
Helicon is known for residential sinkhole remediation projects throughout the state of Florida; however, the company also completes a significant number of commercial sinkhole remediation projects each month.
