Geohazards – from wikipedia A geohazard is a geological state that may
lead to widespread damage or risk.[1] Geohazards are geological and
environmental conditions and involve long-term or short-term geological processes.
Geohazards can be relatively small features, but they can also attain huge dimensions (e.g., submarine or surface landslide) and affect local and regional socio-economy to a large extent (e.g.,
tsunamis).

Scour, Scour Mitigation, and Stream Restoration Scour is the driving force behind foundation
selection for many structures!
Lewis Co. KY KYTC generally does
not use spread footings on soil at wet crossings
for bridges.

• Down-hole camera - the Geotechnical Branch has 3 down-hole cameras. We put them in our core holes to look at karst features, etc.
• A picture is worth a thousand words.
