City of Detroit – Sinkhole on Jefferson
Adamo provided emergency response to the Michigan Department of Transportation, Detroit Water and Sewer Department and Detroit City Engineering when a large sinkhole developed at the corner of Jefferson and Randolph, one of the busiest intersections in downtown Detroit.
Adamo excavated and cleaned out the sinkhole, made repairs to the 5’ diameter combination sewer and coordinated repairs to AT&T conduits, a Public Lighting Department vault and an existing 8” water main. Adamo also provided traffic control for the 4 month period until the repairs were complete and the intersection was repaved.
