(National Corvette Museum Microgravity, Bowling Green, Ky - Surveying and Mapping Technology)
On February 12, 2014, eight classic Chevrolet Corvettes were swallowed by a sinkhole that opened up beneath the Skydome of the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. EnSafe provided support in evaluating potential environmental and safety concerns at the Skydome during initial response activities, and subsequently designed and conducted a microgravity survey to evaluate the extent of the void and aid in identifying other potential karst features beneath the Skydome. EnSafe participated in a team that entered the void and prepared a cave map, which revealed excellent correlation between the microgravity data and the actual cave dimensions.
