Project Description
Ottawa is built on a stable bedrock and ground displacement is generally not an issue. With the LRT tunnel started in 2016, ground subsidence became an issue along the LRT track. A number of buildings were found to be affected (red circles) and a sinkhole opened in June 2016 (blue circle).
A PSInSAR map produced with TerraSAR-X Spotllight data has shown that buildings along the LRT between the sinkhole and the Rideau LRT station were shown to subside (black circle).
