Damaged Monument


Spoo

Recommended Posts

I first recovered OC2817 in April of 2004. In July 2005, the bridge abuttment that it is monumented on was struck by a Tractor Trailer and then was hit again in October of 2005. Both Semis rolled over the abuttment and down the back but miraculously neither went into the water nor did the drivers get seriously injured.

 

I decided to investigate the damage today. Part of the abuttment, bridge and barrieir can be seen as patched or replaced and serious movement of the abuttment is in clear evidence. The disk itself does not have so much as a scratch on it.

 

I have reported the damage to NGS and have noted a new survey may be required to check the adjusted elevation accuracy.
