Back in Feb., this sink hole opened up in a neighborhood.
This is what was found underneath it. Snort, they think 200 truckloads of cement is going to stop it.

Yep. When the forces of God and Nature take hold, our efforts can turn out to be puny and ineffective.

They could fill it with the town.

Put a proper reinforced cover and extended post below the cover into the hole, anchored it adequately to the sinkhole walls and sinkhole floor, and you could fill it will two trucks.

What in the Sam Hill? What bureaucrat estimated that?
That’s roughly 1,900 cubic yards of cement. Ah, I’d say somebody ought to go back and recalculate the volume for that rather large cave. By the way, the cost should be somewhere in the vicinity of $200,000 to $300,000. Not sure how they came up with over half a million unless there is significant additional engineering work needed.

Many a company man almost broke their company trying to cement a cavern during a surface casing job.
If you lose circulation, then use baskets on the casing above the cavern. A load of pea gravel should be planned.

Sell the nearby homes to the state. Make parking and fencing. Install stairs.

I suggest they backfill it with sand. Flow the sand into the void using water, setup a dewatering well system at he far end of the void to remove the water and recycle it for flowing the sand in. The water will compact the sand and fill all voids.
This is how dredging works.
