The methodology for A-1 motorway basement treatment, using geophysical methods in the area of former historical shallow mining of zinc and lead as well as iron ores threatened with the occurrence of sinkhole within the Bytom basin in the Upper Silesia, has been presented. The method discussed consists in carrying out properly designed geophysical examinations using gravimetric, borehole georadar and micro camera introscopy methods. The paper presents the assumptions of the A-1 motorway basement treatment methodology preceded by the description of the sinkhole threat. Detailed methodology for geophysical measurements adapted to the basement treatment methodology has been presented. Stages of recognition of voids and loose zones location in the vicinity of injection holes have been characterised as well as the way of basement backfilling effectiveness evaluation. The solutions discussed are aimed at as effective as possible limitation of the threat of A-1motorway structure damage.
