Truck Shop and Staging Area
Of the two Bingham Canyon Mine heavy hauler truck shops shown here the smaller white building was destroyed on April 10, 2013 when more than 160,000 tons of earth sloughed off of the side of the mine (just to the right of the shop) into the bottom of the pit making it the largest human caused landslides in recorded history. Although the slide cost Kennecott many millions of dollars in lost time and equipment, it was accurately anticipated due to constant state-of-the-art geological movement monitoring technology and occurred without injury or loss of life.
