Cylinder: 8,0 m diameter / 42,0 m height - Special features:
In the world’s largest copper mine in the Chilean mountains, mining is being moved underground. The 42 m deep shaft required for smoke extraction/ventilation is climbed in sections with a 3 m high steel formwork without a crane or additional equipment.
