When the Daly West Shaft Collapsed: May 5, 5 – 6 pm
Using information provided by Clark Martinez, Brian Buck will describe what happened in
May 2015 when the top of the Daly West shaft collapsed and toppled the headframe. He will cover how shafts like Daly West are built, how they change over time, and the potential hazards created by these changes. He will also describe how the collapse event was responded to resulting in the current condition of the site and he will introduce concepts being considered to raise the headframe again.
