The San Jose Mine Rescue of 2010 – Reflections & Lessons Learned

Cementation was one of three groups selected to excavate an access to help in the successful rescue the 33 miners who were trapped in the San Jose Mine in Chile in 2010. This presentation will reflect on that event 13 years later and present some lessons learned from that incident that are just as relevant today as they were then.
