	Show Mines of Chile: Chuquicamata Copper Mine
		Chuquicamata is an opencast copper mine, where a relatively poor copper ore is mined in impressive huge amounts.

	Travelogue Bolivia / Chile 2003 - Arica and Chuquicamata
		In front of use we saw the road to Chuquicamata, the world’s biggest open copper mine, the biggest manmade hole.
		The endless row of buses, carrying the 11'000 workers (or to be more exact a third of them as they work in three shifts 24 hours, seven days a week) gave me a first impression of the mines dimension.
		Reducing costs is only one reason as the mining cooperation tries to get an ISO certification which does not allow that people live next to a quite toxic industrial plant (though they do their best to reduce contamination).

	Chile
		Chuquicamata, the world’s largest and richest open-pit copper mine, is an enclave of alien life 10.000 feet high in the Atacama desert of northern Chile, an industrial marvel and an incongruously situated monument of its time.
		When I visited Chuquicamata for 10 days in February 1972, it was clear that the old hierarchical structure had been swept away, and that no working order or consensus had been created to replace it.
		The workers of Chuquicamata were privileged in yet another important sense, in that they have a very powerful labor union with the capacity to paralyze production and inflict great damage on Chile’s economy by either formally declared general strikes or by wildcat stoppages in any of several key sections.

		Specific tasks included development of a conceptual hydrogeologic model of the region surrounding the mine, design of deep piezometers, design of drainholes and piezometers to be constructed in a drainage gallery, design of aquifer tests, and presentation of a short course on mining hydrology to mine geotechnical personnel.
		The Chuquicamata pit will reach its final depth in the next ten to twenty years.
