Engineers from Salado Isolation Mining Contractors supported National Robotics Week earlier this month by visiting Carlsbad High School’s engineering classes. They presented various engineering disciplines and discussed their dedication to integrating new technologies into the work done at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, including integrating cutting-edge imaging to gauge the natural movement of salt in the underground. WIPP safely disposes of defense-generated transuranic waste from U.S. Department of Energy sites in an ancient salt bed.
