The Centralia Coal Mine in Centralia, WA, ceased operations in 2006 and is now undergoing an extensive reclamation process. A portion of the 9,800-acre site has been repurposed by Seattle’s First Mode as a proving ground for the world’s largest hydrogen-powered mine haul truck. Utilizing the Phoenix LiDAR RECON-XT, First Mode is conducting detailed 3D surveys to build and test a 10% grade haul road, essential for the truck’s performance. This innovative use of reclaimed land exemplifies how former industrial sites can be transformed into high-tech testing grounds, highlighting the synergy between environmental restoration and cutting-edge technology.
