Kennecott Smokestack, Industrial chimney in Salt Lake County, United States.
The Kennecott Smokestack extends 370 meters into the sky with a base diameter of 54 meters, tapering to 12 meters at its summit point.
The construction of this industrial structure in 1974 required 20,121 cubic meters of wood and 820 tons of steel, completing the project in 84 days.
The smokestack represents the evolution of copper processing methods in Utah, marking changes in industrial practices throughout the western United States region.
A Swedish-manufactured elevator inside the structure takes maintenance workers to the top through an interior gear track in approximately 20 minutes.
This chimney processes waste gases containing 40 percent sulfur dioxide, converting them into sulfuric acid for commercial distribution and environmental protection.
