Volvo CE is helping Mother Nature to recover following a disastrous accident in Kingston, Tennessee
On 22 December 2008, just outside Kingston, in the US state of Tennessee, 4.2 million cubic meters (148ft³) of wet coal fly ash slurry from the nearby power plant had burst its dam and inundated 1.2 square kilometers (0.5miles²) of the once beautiful landscape. It was the largest slurry discharge in the USA's history. The TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) supplies electricity to 9 million people in south-eastern USA and after this disastrous accident at the Kingston plant, their immediate response to the accident was all hands on deck; committed to putting the area back to ( and better) than it was before . TVA is assisted by 38 articulated haulers from Volvo Construction Equipment. Read the full article in Volvo CE's customer magazine, Spirit on the following link; www.volvospiritmagazine.com.
