On location at the tourist site in Turkmenistan, in the day time.
Not sure where they will get the dirt to fill the hole. After all, everything around it is environmentally sensitive and needs protection.
Why the reports and permits alone from the Turkmenistan EPA would take many years about $100 to obtain.
Might be more efficient to dome it and valve the top?
Dunno.
The pressure should be manageable since each little porosity outlet is a control orifice.
You’d have to install a field compressor right next to it to send it on it’s way.
Like pumping a low-pressure well.
LOL!
They should put weenie and marshmallow roasting stations around it, or at least use it for trash disposal.
Based upon the given dimensions of 265ftx65ft (assuming its diameter is 265ft), they only 105,000 CY of dirt.
They could scape 1 ft of dirt off an area approximately 324ft around the crater and push it into the crater. Within a year the scaped area would look like the rest of the surface around it.
