WHAT IS SUBTROPOLIS?

SubTropolis was created through the mining of a 270-million-year-old limestone deposit. In the mining process, limestone is removed by the room and pillar method, leaving 25-foot square pillars that are on 65-foot centers and 40 feet apart.


SUBTROPOLIS FACTS:

  • over 10,000 stone pillars
  • strength of limestone is 10,000 to 12,000 pounds per square inch, which is 3x stronger than concrete
  • 1.5 million tons of rock are mined every year (35 acres per year)
  • nearly 45 million square feet (over 1,000 acres) have been mined out since mining began in 1945
