| 2. Crushing plant |
 |
 |
Dolomite limestone inside one silo.
|
 |
The crushing plant isn't the most lethal building ever, but falling into these silos would still hurt.
|
 |
One door for crane, one door for accessing the ladders outside.
|
 |
The ladder down from the door.
|
 |
Lot of the original machines are actually still in the crushing buildings. Old conveyors like this haven't been valuable enough to be recycled.
|
 |
From the traces, one could conclude that deconstructors of the electrical devices came from Turku. They haven't unscrewed the switchboxes open, instead the metal housings have been smashed to get fuses and other stuff out. And like you see, spare fuses were not removed. Anyway, peace out to South-West. =)
|
 |
There's a chance to go to the "balcony", which we bailed out.
|
 |
One of the few control boxes in the plant.
|
 |
This corner is lacking something.
|
 |
Top room and one guy some 30 years late.
|
 |
Cable?
|
 |
End of the conveyor, which goes all through the inclined passage.
|
 |
Possibly some sort of ventilation hole with a slidable shutter hides a space behind it. It's actually a small cabin. A perfect nesting place!
|
 |
The rusty thing seen from the passage.
|
 |
Reels beneath the rubber belt are numbered. Number 78 is on top.
|
 |
And here the passage looking falsely bright. It is actually quite dim, since the window holes are masked by trees.
|
 |
Nothing left of windows. Just the holes.
|
 |
View from ground level. To our surprise, the passage continued also slightly underground.
|
 |
Whirl underground.
|
 |
Bottom end of the conveyor. It is below ground, since it has conveyed stuff fed from above, which is ground level.
|
 |
What on earth are these rusty balls? There was water on bottom the tunnel's concrete end so we didn't go and pick any, but they sure look strange.
|
 |
The feeder thing in pitch black end of the passage, which has converted to a tunnel.
|
 |
Somewhat heavy chains between the feeder and belt. Bright daylight shines from above.
