| 1. Sawmill (the remains) |
 |
 |
This sight greeted us when getting to Ukkola... Just a little bit too late.
|
|---|
 |
Papers from former giant owner lied among planks and other junk.
|

 |
Chip collecting tower has a sheltered, human walkable transport belt passage, which gives it some look of a mining building.
|
|---|
 |
The tower hasn't been in collapsing danger so they saved it, but what will happen in future?
|
|---|
 |
Chip tower's emptying hatches. A highly similar installation can be found atleast from Kyyveden Saha (which is operational).
|
|---|
 |
Name seems to have been compact Ukkola Oy somewhere in the past.
|
|---|
 |
Typical chip storage text.
|

 |
This is what's left of the sawmill, dimension sorting wing.
|
|---|
 |
Notes warning about danger of collapsing roof can be found at the entrance. The knowledge of roof's weak condition came apparently as a surprise, because just two years before demolition the sawmill was in full effect and the company had big plans for the future.
|
|---|
 |
Sorting wing's basement contains not much of anything interesting.
|
|---|
 |
Mud has covered everything here.
|
|---|
 |
Sorting line to one direction..
|
|---|
 |
And other direction. Seems that the ground has moved "a bit" since the line was built.
|

 |
This long waste conveyor goes next to the sawmill, towards the sawing frames.
|
|---|
 |
Primitive safety equipment.
|
|---|
 |
Fire hydrant well in the bush.
|
|---|
 |
Relays.
|
|---|
 |
Total of 4 sawing frames stand surrounded by junk. If only the demolition had been delayed a bit more..
|
|---|
 |
They are products of Karhula.
|
|---|
 |
Beltwheel's central has not gathered rust - it's been used until 2004.
|
|---|
 |
Sorted scrap; wiring boxes, cables, roof steel sheets, machine covers
|
|---|
 |
Foundations of a log crane.
|
|---|
 |
Log measuring and sorting was located here.
|
|---|
 |
Measuring equipment has been sold away.
|
|---|
 |
Very empty here.
