3 plant .first jetti. construction on this one was stopped- The Atlantic was in a stormy mood , and company realised that they underspect the support pillars , and it was too low as well .

Hennie
So the short jetty was never used

[henniek]

I seem to remember that the construction company was LTA ? but stand to correction. The short jetty was not used , just abandoned

[henniek]

some old plant pic's

[henniek]

some more . What is the diffs between the S400 & S800 Bucket wheel operation side ? appart from the long bridge

[Michael Alexander]

Nice stuff Hennie, check the comparison in lengths of the 3 Plant Jetty.....

[henniek]

my goodness. there is just about nothing left of the 3 plt jetty . and just a short piece of the original to be seen !!!

[Alfred Boehme]

Dif between 400 and 800 was tons per hour, 800 they could do bedrock cleaning under the bridge while still moving overburden, 400 they had to move site for the bedrock guys to clean and then return to move more overburden

@Hennie, that is how far the sea has been pushed back, one can see that there is a slight bulge out into the ocean, whereas 50 years ago, the coastline was quite straight, scattered with bays.... in theory, the mine should be able to start mining all over again, if they can keep the sea's back.....

Here's a better view of that bulge.....
