The Gantry 

Before the installation of 2 yellow cranes on the gantry, the logs were sorted after they were dropped into the saltwater pond in the foregound. It was about 2 to 3 m deep. Most logs would float, but there would be a problem when a log would sink!  The pond was then used to store water for the firefighting vehicles, which is why there is water in this picture. 

There were 2 10 ton Demag yellow cranes, one on the north side; the other on the south. They were used to move the logs from the trucks to the debarker.  The removed bark was sent by conveyor belt to the fuel store where it was used to fuel the turbines.
