Ded,
It will end up 20+m high
Big enough to raise the tub of a 240 tonne dump truck
That column I was hanging onto is about 39m away I am standing at the edge of a 15m concert apron so that puts the shed about 24m wide and 75m long
Thats a decent size shed your building nanjim ..
I woukd love to see more pics of it ..

nice couple of pics Ramjet
I work in Mechanical Plant & Machine Design, specialising in the mining industry here in WA.
your mention of "Gotta much sure all the doors are shut and wheels are turning" gave me a chuckle when I thought back to some pics I seen of an Iron Ore Unloader that tips 2 carriages together of approx. 100t ore in each (auto uncoupler system take 2 wagons at a time thru the indexed & rotating unloader), whereby an arm on the clamping device that holds the wagons failed. :N:
made a bit of a mess of things.
The recovery team had to take the roof off the building to lift the wagon out before repairs could begin

When we were in WA last year i recall hearing about an ore train that became a run away when the driver got out to check something I remember the report said they had to remotely derail the train for safety reasons ..that would have been a big mess to clean up ..
Aaah seems every thing is being made in China nowadays :/

My dad was on the railway. There are a few father, son combos. Not as interesting as many think.
maybe that's just 39 years of shift work talking.

Ours have doors that are opened and closed by triggers in the floor of the dump station. Coal wagons.
yeah coal has to be handled a bit more gently, but the volume of iron ore coming in from around 250 or more wagons needs a fast unloading method. This would pulverise a lot of coal, so bottom dump is the go, although there are side-tip wagon systems (similar to side-tip semi trucks)
