In spite of the heavy covering of snow over the first few weeks of the month, the noise from Egger’s log loading processes has by no means been any less noticable. You might have thought that the snow would have muffled the noise to some extent, but this has certainly not been the case. Last weekend, in particular, was noticably noisy, with continuous rumbling and knocking of logs as they fall about in the conveyor. Once again the ‘vortex noise’ has been prominent after a short respite.
Interesting observations:
- The huge stockpiles of roundlogs have been significantly reduced over the last 4 – 6 weeks and vast areas of asphalt are once again visible in the yards.
- For a short time last night and today (maybe 10 hours or so) the WESP has been out of action (27 Jan 2010).
