At Garden City Flour Mill in Ballarat North, grain delivered to the mill in GY's. GH's and VHGY's was discharged into a pit below the rail siding where an auger and conveyors were used to transfer the grain to storage bins.
Although sections of the Garden City Flour Mill have been completed for a number of years, there are still a few details that I still need to add to the structures that make up the mill complex. One of these was the discharge pit and what appears to be barriers or covers to protect the pit and reduce the risk of contamination.
I didn't have any measurements to go on but had the a some photographs of the mill and rail siding from the early 2000's that showed the discharge pit and barriers.
The discharge pits and barriers are made out of styrene sheet and bits and pieces out of the scrap box. I also need to remove ballast from the track for the pit cover and the concrete pad for the barrier.
Two GY's or GH's or one VHGY can discharge grain into the pit at a time. The overhead pipes allow for flour hoppers to be loaded in the adjacent siding.
