Tipple at Anniebird

This series of fotos show the slow evolution og the minining complex at Anniebird. Instead of one ponderous structure, I’ve elected on a series of associated smaller structures. In this case I’ve started with the loading bin…

After gettin a rough idea of the geography in the tipple area, I enclosed the top and included a head house for a tramway running from the mine opening to the bin. The tramway will continue thoughtthe head house to a bin for waste rock…and then to a supply building with a hoist house.

Hoppers will be loaded on a track below underneath a canopy. A lot of ideas and features for this design is coming from the Clifftop Strip Tipple in Clifftop WV.
