Captured from the weigher floor, this image reveals the intricate fuel distribution system that once powered Wangi Power Station. Overhead, the triangular metal structures mark the bottoms of the coal bunkers, where fuel was stored before feeding the massive boilers below.
In B Station, coal was funneled toward the mills for crushing, while in A Station, it was fed directly into the stokers. Heavy steel chains draped over pulleys once allowed workers to manually control the spade valves, ensuring a steady supply of fuel to keep the station running. Now motionless, these mechanisms stand frozen in time, a testament to the precision and labor-intensive processes that sustained the plant’s operations.
Perfect for those fascinated by industrial history, mechanical engineering, and the legacy of coal-fired power, this print captures the raw functionality and design of a system built for relentless efficiency.
