| 2. Process heat station |
 |
 |
During recent years, the heating station has been taken over by pigeons. Totally. Going there today means you need to go outside the pigeon-season, whatever that is. Otherwise you need some kind protection suit.

 |
Ripped stuff that might not be too healthy for inhalation. Fortuately this is not an interesting corner anyway, because there's just pigeon shit and the platform with ladder down.

 |
Damn boys from the hood, who've rocked the windows just enough to provide the pigeons an easy access.

 |
Down at once since this really is no good place to hang at.

 |
I'm not surprised..

 |
Above the boiler hall there's a catwalk platform with stored junk.

This guy did a wise move when wearing the mask thing.

Even though some window glasses are still in one piece, visitors have seen it as their duty to smash everything made of glass inside the station.

Yellow asbestos warning tapes add the missing ingredient to the rainbow colour selection.

One of the few representers of this lifestyle in the city has visited the place.

Some more pipes'n'valves.

 |
I'm not sure in which direction the asbestos danger is. I would suppose it is down in the basement just as well as on the control platform, so why isolate a dangerous zone from another one?
|

 |
Oil preheater is installed in a basement now damp and reeking.

 |
The heater comes from Theft, still written in the traditional way on this plate.

Pump jungle.

MOK'71. Since Mouhijärven Osuusmeijeri had reserved MOM some years before the dairy in Mikkeli was established, the logical abbreviation could not be used here. So they chose MOK.

Anti sooting equipment.

 |
Tank surrounded by reasonable amounts of pigeon crap and ripped insulation remainings. What a find!
|

 |
On the first visit it was quite a surprise to find out there's a tunnel connecting the heat station to the other buildings. It starts here.
