Photo from times when the plant was active. The fuels were handled with this large installation behind the plant.

Roundabout and the Paloheimo monolith. The city cherishes memory of a locally remarkable industrial company.

2007, the flue gas cleaners and fuel receiving have been removed, but other parts of the power station remain and will remain.
The plant was being converted by YIT, so DM was accordingly converted to YIT (temporarily). No-one asked any questions from a white helmet guy taking photos while deconstruction works continued.

Fortum had operated the plant since 1996.

Entering the construction site.

Some parts remained more untouched than others.

Ripping away asbestos pipes went on in the boiler hall, so this will be our only photo from there. The 2+2 boilers were already missing at this time.
|

 |
There were a few sealed doors.

Narrow room between boiler hall and rest of the building.

Train picture is a must, since Riihimäki is so strongly connected to railways. Shot from the roof, accessible from the narrow room.

What will happen to this logo? It's clearly a part of the city scenery, but isn't related to the new use of the power station in any way.

Dangers of this room include radioactive radiation and explosion.

The room with most interesting machines was the turbine hall. Steam and gas turbines, generators and so on.
|

 |
High windows of this level illuminate the turbine hall.

 |
These equipment among with some others were marked "leave here". One day, when the renovated power station is opened, it will be interesting to see whether these meters are still there - and do they still have felt marked text "leave here"

Lavals Ångturbin, Stockholm had served for over half a century - manufactured in 1950.

 |
Will also be saved.

 |
Switching station was almost empty. The visit should have taken place a bit earlier.
|

 |
Remaining items were marked, so also this stuff will probably have a new life somewhere.

This thing seemed to stand in a wrong place. Possibly transferred from another room.
