The Pine Fell Water Plant[1][2] facility, also known as the Hammer Valley Pumping Station,[3] is one of many[2] pumping stations operated by Stalburg Water company in the Stalburg metropolitan area, that distribute potable water to nearby towns from the Stalburg city.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The Pine Fell Water Plant facility is located at the Pine Fell hill[4] within Hammer Valley area, it consists of two sections, an older underground one - built into the Bergmann Water Tunnel, used to control the water flow rate, and a newer one above the surface - hosting the pumping equipment. The facility is operated by at least three known personnel at rotating shifts, with at least one person present on-site at any time.
History[edit | edit source]
The facility was originally constructed as a part of the Bergmann Water Tunnel to control the water flow rate in the tunnel, while the on-surface section served as a maintenance building and personnel access. At some point in the future the facility was expanded with a newer section to host the water pumps to extend the range of potable water distribution.
On the morning of August 8th, 2016, the currently stationed[5] employee noted issues with red pipes and ventured into the underground section to examine the issue.[6] During his absence, Markku Siltanen enters the underground portion of the facility as part of routine inspection, and unintentionally triggers a massive collapse of the tunnel beneath the facility, before escaping to the surface portion using the elevator connecting the two. As a result of that, the staircase the station's employee used prior is collapsed, and the fate of that employee is unknown.
