Ur videos are literally the highlight of my day. U find so many sick spots and watching u explore them is always so entertaining. I also post similar stuff but am not as experienced at urbex as you so if there’s any tips u can give me that’d be awesome!
@@Urbex_Offlimits So glad to hear that Bandit is great!! I am a kitty lover myself, with three of them all over me constantly, and of course, causing a nuisance in all kinds of lovely kitty cat ways!
Better late than never on this one, we sure enjoyed it though 4:16! There's mention in the comments CDI Demolition will bring it down. They have a RUclips channel, I'll be keepin an eye out. #TheLoizeauxGroupLLC Can I ask when this was filmed? Stayin tuned! 👍🤠
Do the folks responsible for such properties ever make any attempt at all to let someone interested in vintage tech come salvage some of that beautiful instrumentation? I'm guessing not, no profit in it so they just destroy it all.
@@Urbex_OfflimitsThe "money people" in charge of such things tend to have no regard for or interest in anything other than making themselves richer. They're really pretty useless and boring.
Actually, you're wrong about where the control room is located. The ground level is 30' msl, the Turbine Deck is at elev. 50 with the floor of the Control Room at elev 60. The CR was situated between the two boilers, at 5:38 you entered the CR from Unit 7 side with an opposite matching doorway exiting to the Unit 6 side. The boilers are now gone, the throttle pressure was 3607#, and the final steam temperature was COOLED down to 1000*F before going to the High Pressure 3600rpm turbine which then exhausted back to the boiler for more heat and energy, then back to the Intermediate Pressure turbine blades, which then the steam exhausted to the Low Pressure 1800 rpm shaft. This is called a Cross Compound Turbine setup. On startup, the two shafts were electrically sync'ed. Units 6 & 7 were each good for 742MW out to the grid. Pause at 6:41-:43, you can see "across the street" to the original building which housed Units 1-5, plus 3 house units. At 2:50 he entered the relay room just below the CR. How do I know all this? My father worked as an Operator here for 25 years before transferring to the Geothermal Power complex. When they were building these two units the Operators were required to work 16hr days, 7 days a week for 18months straight. My dad was qualified to run all 7 units. In addition to that I followed in his footsteps and also rose to the status of Control Operator, also qualified to run all 7 units. LAN ID: HRW1 retired

I appreciate ya. I have so many videos that need to be edited. lots more to come over the years. Thanks for watching!
Very cool! Got to see a little bit just in the nick of time. Great to see you back again. Is Bandit still ok?
Bandit is great. Have lots of footage just not as much time to edit lately but I'll try to get a more out

Unfortunately no like you said no profit they don't care

That building is the boiler house the main control room is in the turbine hall that place is definitely going to be blown up by c.d.i.
I'll be keepin an eye out for it on their YT channel.

Turbine hall was toast haha. Just waiting on a demo video at this point 🤘
@@Urbex_Offlimits .I would love to have the turbine hall

I forgot to add that the two stacks are 523' high and inside the base of each were Distilled water tanks each good for 250,000 gallons of water.
