We missed the turbine hall with this one but the control room was well worth getting locked in for 6 hours ![Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/xenforo/smile.png)
Grain Power Station is a closed and now partly dismantled oil-fired and CCGT power station in Kent, England, it had an operational capacity of 1,320 megawatts (1,770,000 hp) and is owned by E.ON . the station opened in 1979 and it has the second tallest chimney in the UK at 801 feet tall. this place is big and dangerous there's RSJ hanging in the air just by a few bolts and because of the high winds bricks seemed to be falling every few minutes one landed just in front of me at one point. there are holes in many of the floors that drop from the very top down to the ground level ! but if you ask me the real crazy thing on this site is part of the sub station out the back is still very much live so walking through it at night with it humming away got the pulse racing a bit, in fact as we got into the site we could hear something arcing and it ended up being the electrodes on two very big circuit breakers, the arc was about 10 or 15 foot and was something amazing to see for sure !! needless to say we kept well away from it and if anyone takes a trip here DO NOT walk anywhere near this thing as 66KV and upwards can and will jump over to you if you get too close and at these voltages you will be turned instantly into something resembling pencil lead ! I was told by someone on 28DL that Speed had a go at this station but could not do it and because of that he told everyone else it could not be done , what more can I say lol , he did contact me about 8 or 9 weeks ago and asked about access but I gave him the same info I got from him years ago when I asked for help on a site and that was fuck all ! anyway lets speak no more of silly people and on with the pictures.
I'm happy to say we got here just in time as the control room is being stripped, out of the five desks two had been completely stripped out but the ones left are great looking.
here is a video of the demolition of part the machine bay , this was filmed by Brown and Mason the same wankers that took Pyestock from us lol !
