I’m in the tunnels. About a 15 minute walk. Old hospital that was shut down a few decades ago that is now another business that some may be familiar with. I do maintenance for two, soon to be three sites and I basically babysit a building. Ancient 1800s bullshit that has been decommissioned for god knows how fucking long. Some of those are steam pipes for steam heating and power, now long dead.
Babysit some boilers, swap out a controller or board from a limited supply of domestic parts from businesses that vaporized in the 80s. Babysit RTUs, replace some pump seals every few months because they don’t have water softeners which is a project in itself. Not that iron pipes help anyways
Pretty sure there’s an ammonia system down at the other building that made my fucking eyes bug out. I have no idea what the fuck they’re doing with it or if it gets maintained. Not fuckin touching that.
cooling tower shut off and sensor housing
I have no fucking idea what this room was. Completely abandoned at this point.

That sounds like an interesting gig. I babysat weekend fleamarket for a few months.
It certainly is.
I can’t think of anything but this being a backrooms level
thankfully looks like it has modern fire detection equipment, hope the annuals have been kept up with
It’s funny you say that because since it was built in the 1800s building code has it set under the same standards that “vintage cars” have without needing to be modernized as much. I believe the city covered the sprinklers and water pipe system since it was easy to hook it up to the main but I believe there is only a 80 or so smoke detectors for an entire eight+ story building. Now that is some scary shit.
Also yes, they are kept up with, that is my job.
it seems like a scenery from resident evil or silent hill, beware of monsters or lethal viruses
It’s great because I have to take a 1920s freight elevator to the basement and it straight up feels like 2.
