Great video! Thanks for posting. Enjoyed seeing/hearing the operations of an active power/heating/cooling plant. Retired now, after 36 years of running a similar plant for a local major hospital in Oklahoma City. Very interesting career, I do miss it! But it also has it's grueling moments, extreme temperature work environment, and of course, varying shift schedules (holidays, weekends, nights). The show must go on!!! 24/7/365. Our crew consisted of 12 operating engineers (various state, local licenses required) and three management/supervisory people. We did 100% of all maintenance/repairs/upkeep in house, with very minimal reliance on outside contractor support.

True! A very well-paying career, too, that can be had in most cases, without a college degree. Amazes me that most people literally have no idea it all exists. And every single major hospital, office/retail complex, etc., has a power plant located somewhere in the facility. On a different note, maybe you've visited several KZfaq content creators that document abandoned power stations, power plants, around the world. It is astonishing to me the number of plants that are simply 'switched off' and walked away from, left to the elements of nature and decay. "The Proper People" is one channel that has several presentations of abandoned power plants, and it just amazes me these facilities are sitting there rotting away, some for 40, 50, 60, 70 years.@@warriorsofwarmth

Wow! Nice video. I did a workplacement in my local hospital, and we had 2 heavy oil fired steam boilers. All gone now as hospital is linked up to District Biomass steam boiler. Which heats up local District heating scheme with 200 houses 2 care homes and Assembly rooms and hospital. We had a tall chimney, too. I used to climb as well inside it. What's the name of the hospital?

@warriorsofwarmth very interesting set up. Looks like nice equipment and much different than what I see over here. I do water treatment for boilers and cooling towers, etc so I'm always interested in different applications or set ups. Thanks
