Mustankallio water tower

Mustankallio water tower lies in the Kiveriö district of Lahti, Finland, and stands 50 metres (160 ft) tall.

The design, which features pre-stressed concrete elements and asbestos cement cladding, was a departure from the steel water tower structures commonly built in the region.

[5][6][2] It is constructed of pre-stressed concrete elements built locally, under license from the German Dyckerhoff & Widmann (Dywidag) company.

[2] The main body contains two drinking water reservoirs with a combined capacity of 225,000 imperial gallons (1,020,000 L), protected from freezing by a lining of mineral wool.

[2][8][9] The tower also contains a meeting room capable of housing 30 to 40 people, a sauna that can accommodate 15, a lounge, kitchen, toilet and showers.
