Parkanon vesitorni, Water tower in Parkano, Finland.
The steel water tower rises 40 meters above ground level and features a hexagonal ring tank constructed from circular pipes at its summit.
Built in 1970 by Parkano Oy, this structure represented an innovative attempt to develop mass-producible steel water towers with capacities ranging from 150 to 1000 cubic meters.
The tower stands as a testament to Finnish engineering innovation, marking a shift from traditional concrete construction methods to prefabricated steel components.
The tower maintains a water volume of 600 cubic meters and incorporates continuous pumping systems to ensure constant water circulation throughout the facility.
Despite being intended as a prototype for mass production supported by Sitra, this water tower remained the only one ever constructed using this specific manufacturing method.
