Hiekkaharju water tower, Water tower in Simonkylä, Vantaa, Finland.

The Hiekkaharju water tower rises 50 meters above ground level and features an 8,000-cubic-meter tank for water storage and distribution.

The structure, completed in 2021, was built to address increasing water supply needs in East Vantaa as the local population continued to expand.

The tower's exterior design includes perforated aluminum sheets that create a pattern of water bubbles, reflecting Finnish architectural preferences.

Solar panels mounted on the roof generate electricity for the LED lighting system that illuminates the structure during nighttime hours.

The construction process involved lifting a 5,000-tonne water tank using 90 hydraulic jacks, marking a significant engineering achievement.
