Kangasvuori Water Tower, Water tower in Huhtasuo district, Jyväskylä, Finland.

The cylindrical concrete water tower rises 20 meters high with a diameter of 24 meters, featuring weather-resistant Corten steel cladding and thermal insulation.

The current structure replaced a previous water tower from 1976 that collapsed in November 2012, leading to a comprehensive safety investigation of similar structures.

The tower demonstrates Finnish engineering principles through its design, incorporating flat-bottom reservoir technology and reinforced concrete construction methods.

The facility maintains a water capacity of 2500 cubic meters and operates with a normal water level fluctuation range of five meters.

The investigation of the previous tower's collapse revealed hydrogen embrittlement in tension cables, resulting in new safety standards for water tower construction in Finland.
