According to the documents seen by HS and other information from HS, there are many risks associated with cutting off the electricity. If the city of Helsinki’s electricity company Helen stops supplying electricity to the hall, groundwater threatens to rise into the premises.
For example, the training hall is below the water table inside the rock. Electric drainage pumps keep groundwater out of the training hall.

According to HS, the company that maintains the tanks has agreed on Friday to empty the ammonia from the hangars for free.
Hall has been rented to the hall company by the City of Helsinki. City office manager Jukka-Pekka Ujula says that he does not have a detailed idea of what the most concrete risks of power cuts are.
“I have understood that the threat [sähköjen katkaisemiseksi] is acute.”
Ujula does not take a position on whether a representative of Helsinki Hall has been in contact with the city and expressed concern about possible risks.
“If there is a possibility of environmental damage or something else, we have the authorities to intervene,” says Ujula.
According to HS’s statement earlier in August, Helsinki Hall is insolvent.
The halliytiö is no longer able to pay its mandatory bills related to property maintenance, because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs specified in June that third parties cannot pay them with the exemption granted to the halliytiö.
