Thanks for going back in and providing a more in-depth look at what remains. From what others have said, you really just want to burn everything that gets stained from being in there. I swear the last time you all were in there, it was in much better shape and seemed like all you had to do was flip a few switches and turn on the sumps and it would have been ready to go.
how do you know the oxygen content of the air in there. if there is no air flow and lots of iron about the rusting over time can remove a fair bit of the oxygen?
Amazing location but man that place is a death trap! Full of holes and toxic chemicals. I’m surprised that place is even accessible and hasn’t been sealed. Thanks for sharing!
IKS Exploration Ian, did you catch on that those transformers were tipped up on end for the scrapper's harvest, and they would normally be riding on those little rollers? Look at the direction of the lifting hooks. That end up!
Yes I agree, at 21:19 they are looking at the top of the transformer with the lid removed. The three square sections pointing towards them are the steel core laminations. Each square section would have had a copper winding around them. Must have taken some toppling over though.
I would like to think they do, they should also lower it down cat ladders for 5 mins so the gas monitor adjust to the environment, I have offered my advice as a fully trained / professional confined space guardian at dungeness power station
Sadly it is par for the course with our oppressive regime, can,t carry a knife to defend yourself against criminals like every other country that actually cares lets you do, cant do this cant do that and above all do as we say not as we do.
What an amazing place ! If that had to be built today, it would probably take many many years and plenty of red tape and H&S issues ! Do you know If there any books available on this and similar sites ?
I think you guys should permanently ditch the wellies and get those fishing "sock" wellies that go up to or above the knee and secure with a strap like garter. Much more efficient and simpler to use (as wellies can get flooded if you're near the edge and walk with them).
Absolutely fascinating - but still one of the very nastiest places you've explored. From about 32:40, the GoPro footage looks like a scene from the original 'Alien' movie (1979).
Most of the damage in these facilities is probably done in the late stages of decommissioning. Could have been contractors on behalf of the MoD or the MoD staff themselves.
I read on a site that 2 blokes died during the construction of this place after spending lunch in the pub they went for a kip behind the shuttering an got buried alive when the poured the concrete
At around 16:12 > there is a heavy sigh heard then at 16:50 an orb or two appears. IKS Exploration are not ghost hunters but ghost hunter channels would have a field day down there.
Great video guy's, looking forward to the next one. Ian when was this place vacated ? I notice the electrical safety at work regs poster was a post 1989 edition.
I dont get it what type of pleasure do people get for damaning history like this, leaving water running, burning places and of course the hated graffiti....
Amazing video I wonder why they let it all go to waste as soon as I saw those engines I thought of Fred Dibnah he would’ve seen that and told us a little history about is there any plans to clean that place up looks really bad Keep up the good work
Surgest for a better camera lot better then a go pro it’s called a neo soul tech nearly a hundred times better well been watching loads of your vids while I’ve been sick great ones
Love this place but dam u guys need to b safe that tipe of messing around could get u stuck in there if he broke his leg dam I don't eavin want to think about it
fantastic that it still remains and not completely destroyed . Before they locked this place they should have sent down a pile of climate activists and it will be cleaned in an environmentally friendly way haha
What an astonishing place great explore guys 🇬🇧🇬🇧🛸🛸👍

What an impressive engine room.
Hope for you that you did not end up badly after your fall.

Wow this place should be turned into a museum and it would be even nicer to get those enginesrunning kind regards from Mark and Cornwall UK
Hi folks, how often you check air quality? Never seen on your videos..
Which is joy to watch!
I like to think they do it off camera, they have mentioned having a gas meter before.
look at the dust/vapor at 7:51, that would freak me out
I would like to think they do, they should also lower it down cat ladders for 5 mins so the gas monitor adjust to the environment, I have offered my advice as a fully trained / professional confined space guardian at dungeness power station
If anyone else had that mess on their property the government would seize it then lock you up and throw the key away.

Superb video folks.

This video was great. Thank you

Someones opened "the wrong" valve. One things for sure, now it needs a proper clean up.
GREAT PLACE thanks for the cool video dude !!
Good morning folk I'm a new sub here I've been binge watching your vids .Great channel ;)
Good video chaps, keep it up!!
I read on a site that 2 blokes died during the construction of this place after spending lunch in the pub they went for a kip behind the shuttering an got buried alive when the poured the concrete
Great video guys you really need to add gloves to your kit.
There's some big deep sumps around them pumps your lucky you didn't fall in. Love the vids folks
wow!wow!wow! good work chaps! all that oil everywhere is from the transformers its use as coolant
Insulation actually, it's just also handy as a coolant.
Muy buena exploración!!!
Un cordial saludo desde BS AS

Looks very interesting

1990s sometime I think
I dont get it what type of pleasure do people get for damaning history like this, leaving water running, burning places and of course the hated graffiti....
Personal protection equipment, please! O2 monitor at very least to keep you alive. Great video but we need you safe so you can make more!
Respect Boy's
What an amazing place, but how did they get all that heavy equipment down there.
Part two your see :)
Amazing video I wonder why they let it all go to waste as soon as I saw those engines I thought of Fred Dibnah he would’ve seen that and told us a little history about is there any plans to clean that place up looks really bad Keep up the good work
Thanks!!!
Hey Could you PLEASE Turn ON TH-cam auto generated Subtitles/closed captions when uploading videos PLEASE. Thanks
Whatever happened to number one fan? Haven't seen him on any of your recent videos for a long time. Did he leave IKS for unknown mystery reasons?
He’s still with us just life situations limit meet ups folk
Good to hear. Thanks for the reply. Cheers.
Cool lads
What the hell is that noise at 3:13ish?????????
Ahh i wonderd that,its like Ian found something or someone in that doorway,did them in then hastily climbed back up hoping no one else noticed
I saw myself on the drone footage 😀
Dont drone on about it :D
Ever had paranormal activities while exploring.
Check out our video from a couple of weeks back folk 😊
With how deep underground it is and how much concrete there is could this place survive a nuclear attack?
You guys really should wear gloves. Otherwise a great video! =D
Didnt get to do this 1 done other 1 tho
Surgest for a better camera lot better then a go pro it’s called a neo soul tech nearly a hundred times better well been watching loads of your vids while I’ve been sick great ones
Version en français merci!!
no toxic fumes ?
They built so many stuff for the war but they were defeated so everything was abandoned
I would like to be a fly on the wall as it was getting built, The Man hours going in to it be safe guys 👍👍👍😎😎
Love this place but dam u guys need to b safe that tipe of messing around could get u stuck in there if he broke his leg dam I don't eavin want to think about it
Would have been funny if Chris disappeared down that hole lol
fantastic that it still remains and not completely destroyed . Before they locked this place they should have sent down a pile of climate activists and it will be cleaned in an environmentally friendly way haha
I remember when you first put that video clip up of Darren flying down that ramp :-D
