Controlroom S is found on the huge site of Factory John Cockerill, in some outer corner.
Parts of it are demolished by now.
We spent at least 3 hours in the building of Controlroom S alone.
A week later we visited the actual cokesplant. Just one day over there wasn't enough, you could compare it a bit with HFB. Although there is a building with security on this site. Steer clear of that.
There are many ways of enetering, some easy, some a bit harder. Controlroom S is in a pretty bad shape atm, but parts of the giant cokesfactory are in better condition. Take your time over here and make sure to bring water, a snack and some good company with you. It's a wonderful place with lots to discover.
Don't wait ages to visit this place as it will probably get demolished even more in the future.

Spot génial pour de jolies vues ou de la grimpe,
Pour de l'urbex pur et dur, il ne vous conviendra peut-être pas, cause dégradation

A l’abandon depuis 2010 suite au déclin de l’industrie sidérurgique de la région, l'activité de cette entreprise consistait à la fabrication de cylindres de laminoirs, d'un diamètre allant jusqu'à un mètre. A sa grande époque, la production était d'environ 7000 tonnes par an.

Parkeren kon best dichtbij , alleen stonden er een aantal politie auto’s in de buurt. Misschien een werk plek voor politie die vlak ernaast ligt ?
Je moet dus snel langs lopen en hopen niet gezien te worden !

Na even te zoeken waar we de auto zouden kunnen zetten, toch maar voor een dichtbijzijnde parkeerplaats van het bedrijventerrein gekozen. Buiten zagen we dat aan de voorkant een vrachtwagen stond, die aan het werk waa.. even twijfelden we of we ongezien binnen zouden komen aangezien ze voor de ingang stonden, of iniedergeval zo leek het. Vlug lopen en hopen dat niemand ons zou zien leek ons het beste plan. Een rondje om de fabriek lopen om te kijken of ergens nog een andere ingang zou zijn, jahoor die was er. Een beetje een onhandige ingang maar te makkelijk is ook niet leuk zeggen we dan maar. Eenmaal binnen was het kantoren gedeelte een grote puinhoop. Overal lagen papieren, klappers en kasten die waren omgegooid. Beetje jammer dit. De fabriek is ontzettend groot met overal trappen en deuren die weer leiden naar de volgende kamer. We hoorden de stemmen van de werklui tot binnen, we waren dus wel op onze hoede.

Toen we een soort van regelkamer (controlroom) hadden gevonden was er helaas niet veel meer van over. Er was met graffiti op de beeldschermen geklad, of kapot en de nodige rotzooi. Daarentegen de controlroom boven zag er een stuk beter uit. Mooie plek voor foto's.

Het binnenkomen was lastig, buiten waren er veel mensen aan het werk, en in de directe omgeving was er een incident gaande, waardoor er brandweer én een hele hoop politie aanwezig was in de directe omgeving.
Toch ongezien binnen kunnen komen, en mooie foto’s kunnen maken!
Let op: de vloer is op een aantal plaatsen echt slecht, ook is er veel bedrijvigheid rondom het gebouw van werklui.

Toch weer terug gegaan naar de fabriek van John cockerill in België.
Deze keer om echt binnen te geraken. Toegang was makkelijk. Door de open garage deur achterom
Wat n ruimtes en wat n geweldige control room. Noet eens n bordje verboden toegang.
Jammer dat de andere cockerill fabriek in deze plaats hermetisch afgesloten is wegens sloop

Het was even zoeken en klimmen om binnen te geraken. Mooie fabriek. Heel weinig graffiti nog binnen. Donkere kelder met mooie spullen. En natuurlijk de prachtige control room S. En zoals zovaak een gemakkelijkere uitgang dan ingang gevonden.

It took some searching and climbing to get in. Beautiful factory. Very little graffiti left inside. Dark cellar with beautiful things. And of course the beautiful control room S. And as so often found an easier exit than entrance.

Dit is 1 van de vele aan de staalindustrie geliëerde fabrieken. Van buiten is het een prachtig gebouw met heel veel oude details. Binnenkant is helaas veel gesloopt.
Tijdens ons bezoek werd er helaas ook gewerkt.

Deze locatie was echt mooi om te doen. Echter bij binnenkomst werden we verrast door mensen die daar rondliepen. Die kwamen vragen wat we kwamen doen toen we zeiden we maken foto's was er echter geen enkel probleem.
