It is not a truck plant.

All of the other buildings had a hand on what went on in this building. A machine shop was just one building out of the 12-15.

In the fourth picture down, you can see a part of two circles. The inner circle is 22 feet in diameter and my son is standing on the far side of that circle.

That inner circle has a BIG factor on what went on in that building.

With that turntable, it could be a roundhouse for train repair, but since it's owned by a watershed agency, it's probably for boat (Big Boat) repair?

EDIT to say it is not a turntable.
No trains, boats or planes.
What was TESTED inside that building was huge.

In the pic below, I am standing on the spot that also played a big part at what went on in that building.


EDIT again to say that the anchor point is one of MANY.

I was going to guess that it was used to test engines of some sort. (Like rocket engines?) The tie downs were to prevent whatever it was from scooting off.
Or maybe it was part of a missile base or something.
Hard to tie any of that to the water department.

Wait... maybe a turbine or some sort of pump or generator?

We have a winner in Raydar.
This was one of two anchors that I saw and it was huge. My son is standing about 5-6 feet to the side of the one in the pic
and he is 6ft tall. Notice the shadow on the R/H side of the anchor block to try and get some idea on the size.


The shot of the building were I was quite a bit away from it (in Raydar's response) is to show you how far they rolled the building away
from the 22ft diameter EXHAUST of the largest rocket motor when they test fired it.

Here are some more of the buildings.
This was the fire station with my Sunfire parked inside.


I do not know what these buildings were used for.










In this pic, I am standing on top of the anchor that is in the above pics were my son is standing next to it.


In some of the pics you can see the dirt that was piled up against the building in order to protect it from any mis-haps that might have occurred.

Click on the link for some more pics and a history of your tax dollars.
Look at the second to last pic in the link to get an idea of how big the exhaust was during a test fire.
Notice the building to the left of the flame and that is the building that I mentioned gets rolled away from the 22ft diameter circle.

The company was and still is The Aerojet General Corp. of Sacramento Calif.

Google ---Aerojet Everglades-- to get more info.

I hope you enjoyed the pics and lets keep them coming with some New Years pics.

Happy New Year.

EDIT for spelling and to add this pic from the above link.
