Repairing Water Supply in Odesa After Pipeline Break
In Odesa, an emergency break in a 1200 mm diameter main water pipeline outside the city limits led to the shutdown of several pumping stations to drain the pipeline.
To access the damaged area and commence repairs, it took nearly a day to construct access roads and a platform for heavy machinery.
Working on large diameter main pipelines requires excavators weighing at least 18 tons, so specialists from «Infoksvodokanal» had to create a special «cushion» made of several layers of concrete slabs and sand. They used over 150 tons of sand.
Currently, specialists have excavated a trench, reached the damage site, and started the repair work.
Due to the lack of centralized water supply, technical water delivery has been organized.
On June 13, water tanker trucks with technical water are stationed from 07:00 at the following addresses:
- Pedagogichna St, 46a.
