The Mayor of Kazan got acquainted with the modernization of the basic boiler house of the Sovetsky district

Due to the weather conditions, Kazenergo will reduce the period of planned hot water outages.

Three boiler houses of JSC Kazenergo will be renovated this year in Kazan. One of them is located in the Sovetsky district of Kazan at Sibirsky trakt, 27. Ilsur Metshin, Kazan Mayor, got acquainted with the progress of reconstruction works.

The boiler house was built in 1961. The building was reconstructed in 2003, boilers and pumping equipment were replaced. Today it is the basic boiler house of the Sovetsky district. It supplies more than 5.5 thousand citizens with heat energy.

Rustam Abdulkhakov, Director General of JSC Kazenergo, noted that the efficiency of boilers today is 91%, so today there is no need for their modernization. However, the automation needs to be replaced.

“During the modernization, we do not carry out all the large - scale work at once, we do it gradually,”- R.Abdulkhakov told the head of the city. So, in 2019, the foundation of the boiler house was fixed, the roof and blind areas were repaired. “Next year, it is planned to automate another boiler, as well as chemical water treatment, so that the devices operate without humans”, - he said. It is planned to repair the facade of the boiler house, replace part of the fence and entrance gates, and landscaping of the territory in 2020.

Rustam Abdulkhakov also informed the Mayor of Kazan that hydrotesting started later than planned, with a short-term hot water outage in some residential buildings and social facilities. For information, the schedules of network testing were changed as instructed by the Mayor of Kazan in connection with the self-isolation regime and weather conditions. “According to the regulations, we have 14 days to restore hot water supply. But, taking into account the epidemiological situation, we will try to complete the work as soon as possible, so that citizens feel less discomfort in their homes”, - Director General of JSC Kazenergo said.

“It is important to carry out the preparation for the heating season efficiently. It pleases that you commit to reduce the time of pressure testing. Citizens will appreciate it. Elderly people still stay at home – it is difficult for them without hot water - said Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan. -Therefore, I ask you to strengthen work and increase shifts in order to reduce time”.
