In Kazan, the reconstruction of the retaining wall on Bulak on the site from Parizhskoy Kommuny Street to Tatarstan street will be completed in early September, now it is 80% completed. The Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin visited the site and inspected the progress of restoration work.
The retaining wall on Bulak, built in the 1970s, collapsed due to metal corrosion of the embeds, with which decorative plates were attached to a reinforced concrete flow passage. After the research work, it was decided to restore the wall using modern technologies and durable materials. “Now the retaining wall is a single monolithic part that is attached to the flow passage. Due to this, the wall will be adjusted tightly”, - Igor Kulyazhev, Deputy head of the Executive Committee of Kazan, told the head of the city.
Currently, specialists of the contracting organization – Municipal Unitary Enterprise “Gorodskoe blagoystroistvo” – have restored 81 meters of the wall – the entire overhauled area, and 61 meters of capping beam. To carry out work in the passage, the water level was lowered. “In 2 days, workers will begin to remove the scaffolding, polish and paint the retaining wall”, - said I.Kulyazhev. After preparing the wall for painting, the workers will proceed to the arrangement of fences, installation of lighting poles, landscaping and cleaning of the site from silt.
The Mayor of Kazan interested about the results of the survey of other sections of the retaining wall. According to I.Kulyazhev, the results of the survey, which revealed the vertical deviation of the plates on a separate site, were sent to the Ministry of Construction, Architecture and Housing of the republic to make recommendations on its maintenance.
For reference, the retaining wall on Bulak collapsed in April this year. The Mayor of Kazan instructed to allocate funds from the municipal reserve fund for the restoration of the site.
