The cable car through the Volkhov in Veliky Novgorod will soon be connected to the power grid

Specialists of Novgorodoblenergo conducted preparations to connect to the electric networks two iconic objects of the City-University project - a passenger cable car and the latest semiconductor materials science laboratory, the press service of the government of the Novgorod region reported.

For these facilities, a modern transformer substation was built and more than a kilometer of high-voltage power cables were laid. The power reserve turned out to be more than solid: a thousand kilowatts will be spent on providing a scientific laboratory, and three hundred for the uninterrupted operation of the cable car.

Particular attention was paid to the reliability of the new lines. Head of the capital construction department of Novgorodoblelelektro Andrey Prokofiev explained that a special cable in enhanced protection against moisture and mechanical damage was chosen for the laying. Modern insulation and double sealing ensure that the track will last for many years without accidents and weather surprises.

The construction itself does not stand still either. On both banks of the Volkhov, ground stations of the future cable car are already being built and thirty-meter supports are being raised. The building of the scientific laboratory by this time completely took shape: the reinforced concrete frame is ready, now the workers are engaged in glazing. The nearest plans are to close the thermal circuit, put the facades in order and install internal engineering equipment.
