Rovers of heat pipes in Pskov daily looking for cracks and leaks

Specialists of MP "Pskov Heat Networks" daily check heating lines to find defects before accidents. About this "MK in Pskov" reported in the press service of the enterprise.

Rovers go along the route along pipes, chambers and hatches and look for cracks on welds, drips on the rebar and soil wetting.
