In Pskov, the first string of a new sewer pipeline is completed

In Pskov, a large-scale reconstruction of pressure sewerage pipelines is coming to an end on the site from the pumping station on I. Golovko Street to Vokzalnaya Street. About this "MK in Pskov" reported in MP Pskov "Gorvodokanal".

The project involves replacing the worn-out network and laying two polyethylene pipelines with a diameter of 300 mm, each with a length of 526.5 meters. The first line of the site is fully stretched and will soon be put into operation, the laying of the second is planned to be completed during November 2026. The presence of two parallel pipelines will allow to quickly redirect wastewater in emergency situations.

According to the chief engineer of Gorvodokanal Andrey Alyabyev, the reconstruction was complicated by the proximity of the private sector, narrow roads, many other communications and the proximity of the railway, which required special security measures and additional approvals.

To minimize the impact on urban infrastructure, the specialists used trenchless methods: drilling an existing pipe with the replacement of a new one, and on the site under the carriageway of the Soviet Army street - partly a method in which the plastic pipe is compressed and dragged inside the old one. This made it possible to do without opening the roadway and stopping traffic.
