I. Metshin visited the construction site of the new SPS “Zarechnaya”

(KZN.RU, September 28, Anton Nozdrin). Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, got acquainted with the plan of construction of sewage pumping station “Zarechnaya” in the Kirovsky district of the city directly on the site of the future construction, where the preparatory work has already begun.

Andrey Egorov, the director of the Municipal Unitary Enterprise “Vodokanal”, reported that the construction of such a large object is broken into stages and will begin in October. “The SPS itself entered the first stage, switching camera from existing reservoirs, removal of the two collectors to the switching the camera”, said A. Egorov. The first stage is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2017. Completed work will ensure smooth operation of the sewerage system and connection to the networks of more than 50 constructing houses and social facilities.

The fence has been installed, work on clearing debris and dead wood of the area are maintained, and installation of construction machinery is carrying out now on the construction site.

The second stage of work will include the construction of a new pressure reservoir, which diameter is 1400 mm. Construction of the office building is also planned. The new collector will pump up to 20 thousand cubic meters of wastewater per hour with the SPS “Zarechnaya” on the water treatment plant, whereas the current discharge collector cannot pump more than 15 thousand cubic meters per hour. Increased bandwidth will allow building about 6.5 million square meters of housing for the residents of Kazan. Fully all stages of work are scheduled for completion by 2028.

I. Metshin inspected the project and noted that the construction of the SPS “Zarechnaya” is a momentous decision for urban infrastructure. “All made decisions will allow us to put into operation those investment construction projects, which is in the Zarechie now”, said the Mayor of Kazan.

Denis Kalinkin, the head of the Executive Committee, Azat Nigmatzyanov, the first deputy head of the Executive Committee on urban policy, Iskander Giniyatullin, the deputy head of the Executive Committee on Housing and the chairman of the Housing Committee, Sergei Mironov, the head of the of the Kirovsky and Moskovsky districts administration, also attended the meeting.

62 sewage pumping stations, more than 1,200 km of sewerage network, including 183 km of pressure sewers and 1073 km of gravity sewers are in domestic sewage system Kazan. 38 000 sewer manholes are intended for maintenance of networks. The SPS “Verhnyaya”, working since 1973, is in emergency state and is no longer able to pump the required amount of sewage. The design capacity of the station does not meet the needs of the rapidly growing city. Design and construction documents for the construction of the SPS “Zarechnaya”, developed in 2014, has passed the examination and received a positive opinion. The station will be fully automated. High-tech pumping equipment, as well as the filtration and air purification will be installed at the SPS.
