A new block-modular boiler-house appeared on Portovaya Street, №17

(KZN.RU, September 27, Ekaterina Vislavskaya). Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, inspected the new building of the boiler house on Portovaya Street, №17, in the morning. The head of the city assessed the new facility and noted that it is necessary to make maximum use of the remaining time before the cold weather to prepare for the heating season in order to avoid unforeseen situations.

Six months ago, on March 17, the boiler room was out of order. A part of the roof and the walls of the building collapsed because of the unstable soil and deterioration of the building. No one was hurt, and the houses served by it were connected to another boiler house in a temporary scheme. As a result, the old building of the boiler house was dismantled. In a few months, a new modern block-modular boiler-house appeared in its place. Despite the fact that the new boiler house is about three times smaller than the previous one, its capacity remained the same: 5 MW. As before, it serves 12 houses along streets Devyataev, Zaitsev, Mekhovshchikov, Portovaya, and one kindergarten. The work of the new boiler house is fully automated. Thanks to modern equipment, it can be controlled from the central control room. There are about 10 similar boiler-houses in the city. The AO “Kazenergo” plans to build a similar one in Konstantinovka Settlement.

The Mayor of Kazan inspected the new boiler house: both the building and the German equipment, thanks to which its efficiency, economy and reliability are increased. In addition, the Mayor asked about the plans of AO “Kazenergo” on the modernization of other boiler houses in the city. Rustam Abdulkhakov, the general director of the company, told that approximately 30 out of 150 facilities involved in energy production are more than 50 years old. “After the incident with the collapse of the boiler house, we checked all our facilities. We invite experts in the industrial safety of buildings. They gave us conclusions, on the basis of which we formulate the work plan”, he said. Repair of some boiler houses is carried out at once: walls are strengthened, the roof is replaced. It is planned to start updating others later. In total this year, a complex modernization of equipment and reconstruction of 4 boiler houses is planned.

Ilsur Metshin instructed all responsible departments to pay special attention to the preparation for a new heating season. Last year it started on September 20 and ended on May 3. Iskander Giniyatullin, the deputy head of the Executive Committee, assured the Mayor that the infrastructure for the winter is ready, it remains only to issue some documents. “We are ready. The most important thing is that the winter would be normal. And now, you need to take everything one more time”, concluded the Mayor.

Dmitry Anisimov, the chairman of the Housing and Communal Services Committee, and Andrey Lobov, the head of the Vakhitovsky and Privolzhsky districts’ administration, also took part in the inspection of the boiler house.
