More than 170 people were involved in the work, reports Minenergo.
Work is currently ongoing to dismantle the damaged pipeline compensator, and preparations are underway for its replacement. The work is complicated by weather conditions — at night, the air temperature dropped to minus 19 degrees Celsius.
Given the location of the damaged section of the heating main, the use of special equipment was difficult — a number of technological operations were performed by the crews almost manually.
Minenergo emphasizes that all necessary measures are being taken for the quickest possible completion of works and restoration of the normal heat supply regime for consumers.
On the morning of Monday, January 19, a heating main was damaged on Academician Karsky Street in Minsk. As a result, residents of five districts of the capital — Frunzensky, Moskovsky, Tsentralny, Sovetsky, and Oktyabrsky — found that their radiators had gone cold, and hot water had disappeared from their taps.
Heat returned to the apartments only by evening.
