In the Khoroshevsky district, specialists from the Moscow City Services Complex are upgrading low-pressure gas pipelines. They are currently installing new polyethylene pipes with a diameter of 110 and 225 millimeters inside the existing communications. The work is taking place on the section between 5th Magistralnaya Street and 2nd Khoroshevsky Drive.
During the reconstruction, both the traditional open-pit method and modern trenchless technologies are used – horizontal directional drilling and auger drilling. Gas workers began upgrading communications in June 2024 and have completed half of the total volume of work to date.
“Moscow is a complex labyrinth of underground utilities, and any modernization requires pinpoint precision. Within the framework of this project to modernize gas pipelines over 1,250 meters long, a combined approach is used. Where appropriate, open laying is used. However, understanding the importance of preserving the urban environment, in difficult areas we use advanced trenchless technologies, minimizing the impact on the surrounding infrastructure,” said Gasan Gasangadzhiev, General Director of Mosgaz JSC.
Horizontal directional drilling technology involves laying pipes underground using specialized drilling rigs. First, specialists make a pilot hole, then expand it to the required diameter and pull the pipe through it. This method eliminates the need for excavations on roads.
Auger boring also involves the use of a special drilling rig. In this case, there is no need to create a trench along the entire route of the communication line, as with the traditional open method.
As reported by the city services complex, the use of advanced technologies allows not only to speed up the process of modernizing communications, but also to minimize the impact on the environment, and not to disrupt the established rhythm of life in the area.
The reconstruction of gas pipelines in the Khoroshevsky district is planned to be completed at the end of this year. The new pipes will serve for more than 40 years.
