Two gas pipeline lines under the Moscow River have been built in the northwest of the capital as part of the reconstruction of the Shchukinsky siphon, said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.
“Since 2018, the city has been implementing a comprehensive reconstruction program for 12 high- and medium-pressure siphons. Work on 10 structures has already been completed, and the Kropotkinsky and Shchukinsky siphons are currently being upgraded. A set of microtunneling activities has been completed at the second facility, within the framework of which two gas pipeline lines have been built under the Moscow River,” noted Pyotr Biryukov.
The Shchukinsky gas pipeline-duker appeared in the early 1960s and runs along the bottom at a depth of more than five meters. Its length is 3.5 kilometers, it is located along the territory of the natural and historical park “Moskvoretsky”.
This siphon is the only underwater high-pressure gas pipeline supplying gas to residential, public utility and industrial facilities in the Western and Central Administrative Districts.
During the work, specialists used a tunneling shield, which allowed them to lay a reinforced concrete casing with minimal impact on the environment. According to Petr Biryukov, microtunneling of each section was divided into two intervals: the length of the first tunnel was 231 meters, the second – 197 meters. At the final stage of reconstruction, work will be carried out on the installation of vertical sections of the gas pipeline, its connection to the existing gas supply system, as well as landscaping of the territory.
Specialists from JSC Mosgaz will equip the siphon with automatic shut-off devices, which will allow, if necessary, to remotely shut off the gas supply within two minutes. All materials and pipelines used during the reconstruction are made in Russia and comply with modern safety standards.
The projects implemented in the capital to modernize and improve the reliability of public utilities infrastructure correspond to the goals and objectives of the national project “Infrastructure for life”.
