SIBECO is preparing for hydraulic tests of Novosibirsk heating networks

From May 15, 2017, Siberian Energy Company JSC begins to test heat networks for density and strength in turn in various districts of Novosibirsk. Technical work will be carried out in stages, minimizing the time limiting hot water supply to consumers and the number of simultaneously disconnected consumers.

In accordance with the Decree of the City Hall of Novosibirsk No. 2110 dated 05.05.2017, as well as in order to organize the transition to summer operation, networks will be tested around the clock with increased pressure to identify weakened sections of pipelines. During the implementation of measures, in case of pipeline rupture, soil erosion and water outflow to the surface are possible. The last stages of testing related to the disconnection of consumers will be completed in July 2017.

During the tests, the heads of organizations and departments, directors of management companies, HOAs, and housing cooperatives were recommended to strengthen supervision over the territories, streets, inter-quarter and intra-house driveways under which the tested heating mains pass. Citizens need to prevent children from being unsupervised on the streets near heating mains, and car owners must be especially careful when driving, since in most cases heating mains pass under the roadway.

If soil erosion is detected and water comes to the surface, it is necessary to report by phone:

051 - unified dispatching service of the City Hall.
