Ashgabat commissioned a complex of mudflow protection structures

Сегодня в южной части туркменской столицы ввели в эксплуатацию комплекс селезащитных сооружений. В открытии инженерного сооружения приняли участие президент Туркменистана Сердар Бердымухамедов, члены правительства и другие официальные лица страны, сообщает электронная газета “Туркменистан”.
The President of Turkmenistan watched musical performances by masters of culture and art. Then, in a specially organized conference hall, Serdar Berdymukhamedov delivered a congratulatory speech on the occasion of the inauguration. The head of state noted the importance of this large engineering facility, which will allow the capital to comprehensively solve a number of social problems.
Then President Serdar Berdymukhamedov familiarized himself with the facility and handed the head of the State Committee for Water Resources the keys to new service vehicles and special equipment.
The complex consists of 8 mudflow reservoirs, where the beds of 12 logs characterized by an increased risk of debris flow.
The construction of engineering protection structures was carried out by the Russian company Vozrozhdenie.
The project was developed in collaboration with the Sevkavgiprovodkhoz design and research institute in Pyatigorsk. This scientific institution was founded in 1927, and today it is among the largest design organizations working in the field of Russian water management. "Sevkavgiprovodkhoz" was involved in the design of facilities located in the most mudflow-prone areas of the Russian Federation.
The mudflow protection dam is designed like a dam and is located above the urban development and key transport communications. According to the builders, it has the stability necessary to accept a maximum volume of debris flow at a time, as well as to withstand without damage the seismic activity of magnitude 9-9.5.
The solid fractions of the debris flow will stay in the upstream part of the dam, and all incoming water will eventually be discharged into the existing Ashgabat Canal.
In addition, the company has reconstructed 3 bridges across the Ashgabat Canal and renewed its concrete lining on the section from Serkhovuzly to the Karakum River.
