Heating System Upgrades in Odesa
In Odesa, preparations for the winter heating season are ongoing, including hydraulic testing of heating networks.
The pipes are being checked for tightness and strength to minimize emergency situations during the heating season. During this time, the temperature of the heat carrier remains below 40°C. Sections of the heating network that require repairs are being replaced with new ones.
As part of the city's winter preparations, assistance is being provided by the USAID Energy Security Project.
Over the past month, the TMO enterprise has received four deliveries of pre-insulated steel pipes along with necessary fittings and shut-off valves.
In total, the enterprise received pre-insulated steel pipes:
- diameter 325 — 816 meters;
- diameter 219 — 24 meters;
- diameter 108 — 78 meters;
- diameter 57 — 14 meters.
Additionally, TMO has received: ball valves, heat-shrinkable sleeves, fixed straight supports, expansion joints, sealing rings, and insulation kits for joints.
This assistance will enable further planned work to replace damaged heating networks.
TMO urges Odesa residents and visitors to park their vehicles only in designated areas and avoid locations where ground subsidence has been observed. They should also report this to the specialized center for prompt response in the housing and utilities sector — 15-01.
