Housing and Communal Services Department: preparation of heat sources for the heating season is being completed in the Vitebsk region
Commissioning work is currently underway at boiler houses in the agro-town of Babinichi, Orsha district, Braslav, and Shumilino, where reconstruction of heat sources with the installation of wood-fired boilers was carried out. Inefficient equipment has been replaced at two boiler houses in Orsha and one in Dokshitsy.
Currently, planned repairs and replacement of heating networks continue, with a predominant use of pre-insulated pipes (50 km replaced, or 77% of the target). The accumulation of local types of fuel is also underway. According to the latest data, the volume of firewood and wood chips reserves is 350 thousand cubic meters (87.4% of the plan), and peat is 8 thousand tons. Boiler houses and mini-CHP plants using local fuels are equipped with platforms and sheds for drying and storing solid fuel. Additional storage facilities are being equipped where necessary.
During the preparation of the housing stock in the region, approximately 5.8 thousand heating points, heating systems of 6.5 thousand houses were also repaired, roofs with a total area of 78 thousand square meters (98%) and panel joints with a total length of 36.9 thousand linear meters (96%) were repaired. Preparatory work is ongoing at water supply and wastewater disposal facilities.
