In Volgograd, 40 dangerous crossroads, still flowing in the rain

According to Alexander Khabarov, the head of MU "Komdorstroy", the "KP-Volgograd" told about forty problematic crossroads flooded with water after the precipitation in the city. The search process looks a lot like looking for a treasure. First, with the aid of the remaining maps and maps, the approximate location of the hatch is determined, and then a person specially trained to work with the metal detector is connected.

It establishes the exact place where to cut fresh asphalt. The depth of the "treasure" is 30 to 60 centimeters. Taking into account that on average, an asphalt layer is crammed to 10 centimeters from the road, it is possible to imagine how many years the road builders have, by ignorance or by mistake, buried wells under a thick layer of bitumen.

the place where to dig is chalked. Demolition hammers break the pavement layers and then raise the rainwater up to the existing asphalt level. Then carefully close what has been "bombed" around the trellis.

The mere fact of raising grids is not a panacea. In order for the water to flow without problems, it is necessary to clean not only the wells of the rainwater receivers, but also the storm sewers. Road workers have already promised that they will arrive at this work. Immediately, as soon as the search for hatching is complete. And they badured that after finishing the job, Volgograd, finally, will stop recalling the places in Venice.

On the whole, road workers admit that the city was drowned. But the blame for this is not a rainy sewer that does not work, but the abnormal rains that hit Volgograd twice in ten days. However, it is particularly noted that in places where road repairs have been carried out under the Safe and Quality Roads program, the stormers have faced the flow of water. Only drivers who could not cross Lenin Avenue in the Renaissance area after rain, for whatever reason do not consider .

By the way, raising wells and pits on the surface of the asphalt does not affect the overall operation. Road Properties:

– Raising wells at the level of existing asphalt pavement and sealing the asphalt destroyed with cement is the only possible way to accomplish this type of work, – commented actions urban road builders inform anatomical and badytical department of the company "AV-Techno" Oleg Rodionov. – In simple terms, it is the currently used repair technology, adopted for the "arming" of road workers, which does not cause any particular damage to the asphalt.
