Autostrada is building a new water supply system for Mykolaiv!

In order to provide the city with high-quality drinking water as soon as possible, more than a thousand specialists and hundreds of units of modern equipment are involved in the work, and all this is done in a 24/7 mode.
We have to complete the facility in a record time of 5 months. Thanks to the DESIGN&BUILD approach, perfect synchronization of all processes is achieved, which allows us to significantly reduce the time frame. We perform all work exclusively by our own forces, without subcontractors. This approach guarantees full control over each stage of construction, strict adherence to schedules and the most efficient use of budget funds.
The total cost of the project, taking into account all additional work, amounted to UAH 6.227 billion - that is, UAH 2.5 billion less than was initially planned (UAH 8.8 billion).
The Autostrada production base operates 24/7 at the facility: concrete and asphalt plants, modern laboratories. Quality control is at each stage.
Construction is divided into three sections: the first (18.4 km) started in March, the second (22.9 km) and the third (26.5 km) in April.
The length of the water pipeline is 67.8 km. Three powerful pumping stations (640–800 kW) are planned on the route, which will ensure a stable water supply.
The water pipeline's throughput capacity is 120,000 m³ per day for Mykolaiv and 50,000 m³ for the land reclamation system of Nova Odessa and Mykolaiv district.
The system will work as follows: water will be taken by four gravity pipes (diameter 1000 mm, length - over 700 m each) from the Southern Bug River in the Nova Odessa area, will be filtered, and then transported through three pumping stations to the water treatment facilities of Mykolaiv.
The water pipeline route is laid outside the boundaries of settlements, which allows to preserve the existing infrastructure and speed up the work. Despite the complex geography of the route - farmland, rivers, roads, railways, gas pipelines - the laying is carried out by horizontal directional drilling without damaging the surface.
Pipes with a diameter of 800–900 mm are used for the network, which can withstand pressure up to 16 atmospheres, are resistant to temperatures, chemicals and have a long service life. At the same time, main and backup power supply lines, transformer substations and backup power sources are being equipped.
All pumping stations and power networks will be located in fortified premises - for safety even in conditions of hostilities.
The final goal is to supply high-quality drinking water to Mykolaiv in August!
