Autostrada has completed the construction of two water pipelines in the Dnipropetrovsk region
Autostrada has finished building new water supply infrastructure for the Tomakivka and Myrivka communities. The project involved constructing two modern pumping and filtration stations and four clean water reservoirs with a total capacity of 2,700 m³, as well as installing automated pumping and water treatment equipment.
To connect the new facilities to the water supply system, Autostrada installed 2.1 km of supply piping (in two parallel lines) and 4.5 km of distribution networks, complete with shut-off valves and fire hydrants.
This new infrastructure is a continuation of a large-scale project implemented by Autostrada in 2024. At that time, our team built the "Zaporizhzhia–Tomakivka–Marhanets" main water pipeline in just eight months; following the destruction of the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant, this pipeline provided water to over one million residents of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Thanks to the completion of this new project phase, residents of the Tomakivka and Myrivka communities now have access to a full-cycle water supply system—ranging from water transport via the main pipeline to purification and stable delivery directly to consumers.
How the new water treatment system will operate:
1. Water from the existing main pipeline will flow into the station through two main supply lines. In the first stage, special reagents will be added in measured doses. Permanganate and sodium hypochlorite will oxidize organic impurities, while sulfuric acid will be used to adjust the pH level. 2. Next, the water will pass through disc filters designed to trap mechanical particles larger than 200 microns. This serves not only as a pre-treatment step but also as protection for the main equipment—the ultrafiltration membranes. Afterward, the water will be collected in two tanks with a combined capacity of 40 m³.
3. The next and crucial stage is ultrafiltration. Before reaching the membranes, a coagulant will be added to the water to bind the finest contaminants, such as colloids, bacteria, and a significant portion of viruses.
4. Following ultrafiltration, the treated water will flow into two clean water storage tanks. Prior to storage, secondary disinfection using sodium hypochlorite will be performed. This is essential to maintain water quality not only within the tanks but also during its transport through the pipeline network.
5. From the tanks, a pumping station will distribute the water to meet the communities' domestic and household needs.
Water quality will be monitored at every stage. Laboratory testing will cover pH levels, turbidity, color, and the content of iron, manganese, and ammonium, as well as hardness, alkalinity, and residual chlorine levels.
Some parameters will be measured automatically. Specifically, the pH value of the source water will be transmitted to a central controller and logged in the SCADA system, enabling continuous equipment monitoring and a prompt response to any changes.
Thus, the project encompasses a complete technological cycle—from pre-treatment to disinfection, storage, laboratory monitoring, and automated process control.
Commissioning works are currently underway at the facilities. Specialists are verifying the operation of all technological processes and system control algorithms, particularly the system's response to potential emergency situations. Simultaneously, the reagent dosage is being fine-tuned based on actual water quality readings. Water samples are being collected for laboratory analysis. Once all parameters are confirmed to meet regulatory standards, the treated water will be supplied to the consumer water distribution network.
