Reconstruction of 110 kV PTL in the left-bank area of Rostov-on-Don under the motor road bed aligned with the bridge crossing on Voroshilovskogo Prospect

The line reconstruction allowed the implementation of the urban planning concepts, uninterruptible power supply of the central and left-bank areas of Rostov-on-Don, including infrastructure facilities of the newly erected Rostov Arena Stadium. The Regional Department of the State Construction Supervision Service for the Rostov Region inspected the facility and issued resolution No.01.002.2390-2018 on the compliance of the capital facility being reconstructed with requirements of technical rules, other laws, and regulations, design and estimate documentation. The resolution was approved by Order No.38/GSN/1753 dated April 13, 2018. Rostov-on-Don Architecture and Urban Development Department granted the commissioning permit No.61-310-916509-2018 dated June 29, 2018. The facility was commissioned.

Reconstruction of 110 kV Elista-Zapadnaya — Elista-Vostochnaya OHL and 35 kV Elista-Zapadnaya — Elista Poultry Plant OHL with removal from Elista dwellings zone (approximate length — 15 km)

The project ensured the reliable power supply of Elista residents. The Lower Volga Office of the Federal Service for Ecological, Technological and Nuclear Supervision (Rostekhnadzor) inspected the facility and issued the commissioning permit No.5 dated December 6, 2018. The State Construction Supervision Inspectorate for the Republic of Kalmykia also inspected the facility and issued the resolution on the compliance of the reconstructed capital facility with the requirements of technical rules, other laws, and regulations and design documentation.
