Business news from Ukraine

In Kyiv, contractors involved in the construction of two new boiler houses are switching to round-the-clock operations to accelerate the commissioning of these energy facilities, the Interfax-Ukraine news agency reported on November 12, citing Ivan Fedorov, head of the State Agency for the Restoration and Development of Infrastructure of Ukraine.

According to the Agency for Reconstruction, the decision to accelerate the pace of construction was made following an inspection of the progress of work at the sites.

Currently, specialists are installing heating boilers and connecting process equipment to pipelines and other engineering systems.

Once the installation work is complete, contractors will move on to the commissioning phase, which involves testing the equipment’s functionality and preparing the boiler rooms for operation.

The transition to a round-the-clock schedule is expected to accelerate the completion of construction and the preparation of the capital’s new heating infrastructure facilities for operation during the heating season.

At the same time, the Agency for Reconstruction has not yet specified the installed thermal capacity of the boiler houses, their locations, construction costs, or specific dates for commissioning.

The State Agency for Reconstruction and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine is a central executive body whose activities are aimed at implementing state policy in the field of infrastructure reconstruction and development. The Agency participates in the reconstruction of damaged facilities, including transportation, utility, and other critical infrastructure.
