On the territory of the International Children’s Center “Artek” in the Republic of Crimea, work on the reconstruction and modernization of the treatment facilities complex with a capacity of over 4.5 thousand cubic meters per day has been completed. This was reported by the Deputy Chairman of the Government, Marat Khusnullin.
“Artek” is the pride of our country, and its infrastructure must correspond to the highest level. Therefore, by the President’s directive, we are systematically engaged in the modernization of the children’s center. This work is aimed at creating modern conditions for rest and development of children. With the efforts of the “Unified Customer in the Construction Sphere,” a large-scale reconstruction of the treatment facilities, which had not been updated since the 1960s, has been completed. They will have an impact on improving the ecological situation of the Black Sea in the Republic of Crimea. The productivity of the new line is more than 4.5 thousand cubic meters per day.Now, the treatment facilities operate automatically and allow not only safe discharge of water into natural water bodies but also its use for the technical needs of the center. More than 190 buildings and facilities are connected to the new system,
Before the reconstruction, the general scheme of wastewater disposal of domestic and household effluents represented a system of gravity sewer networks divided into several catchment basins. Now, on the territory of the largest children’s educational center in the world, a modern system of external water supply and sewer networks has been arranged.
“Completion of the large-scale reconstruction and modernization of the treatment facilities complex is yet another step towards the completion of the work on updating ‘Artek.’ Active work on the reconstruction and construction of the center’s facilities is being carried out by the President’s directive. As of today, 20 facilities of the MDC ‘Artek’ have been put into operation, and 4 facilities are approaching a high degree of construction readiness,” said the first deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Utilities, Alexander Lomakin.
“During the reconstruction of the treatment facilities complex, specialists installed biological treatment units, additional treatment and mechanical sludge dewatering units, an air-blowing station, a laboratory and a block transformer station. More than 8.5 thousand meters of water supply and wastewater networks, as well as more than 12 thousand meters of outdoor cable lines, have been completely renewed,” noted Karen Oganesyan, General Director of PPK “Unified Customer.”
On the territory of “Artek”, an Innovation Educational Technologies Center with an area of more than 27 thousand square meters was previously built. It houses advanced classrooms, workshops, an amphitheater, artistic and rehearsal halls, and a universal hall with 700 seats. More than 1,000 children will be able to study there simultaneously.
The construction of new and modernization of existing facilities of “Artek” is being carried out within the framework of the state program “Socio-economic development of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.”
