Description of the purpose of the project and ways to achieve it

The purpose of the public investment project "Overhaul of the Main Lock of the Danube-Sasyk Canal" is to restore and ensure reliable, safe and continuous operation of the hydraulic structure through overhaul, which will increase the efficiency of water regime regulation, prevent emergency situations, reduce the risks of flooding of nearby territories, and create conditions for sustainable water management, environmental, and socio-economic development of the region.

Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation

The main lock is located on PK2+31 of the Danube - Sasyk canal and is designed to regulate the water level in Lake Sasyk. The lock gates are covered with rust. The segment gates need to be cleaned of silt and rust, as well as painted with waterproof paint twice in an area of 1865m2. The mounting frame and repair gates are covered with rust. They need to be cleaned of rust with metal brushes, painted with waterproof and weather-resistant paints twice. The mounting frame and repair gates are 1038m2. In the engine room, the north wall is leaking, the lining has fallen off, the plaster has crumbled, the rails under the lining have rotted. It is necessary to perform a complex of works on dismantling and installing the lining of 350m2; the ceiling is torn off, painting with lime mortar is required - 364m2. Plaster has fallen off in the control room, it is necessary to make a plaster reflection, plaster the walls 20m2, paint the walls with water-based paint 70m2. The curbs need to be cleaned of old paint and dirt, painted with white water-based and black paint - 170m2. The old roofing felt on the roof has cracked, the ceiling in the engine room is leaking. It is necessary to carry out major repairs to restore the roof with new Euro roofing felt - 633 m2. In the mine, double-glazed windows in the form of tiles are squeezed out by vibration, it is necessary to install metal-plastic windows (26 m2). The doors are rotten, broken in mine No. 1, No. 2, in the transformer, on the fire escape, on the hoistway, in the electrical panel, 7 doors need to be replaced. Plastic windows are mounted in wooden boxes, the boxes are rotten, it is necessary to replace them with plastic ones 275 p.m. The fence (metal mesh) is covered with rust, it is necessary to clean it from rust, paint it with oil paint 225m2. It is necessary to add transformer oil to the transformer substation 30l, install a backup cable 300m. The railing fences are covered with rust, it is necessary to clean it from rust with metal brushes and paint it with weatherproof paints 2 times 225m2. There is no KTP fence, it is necessary to arrange a fence 18 p.m. There is no fence for the service room, it is necessary to arrange a fence 80 p.m. Ladders and observation platforms are covered with rust, it is necessary to Clean it from rust with metal brushes and paint it with weatherproof paints 2 times 120m2.

Alternative technical solutions

Technical Solution 1

Major repairs of the Main Lock (modernization)

Technical Solution 2

Current (partial) repair of the lock It involved the elimination of individual defects without a comprehensive update of structures and mechanisms. This solution was recognized as insufficient, as it does not provide long-term reliability, does not reduce accident risks and leads to an increase in operating costs in the future.
