The municipal enterprise «City Roads» is continuously working to keep the rainwater drainage system in optimal condition.
Specialists carry out cleaning and repairs of stormwater collectors, grates, and specialized hydraulic structures, removing mud, leaves, debris, and reeds.
Regularly according to a plan, cleaning works of the stormwater drainage system in the streets of Odessa are conducted. During heavy rains, additional teams from «City Roads» work on the city streets. Municipal workers clear the grates from fallen leaves and debris carried by rainwater, ensuring proper drainage.
In the first eleven months of this year, the enterprise's workers completed cleaning works: 16,887 meters of ditches and channels, 4,374 stormwater drains, 5,273 collectors, and flushed 23,999 linear meters of pipes.
Additionally, the workers mowed grass in the ditches and channels of hydraulic structures (10,465 meters) and cleaned 1,735.6 square meters of the buffer pond.
The cleaning of the rainwater drainage systems is performed both manually and using heavy machinery like excavators, motor graders, and high-pressure hydraulic units based on MAN trucks for flushing pipes.
Moreover, specialists from «City Roads» repair wells, replace pipes in stormwater drains, and raise grates to road level as necessary.
Since the beginning of 2024, the workers have installed and replaced 58 grates on stormwater wells and repaired 34 stormwater drains with new castings.
During operation, the grates of the stormwater wells can sink, forming depressions in the roadway that may lead to accidents. The specialists regularly address this issue.
Since the start of this year, municipal workers have raised 96 sunken grates to the road level and installed 20 inspection wells to the level of the roadway. They also repaired 8 inspection wells, replacing castings and installed cover slabs on 4 inspection wells and 12 stormwater drains.
Additionally, since the beginning of this year, the workers have repaired 45 meters of collector, conducted video inspections of 588 meters of collectors, and pumped out 1,081 cubic meters of rainwater from the roadway.
