In Odesa, the 50-year-old equipment on the gas pipeline is being updated: the deadlines for shutdowns have been extended.

In Odesa, work is ongoing to update a gas pipeline that is over 50 years old. More than 50 specialists and 10 units of specialized equipment are involved. As part of the investment program of PJSC "Odesgaz", the high-pressure gas pipeline valve and the old well with the valve were replaced within 2026 year.

The work became more difficult due to the high water table. To ensure safety, the gas workers organized continuous water drainage from the excavation site and used special protective shields. Thanks to the replacement of the equipment, the company was able to quickly redirect gas flows and isolate emergency areas.

ODESSAGAZ emphasizes that infrastructure replacement will increase the reliability of gas supply throughout the city, especially in light of ongoing attacks on the energy infrastructure and before the winter cold. The deadlines for repair and emergency restoration work on gas networks have been extended to 17:30 Wednesday, November 4. Residents are asked to understand and tolerate temporary inconveniences and to turn off taps before gas appliances.
