Specialists from the city services complex have begun repairs on Luzhnetskaya Embankment. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.

"This year, several embankments are planned to be renovated, and we will fill in the joints of the granite facing on each of them. We have started work on Luzhnetskaya Embankment, where we will put the granite facing itself in order and fill in the joints on an area of over 25 thousand square meters," noted Petr Biryukov.

Repair of facing seams begins with sandblasting the stone, then specialists proceed directly to the jointing. The seams between the slabs are cleaned of old filler, washed, then filled with polymer-cement material and rubbed with a waterproof solution. These activities are carried out on each embankment once every five years. They are necessary to ensure safe operation, because over time the material of the seams deteriorates, which can lead to displacement and even loss of granite slabs.

Where necessary, displaced granite and cornice blocks, as well as parapet fencing, will be installed in the design position. In addition, the pedestals will be partially replaced and the cast iron fencing will be painted.

For Muscovites and tourists, the work on Luzhnetskaya Embankment will go almost unnoticed, as scaffolding is being installed on the water side, moving it from site to site.
