City services specialists have completed renovations on Novodevichy Embankment in the city center. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Public Works. Petr Biryukov.
"This year, we plan to renovate a number of embankments, and we'll be grouting the granite facings on each of them. We've completed work on Novodevichy Embankment, where we grouted approximately 15,000 linear meters of joints and sandblasted over four thousand square meters of pavement," noted Pyotr Biryukov.
Repairing cladding joints begins with cleaning the stone, then specialists begin the grouting process. The joints between the slabs are cleaned of old filler, washed, then filled with polymer-modified cement and grouted with a waterproof mortar.
Such measures are carried out on each embankment once every five years. They are necessary to ensure the safe operation of the structures, as over time the joint material deteriorates, which can lead to displacement and even the loss of granite slabs.
For city residents, such work takes place practically unnoticed, as the scaffolding is installed on the water side and then moved from site to site.
