Specialists Moscow City Services Complex Construction of a new high-pressure gas pipeline has begun in the Filevsky Park area in the western part of the capital. The project aims to expand the city's existing gas system.
"To minimize the impact on the urban environment, the closed passages were divided into 17 separate sections. Tunneling is carried out using a special machine (shield). Its forward movement is provided by a powerful jacking station installed in the launch shaft. This technology makes it possible to lay the network at intervals of up to 300 meters, which speeds up construction and reduces environmental risks," noted Alexander Chistov, Deputy General Director for Capital Construction at Mosgaz JSC.
Work began in late 2025 on the section between Minskaya and Bolshaya Filevskaya Streets. The project calls for laying approximately four kilometers of pipeline.
During the work, specialists use a combination of open and closed installation methods. The trenchless method utilizes microtunneling technology. This method allows for the installation of gas pipelines at significant depths without extensive excavation, which is especially important in densely populated areas with numerous underground utilities and heavy traffic.
The new gas pipeline will be equipped with two modern, domestically manufactured shutoff valves. They are controlled remotely from Mosgaz JSC's central control room, significantly improving the speed of response to emergency situations. They can shut off the gas supply within one and a half minutes.
In addition, specialists ensure the quality of welded joints using visual and radiographic methods. This ensures high quality and safety standards are maintained.
Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin announced that the capital is undertaking a comprehensive program to upgrade utility networks. This will reduce their wear and tear, create reserves for connecting new consumers, and guarantee a stable supply of all necessary resources. In 2025 alone, more than 144 kilometers of gas networks have been built and 37 kilometers reconstructed. This year, over 145 kilometers are planned for construction and 19.2 kilometers for reconstruction. gas networks.
The Moscow City Services Complex noted that the projects being implemented in the capital to modernize and improve the reliability of public utility infrastructure are in line with the goals and objectives of the national project.
