Volgogradsky Prospekt will become much greener: previously lost lawns will be restored here. More than 1,300 large trees will be planted along the highway, including in the area of the exit to the Moscow Ring Road. Four green islands with decorative compositions of coniferous plants will be arranged on the scenic sections of the highway.

To improve the appearance of the avenue, decorative fencing with an individual pattern will be installed along industrial enterprises and garage complexes. Ventilation shafts and other engineering structures will receive decorative cladding. In addition, the dog walking area near house 187/16 will be updated.

Specialists will replace the pavement surfaces (about 105.3 thousand square meters) and roads (111.4 thousand square meters). Overhead cable lines will be moved underground and an additional drainage system will be installed.

Over 380 people and over 70 units of equipment are involved in the work. The improvement of Volgogradsky Prospekt with Marxistskaya Street is planned to be completed this fall.

Rosneft uses domestic special equipment to improve the efficiency of power transmission line maintenance

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Orenburgneft, Rosneft's key production asset in the Volga region, has increased the reliability of power supply to oil production facilities by servicing 6 (10) kV power lines with truck-mounted hydraulic lifts on high-traffic chassis.

The unique tracked model has high technical and off-road capabilities. In particular, the driver of the special vehicle can automatically level the working platform and control the equipment remotely from the control panel.

The equipment also allows for the safe delivery and lifting of people and large loads (metal structures, construction equipment), and the performance of transport and technological operations in particularly difficult road and climatic conditions of marshy terrain, afloat and virgin snow.

The use of hydraulic lifts increases the speed of response to technological shutdowns of network infrastructure during periods of adverse weather conditions by reducing the time it takes for special equipment to arrive at the site of damage, which ensures uninterrupted operation of oil-producing wells and reduces transportation costs.

The Company's enterprises regularly replenish their fleets of specialized equipment with new models from domestic developers. Domestic all-terrain vehicles also help the enterprise maintain reliable power supply at any time of year on any site. Last year, the fleet of Orenburgneft's special equipment was replenished with ten such high-traffic vehicles.

Reference:

JSC Orenburgneft, a subsidiary of Rosneft Oil Company, carries out production activities in the Orenburg, Samara and Saratov regions. The company's fields are supplied with electricity by 51 35-110 kV substations with a total length of 6-110 kV networks – more than 4,000 km. From 2019 to 2024, as part of the implementation of the program to improve the reliability of power supply to oil production facilities, Orenburgneft commissioned seven 35-110 kV electrical substations, 170 km of overhead lines of 35-110 kV voltage class were built.
