Specialists from the capital's municipal services complex will update in-house gas supply systems in 467 apartment buildings. The work will be carried out within the framework of capital repair programsThis was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.

"The capital's capital repair program is one of the most significant housing modernization projects not only in Russia, but also in the world. We are carrying out work to update not only the exterior of the building: the facade, roof and entrance group, but also the engineering systems. During the program's implementation, we have completed capital repairs of in-house gas supply systems in 2,343 apartment buildings. This year, work is planned for another 467, and it has already been completed at 301 facilities," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

Timely repair of equipment is important for its safe operation and organization of uninterrupted gas supply. In their work, specialists use modern technical solutions. For example, they use ball valves with three degrees of protection against accidental opening. They limit the flow of gas in case of equipment failure and temperature exposure. In addition, flexible gas piping made of stainless steel with PVC coating and a dielectric insert are installed in houses. This is done to protect against external influences and to eliminate an emergency situation when stray currents appear.

Gas risers inside an apartment building are common property, so apartment owners must promptly provide specialists with access to the work sites.

According to current regulations, the service life of an in-house gas pipeline is 30 years. After this time, the equipment wears out and requires replacement.

The regional program for capital repairs of housing stock being implemented in the capital corresponds to the goals and objectives of the national project "Infrastructure for life".
