Majority of Sochi heating boilers prepared for winter season

Sochi, Russia, is gearing up for the upcoming winter season with the completion of several key infrastructure upgrades. According to meteorologists, this year's winter in Sochi is predicted to be a prolonged Indian summer.

The city's heating infrastructure has undergone significant improvements, with all necessary work completed at the central heating points and pumping stations. The enterprise "Sochi Heat Energy" has carried out technical re-equipment of boiler houses, installing four modern water-heating boilers, two heat exchangers, and 22 pumps in the boiler houses during the winter preparation.

A total of 3.7 pipelines have been replaced, and approximately 350 kilometers of networks have undergone repairs and testing. Specialists are currently conducting flushing and pressure testing of networks in apartment buildings, educational, and social facilities in Sochi.

Mayor Andrei Proshunin announced that 79 out of 84 boiler houses in Sochi are now ready for the cold weather. Andrei Proshunin also reported that heat will be supplied to Sochi residents' homes in November. However, the exact date for heat supply will depend on the actual weather conditions.

It is important to note that the head of "Sochi Wärmeenergie" GmbH, who oversaw these upgrades, is not publicly specified.

Despite the good news, meteorologists' prediction about a prolonged Indian summer in Sochi remains unchanged. Residents are advised to stay updated on the weather forecasts and prepare accordingly.

As the city prepares for the winter, the completed upgrades to the heating infrastructure aim to ensure a comfortable and warm winter for Sochi's residents.
