Heat networks are set to be tested in Tashkent

On September 8, some residents of Tashkent might notice a temporary drop in hot water temperature due to the commencement of heat pipeline inspection, reports Veolia Energy Tashkent.

According to the department, every year after the end of the heating season, the city’s heating networks are checked for strength and tightness (pressing). This helps to identify and eliminate possible damages so that residents can receive heat and hot water without interruptions in winter:

• Tests are conducted according to the approved schedule and under the supervision of Veolia Energy specialists;
• verification is carried out under increased pressure with water at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees;
• to reduce inconvenience, work will be carried out at night – from 00:00 to 06:00;
• During the testing period, heating points and consumption systems are temporarily disconnected;
• dangerous areas (walkways, parking lots, stops) are fenced off with a signal strip or barriers.

The results of the tests will facilitate the prompt detection of leaks, extend the service life of pipes, and enhance the quality of heat supply. The schedule for testing the heating networks of Tashkent is from 9 September to 26 September. In this schedule, the initial date is the primary date, and the subsequent date is the backup (alternative) date, which is utilised in the event of pipeline damage.

Earlier, it was reported that plans to convert Tashkent to a closed heating system are still in place, which, in theory, should lower costs, reduce accidents, and minimise energy losses. Pilot projects have been carried out in Sergeli, Bektemir, and Mirzo-Ulugbek districts.

We also remind you that Veolia Energy specialists intend to develop new, safer methods for identifying potentially hazardous pipeline sections. The decision was made to ensure the safety and reliability of heat supply and to minimise risks for residents during preparations for the 2025-2026 heating season.
