Today, in the afternoon, an incident occurred while working on an existing water main. The incident posed no danger to residents or workers and will not affect the schedule of ongoing work. It also did not cause an interruption in water supply.
The work was carried out in accordance with applicable regulations and in compliance with health and safety rules. During the manual excavation of an existing water pipe, where the water was under high pressure, the pipe broke, causing local flooding of our excavation. This is a situation that can occur during work in cities where there is a dense network of underground infrastructure.
