Beginning next Tuesday, April 16, work will begin on the reconstruction of a heat pipeline on Meissnera Street. Due to the works, the parking lot along Meissnera buildings 4 and 6 will be temporarily out of service. Replacement parking for residents, will be located at 6 Pilotów Street – Castorama and on Pilotów Street opposite Pilot Tower on the closed section of the road.
The reconstruction of an underground heat pipeline network is a complex process that requires precise planning and coordination of activities. The work is carried out in stages, taking into account the highest safety standards.
Once the new elements are completed, rewiring is carried out, followed by the dismantling of the old infrastructure. Underground networks are mainly placed under sidewalks, parking lots, bicycle paths and in green belts. This allows easy access to the installations during repair or maintenance work. In the case of repairs, this does not require disturbing the road surface, which minimizes disruption to traffic.
What exactly are the difficulties that residents will face?
In connection with the works, the parking lot at 4 and 6 Meissner Street will be successively closed as the works progress. The area that will be affected by the works first is marked on the graphic.
Replacement parking
Replacement parking is located at 6 Pilots Street – Castorama (spaces on the side of Młyńska Street) and on Pilots Street opposite Pilot Tower on the closed section of the road.

Work on the construction of a new water main is scheduled to begin April 8. As they will be carried out in the existing roadway, access to properties will be provided by the track substructure that is currently being performed.
After the water mains are repiped, work will begin on the construction of a storm sewer system and the reconstruction of a section of the sanitary sewer system. After that, road works will begin.
In addition, appropriate information and organizational measures will be taken. There will be information for residents of Krzeslawicka Street before the work begins. Access roads will be marked, and the work area will be fenced. The pedestrian thoroughfare along the reconstructed section will be preserved. After the road scope is completed, the roadway will be opened to residents, and work will continue on the track.

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.
