It is planned to complete the reconstruction of biological treatment facilities in Kazan and put them into operation in 2024.

The BOSK reconstruction project was developed by Giprocommunvodokanal SPB LLC (St. Petersburg). The state contract for construction and installation works was signed with VT Stroyengineering LLC. At the moment, they are completed by 11.74% (75.38% of the total object).
The implementation of the I and II stages of reconstruction will improve the performance of wastewater treatment.
"At the moment, all equipment and materials are at the facility, reinforced concrete structures are being prepared, which means cleaning old metal and destroyed parts. In the summer, work will be carried out on rehabilitation, reinforcement and new monolithic structures will be erected. The work will be completed this year and the operation of the facility will begin. After the reconstruction, we will have serious reserves of capacity that will allow us to clean wastewater as efficiently as possible and not pollute the Volga," said Alexey Frolov, First Deputy Minister of Construction, Architecture and Housing of the Republic of Tatarstan.
