According to statistics, July is the rainiest month of the year. Despite heavy rainfall, our work progressed continuously. What has been achieved and what awaits us in the near future?

July was mainly marked by works related to the reconstruction of broadly understood networks. At the beginning of the month, we started heating up the heating pipes near the Wieczysta Sports Club. This involved the continuous operation of the generator. This was required by technological processes to ensure the highest possible quality of workmanship and safety of operation.

Works related to the heat pipeline were also undertaken at Łąkowa Street, Janickiego Street and the western part of Meissnera Street. Although the works in this area were planned for a later date, we decided to start them now to complete the works related to the heating network before the heating season. The decision was made out of concern for the comfort of the residents.More

At the same time, the reconstruction of the power grid at Dobrego Pasterza Street began and the rainwater drainage system at Jancarza Street was reconnected.More

On July 25, a meeting was held as part of the social dialogue, where residents, city and district councillors as well as ZDMK, MIR, ZTP together with the Private Partner could undertake a substantive discussion, m.in. on the fire exit, located in the area of blocks of flats at 4-6 Meissnera Street. A request was made to liquidate the bus bay on Mogilska Street and widen the tram platform. A postulate was made to change the lane into parking spaces on Meissnera Street on the section from Łąkowa Street to Ugorek Street.

Thanks to the commitment of all parties, we strive to create optimal solutions together!More

However – in the context of the progress of construction works – the greatest success of this month was the completion of concreting of ceilings at the Polsadu Roundabout station and under the flyover on the southern side – from Młyńska Street. This is another complicated technical challenge during the construction of the tram line to Mistrzejowice. Due to the limited space for construction machinery, the work required a very high degree of precision. In addition to engineers, the safety of the facility was supervised by a special geodetic monitoring system. It is a set of several dozen measuring devices that checked the condition of the object with an accuracy of 0.1 mm for 24 hours, in real time. At the same time, due to the summer heat, most of the concrete works, which lasted more than 5 hours, took place at night.

To the north of the flyover, insulation works of the floor slab are underway, which will enable the restoration of the original roadway layout and the commencement of the sinking of diaphragm walls in the place of the temporary roadway and pedestrian crossing. This will make it possible to connect the existing tunnel sections. The methodology of staging works is crucial in dense urban development, allowing for efficient project implementation and minimizing nuisance to residents.

July brought significant progress in the work on the city’s infrastructure. Significant works were completed on the reconstruction of the heating and power network, as well as the concreting of the ceilings on the southern side of the Polsadu Roundabout station, which was a key stage in the construction of the tram line to Mistrzejowice.  Cooperation with residents and various institutions allows for continuous adaptation of plans to the needs of the community, while maintaining high quality and safety of the implemented projects.
