The date of putting “Imereti” into repair has been agreed with the National Dispatch Center of JSC “Georgian State Electric System”.
In connection with the mentioned works, project and cost accounting documentations were prepared, which were examined by the National Bureau of Expertise named after Levan Samkharauli and the “A” type inspection body “Engineering Monitoring Group” LLC.
500 sq.m. “Imereti” N330-N340 anchorage works belong to the construction of objects of special importance, on which the order of the “Technical and Construction Supervision Agency” of the State Technical and Construction Supervision Agency has been issued – on the permission for the reconstruction works. The “A” type inspection body will supervise the reconstruction works in the “Imereti” N330-N340 anchorage.
Based on the time frame for the repair of 500 sq.m. “Imereti” and the volume of the repair work to be performed, we considered it appropriate to invite a contractor company to the work. On the basis of the conducted competition, “New Metal Georgia” Ltd. will perform the reconstruction and replacement of wires in the anchor bars N330-N340 and N328-N329 of the 500 kV power plant “Imereti”.
During the limited period of the 500 sq.m. “Imereti” being under repair, it is planned to mobilize to the site for the full scope of the reconstruction works in the anchorage N330-N340 to start the work from August 20 of this year.
