The gas pipeline will connect Bolshaya Filevskaya Street with the Shelepiha embankment. This will improve the reliability of gas supply to the central and western parts of the city.

A high-pressure steel pipe is laid in a special casing - this protects it from external influences. Domestic materials with a service life of more than 40 years are used.
