During the work, the granite cladding will be put in order, joints will be sealed, and the fence will be painted.
Specialists have begun repairs on Luzhnetskaya Embankment.
“This year, the renovation of several embankments is planned; on each of them, we will carry out sealing of the granite cladding joints. We have started work on Luzhnetskaya Embankment, where we will put the granite cladding itself in order and perform joint sealing over an area of more than 25 thousand square meters,” it was noted.
The repair of the cladding joints begins with sandblasting to clean the stone, after which specialists proceed directly to sealing. The joints between the slabs are cleaned of old filler, washed, then filled with a polymer-cement material and finished with a waterproof solution. These activities are carried out on each embankment every five years. They are necessary to ensure safe operation, as over time the joint material deteriorates, which can lead to the displacement and even falling out of granite slabs.
Where necessary, displaced granite and cornice blocks, as well as parapet fencing, will be set back into their design position. In addition, some bollards will be replaced and the cast-iron fencing will be painted.
For Muscovites and tourists, the work on Luzhnetskaya Embankment will be almost unnoticeable, as the scaffolding is installed from the water side, moving it from section to section.
