A new strategic hydraulic structure has been commissioned on the Karakum
River, which plays a key role in supplying water to Turkmenistan’s capital. The
facility will ensure a stable and uninterrupted water supply to Ashgabat. It
has a throughput capacity of 181 cubic meters per second. The hydraulic
structure incorporates modern technological solutions, including high-capacity
gates, while all mechanisms are protected against moisture and corrosion.
Special attention has also been given to ensuring the safety of the operating
personnel.
Two new modern pumping stations have also been commissioned in Turkmenistan’s Ahal velayat. The stations feature full automation of technological processes, with water supply management and monitoring carried out through computerized control systems. This ensures the stable and efficient operation of the equipment. The implementation of these projects is part of the government’s strategy to develop water infrastructure and provide the population with reliable access to water resources.
«The management of the hydrotechnical complex is fully
digitalized. The system can operate in three modes: mechanical, automatic, and
digital. In the latter two modes, all processes are monitored and the gates are
controlled remotely from a central control room. A manual mode is also
available when necessary, allowing specialists to operate the gates on site using
special handwheels,» noted Annaguly Annaev, specialist at the association of the State Committee
for Water Management of Turkmenistan.
