Pärnu linn hakkab suvel korda tegema jõeäärse promenaadi kaldakindlustust
The city of Pärnu will start repairing the riverside promenade embankment this summer.
Pärnus kaugkütet ja kaugjahutust pakkuva ettevõtte hinnangul võivad need tööd tõsiselt häirida läheduses asuva kaugjahutusjaama tööd.
According to a company providing district heating and cooling in Pärnu, the works could seriously interfere with the operation of a nearby district cooling plant.
In the center of Pärnu, the reconstruction of the embankment near the city bridge will begin in June. Gren Eesti is concerned that the reconstruction may interfere with the operation of a nearby district cooling plant. This plant provides services to commercial buildings in the city center.
Margo Külaots, business manager of Gren Eesti, said that the cooling plant draws water from the Pärnu River. This location is close to the embankment works. Külaots said that customers need district cooling, especially in summer when there are many visitors in Pärnu. Construction on the riverbed could cause problems such as stirring up mud or sediment. It could also shake pipes and disrupt the cooling service.
Külaots said that the company wants to avoid mud and sediment at the water intake during the works. They are waiting for a solution from the Pärnu city government. Külaots also said that the city did not involve them in the planning of the works. They sent a memo to the city. Külaots said that the timing of the works or other measures should be considered.
Anu Juurma-Saks, head of public relations for the Pärnu city government, said that according to the city, the reconstruction of the embankment should not interfere with the operation of the cooling plant. They will communicate with Gren before starting the works. Juurma-Saks said that the permit was issued at the end of last year. At that time, no problem was seen. However, before starting major works, they always contact the network owners. Juurma-Saks said that next week, the city government and Gren will have a meeting.
