Odesa Heat Supply Company Selects Contractor for Repair of Gas Chimneys

The municipal enterprise "Heat Supply of Odesa City" has conducted a procurement to select a contractor to pay for the reconstruction of gas flues and air ducts of the district boiler house "Severnaya-2".

The relevant information is available in the Prozorro electronic procurement system.

The procurement was conducted in the format of an open tender with special conditions, and the only participant was the limited liability company TM Odesa. The company was registered in 1998. The owner is Ihor Nomerovskyi. The company expects to pay UAH 11 million 633.8 thousand.

In February, Odesa completed large-scale work to restore the chimney of the Severnaya-2 boiler house, which was damaged during the bad weather in November 2023. In the summer, Odesa began reconstructing the chimney of the Severnaya-2 boiler house, which collapsed during strong winds last year. According to Mayor Gennadiy Trukhanov, UNICEF allocated UAH 60 million for the repairs. The construction was planned to be completed by November 1, 2024. This was described in detail by the CPR in its material.

In January 2025, the reconstruction of the chimney at the Pivnichna-2 boiler house in Odesa went up by almost UAH 2.5 million. Odesa City Heat Supply signed a contract with Inventum Ukraine under a non-tender procedure.

On the night of November 27, 2023, a chimney over 100 meters high, which belonged to the Severnaya-2 boiler house, collapsed in Odesa due to hurricane winds. The incident occurred during bad weather.

An expert examination conducted in January 2024 revealed that the chimney collapse was caused by the poor quality of construction work during its construction. The study showed heterogeneity in the concrete, with samples having different strengths depending on the site. The conclusion of the experts was unequivocal: it was impossible to restore this pipe, and a new structure had to be built.
