Every month the metal plating of the channel "Seversky Donets – Donbass", which is to protect the hydraulic structure from hypothermia, is becoming less unknown to dismantle it for scrap. Along the canal, which is more than 130 kilometers, has about a dozen illegal settlements for scrap metal. Most directly in the yards of local residents.
Local residents confirm this fact and say that this is due to the fact that many unemployed people "take everything that is bad and pass."
The channel length of more than 130 kilometers of the only highway to supply water in the region of the Seversky Donets river. Experts are worried that the hunters behind scrap metal can compromise the integrity of the channel, because the flow of water can flood entire villages. Only this year managed to prevent more than 200 burglaries.
The deflection of the pipe channel at a radius of 12 kilometers should not be more than 2 inches. Reliance is an element on which rests the tube and these actions of individuals who knock out those supports, they certainly threaten the integrity of the pipe itself, the Director of the regional Department for the operation of the channel "Seversky Donets-Donbass" Donetsk Sergey Savelyev.
Unique hydraulic structure is guarded by more than 150 people is a private enterprise, which for more than four years ago won the tender. Master mode protection company that provides services to the channel, can not now.
Not to say that we do not protect, we permanently detain people. Now very heavy financial position in our company: we are not planning to increase the amount of protection. We are trying to shrink, to reduce the number of employees.
Company-user intends to go to law enforcement bodies with the request to check illegal points of reception of scrap metal. If these bases close, the theft will stop confident in the company.
