Key points
- GasGrids to receive 48 backhoe loaders
- Machinery allocated to seven frontline and regional branches
- Project backed by the international SPARC initiative
Gas Distribution Networks of Ukraine (GasGrids) is set to expand its fleet with 48 new backhoe loaders. The specialized machinery will be distributed among regional divisions as part of the international SPARC program.
The multi-functional equipment is designed to assist repair crews in restoring damaged gas pipelines. The machines will provide access to compromised underground utility lines, transport heavy materials, and handle post-repair site cleanup.
«For our repair teams, this equipment is of great practical significance, allowing us to organize the restoration of damaged sections faster and perform multiple tasks with a single machine», – stated Lyudmila Kinder, CEO of GasGrids.
The machinery will be deployed to branches operating in regions heavily affected by hostilities, including Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Sumy, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, Kyiv, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. Upgrading the technical capacity of local utility providers is crucial for maintaining energy security and speeding up emergency responses ahead of the winter season.
