The Ministry of Construction commented on the situation regarding the construction of the "Altai" town.
Recently, images appeared on social media showing that the excavated pits at the construction site were filled with groundwater, creating the illusion of a pool.
In response, the Ministry of Construction stated that prior to the start of work in this area, appropriate engineering and geological surveys were conducted, which allowed for the determination of the groundwater level and the proposal of necessary engineering solutions in the project.
“The project documentation includes a drainage system and the diversion of groundwater, as well as a restriction on the height of residential buildings to no more than five stories, taking into account the engineering features of the area. These measures are aimed at ensuring the safety of construction. The "Altai" town is planned as a low-rise residential complex.
All issues of seismic safety have been thoroughly addressed by the relevant state structures under the Ministry of Construction. Therefore, separate approval from the Institute of Seismology is not required for design and construction.Thus, the statements of Kanatbek Abdrakhmatov are incorrect, and the ministry urges the public not to mislead and to avoid panic,” the official statement of the department noted.
The construction of the "Altai" town is being carried out on an area of 234 hectares. The construction of 1,551 five-story buildings is planned, which will ultimately result in 34,004 apartments of various layouts. The total construction area will exceed 1 million 7 thousand square meters. The construction company "Kut" is implementing the project, offering apartments with no down payment and in installments. All 34 thousand apartments were sold out in a short period. On November 20, President Sadyr Japarov laid a capsule at the foundation of the town's construction.
