The municipal services of Almaty are actively preparing the urban area for the onset of cold weather and snowfall. From November 25 to November 30, the city will host a Week of cleanliness.
Within the framework of the republican program "Taza Kazakhstan" and the city campaign "Almaty is our common home", a large–scale cleaning of the street and road network, public places, riverbeds, street urns and a ditch network will be carried out. In order to ensure quality control of the work performed, monitoring activities have been strengthened. In case of detection of deficiencies and violations, administrative fines and penalties will be applied to contractors within the framework of concluded contracts.
By the way, during a press tour at the GKP base at the Almaty Tazalyk PHV, journalists managed to get acquainted with the preparation process, where attention was attracted not only by the latest machines, but also by those who work daily for the benefit of the city, ensuring its cleanliness and uninterrupted operation in the most difficult winter conditions.
– This year, 32 units of modern equipment were purchased within the framework of the republican program "Taza Kazakhstan". One special equipment can replace an entire team of 20 people, which will significantly speed up the process and increase the efficiency of cleaning," said Yertay Kasenov, Deputy director of the State Enterprise "Almaty Tazalyk".
Among the novelties is a powerful sweeper, which, with the help of a modern suction system and brushes, effectively removes debris from roads. The machine is equipped with simultaneous garbage loading technology, which significantly increases the speed of cleaning and reduces the number of stops. This unit is ideal for working both on high streets and in narrow alleys, ensuring thorough cleaning even in the most inaccessible places.

Another important model is a specialized technique designed to work in winter conditions, which the utilities themselves call "tigers". The main purpose is to remove snow, ice, dust and debris from urban roads and airfields at a harvesting speed of up to 80 km/h. It replaces 4 KAMAZ trucks in terms of performance. The machine is equipped with a system for distributing liquid reagents against ice, which significantly increases safety on highways in winter. It is compact and highly maneuverable. With an external turning radius of 13.7 m, it exceeds all expectations when it comes to flexibility and mobility when cleaning main streets. Equipped with a 5.4m wide snowplow, a 4.2m long brush and a blowing device located in the rear.

An important addition to the fleet is a combined road vehicle, which combines several functions. It cleans road surfaces from snow and ice using brushes and plows, and distributes reagents to prevent ice. Due to its versatility, this technique allows you to perform all the necessary winter maintenance work on one equipment, which significantly increases efficiency and reduces cleaning time.

According to Deputy Director Yertai Kasenov, 605 units of special equipment and about one and a half thousand road workers will work on the streets of the city in winter, which will ensure timely and high-quality cleaning of both roads and sidewalks.
– The task of our company is high—quality and timely cleaning of streets and sidewalks from snow and ice. We are already at the start, ready for any challenges of the winter period, and with the new equipment we will be able to cope with the task in the shortest possible time," he said.
Employees of municipal services of the city also received specialized training on the operation of new equipment. This is necessary in order to effectively use high-tech machines in winter, ensuring safety and order on the streets of the city. The training included not only the technical aspects of working with new equipment, but also safety rules, as well as maintenance methods, which allows you to guarantee trouble-free operation even in the most difficult weather conditions.
– My colleagues and I were trained, where we were explained in detail how to properly operate the equipment, especially in conditions of snowfall and ice. Each machine has its own characteristics, and it is important to know how to use it as efficiently and safely as possible. We work annually to improve the quality of our work. This year, thanks to the new technology, we will be able to work even faster. We are ready to meet the winter with full equipment and a well–coordinated team," said Ivan Cherny, an employee of Almaty Tazalyk.
According to Zhanat Zhakupbek, Deputy head of the Municipal Infrastructure Development Department, 841 units of equipment are available in Almaty for the winter period to service the city, 1,400 road workers can be involved in clearing roads and sidewalks. By the forces of 9 contractors, in addition to the State Enterprise "Almaty Tazalyk", sanitary cleaning is carried out from 2318 streets with a total length of over 2.7 thousand km. The daily output of equipment for street cleaning during the daytime is about 600 units and 800 road workers, 220 units of equipment and up to 250 road workers during the night shift.
