The Yenbekshinsky District is one of the most dynamically developing areas of Shymkent. Its population is constantly growing, and new residential complexes, social facilities, and commercial buildings are being built. Under these circumstances, ensuring reliable and safe infrastructure, as well as implementing preventative measures against natural disasters, is becoming a key priority for local authorities and utility services.

In recent years, Shymkent residents have increasingly noted that climate change is significantly impacting the region. Precipitation has increased, the weather has become more unstable, and heavy downpours and prolonged rains often create serious problems. During the fall and winter, rain and melting snow cause water to accumulate on the streets, impeding traffic and pedestrians. To avoid such inconveniences, city authorities, working with utility companies, are implementing a range of preventative measures.

One such project is the cleaning of drainage channels, which is being carried out by Inteko LLC in the Yenbekshinsky District. This project is being carried out in preparation for the rainy season and is already being implemented at an intensive pace.

The primary objective of these measures is to ensure timely drainage of rainwater and prevent flooding. Cleaning the gutters achieves several important results:

• the likelihood of water accumulation along roads is reduced;

• the safety of vehicle traffic is increased;

• more comfortable conditions for pedestrian movement are created;

• the process of road surface destruction slows down.

Thus, this work is not only local, but also strategic in nature, as it directly impacts the convenience and safety of city residents.

Specialized vehicles and crews have been deployed to the area. The cleanup is being carried out in stages: each street is being covered, with attention paid to the most problematic areas.

The following actions are carried out within the framework of the events:

• removing leaves that clog the trays;

• removal of garbage and household waste;

• removal of accumulated silt and dirt that reduce the capacity of canals;

• partial repair of damaged sections of trays.

All collected waste is transported to designated landfills to prevent secondary contamination. The process is organized to minimize disruption to local residents.

Inteko LLC takes a comprehensive approach to this issue. In addition to the technical aspects, they also work with the public. Many problems arise because residents themselves throw garbage into ditches and gutters, which leads to clogging.

The company reminds that the district's ecology and the efficiency of the stormwater drainage system largely depend on the awareness of city residents. Following basic rules will significantly reduce the burden on public utilities.

The Yenbekshinsky District is densely populated, home to schools, hospitals, markets, and large shopping centers. Flooding affects not only residents but also the operation of public facilities. Water accumulating on roads can pose a safety hazard:

• pedestrians are forced to go out onto the roadway;

• transport moves slowly and there is a risk of accidents;

• the likelihood of road accidents increases;

• Sanitary conditions are deteriorating.

This is why timely cleaning of drainage channels is one of the most important preventative measures.

Local residents are positive about the initiative. Many note that previously, after heavy rains, water could remain on some streets for several days, hindering travel. Now the situation is gradually improving: the water is receding more quickly, and the roads remain dry and safe.

Inteko's management emphasizes that this work should not be limited to preparation for the rainy season. The company plans to clean the trays regularly, several times a year.

Furthermore, future plans include expanding the fleet of specialized equipment, increasing the number of work crews, and introducing new technologies that will improve the effectiveness of these measures. This approach will help maintain utility networks in good condition and significantly reduce the risk of flooding.

Cleaning drainage channels in the Yenbekshinsky District is not just a seasonal event, but an important part of a systematic effort to improve urban infrastructure.

They contribute to:

• reducing the consequences of natural phenomena;

• ensuring road safety;

• improving the sanitary conditions of the area;

• creating a more comfortable living environment for city residents.

Thus, preparing for the rainy season becomes a major step towards increasing the resilience of the urban environment to climate challenges.

The team at Inteko LLC makes a significant contribution to the development of Shymkent and the well-being of its residents, creating conditions for a comfortable and safe life.
