The quality of road repair work on Gani Ilyaev Street in Shymkent was put under control. On December 2, 2025, it was revealed that the sewerage system on this street was not fully completed in accordance with the established requirements. This situation attracted the attention of residents, the city administration, and the city's construction control bodies.

Ilyaev Street is one of the most important transport arteries for the city. This street is always busy with traffic, so the quality of the road and the proper functioning of the sewage system directly affect the daily lives of residents. Poor-quality repair work on the street can negatively affect traffic safety, the stability of public infrastructure, and the aesthetics of the city's appearance.

Project purpose and scope

As part of the investment project of "Water Resources - Marketing" LLP, work was carried out to upgrade the outdated sewer system on Ilyaev Street. The main goal of the project is to improve the quality of transport and improve urban infrastructure by restoring the old sewer system and renovating the road.

The project included laying a new asphalt layer, upgrading the road section to modern standards, and restoring the ditches and channels that provide water flow along the road, ensuring the stability of the sewage system.

The project is being implemented within the framework of the city administration's investment plans and is aimed at creating comfortable conditions for residents and transport.

Poor quality asphalt layer detected

However, during an inspection conducted on December 2, 2025, it was found that the asphalt layer laid did not comply with building codes and standards. This situation required the contractor to take appropriate measures.

A poor-quality asphalt layer can be caused by several reasons: improperly prepared mixtures, violations of the technological process, non-compliance of materials with standards, or insufficient control. Such shortcomings can not only shorten the service life of the road, but also negatively affect road safety.

After a road quality inspection revealed violations of construction standards, the contractor was given the task of removing the previously laid asphalt layer and replacing it with a new asphalt layer that meets all requirements.

Work is being resumed.

Currently, asphalt paving works are actively underway on Ilyaev Street. The work is being carried out according to plan, in stages, and all quality control requirements are being met.

Specialists will carefully check the thickness, laying technology, density and evenness of the new asphalt layer. In addition, the sewer system is being restored at the same time. These works are designed to facilitate traffic on the street and ensure its long-term service life.

During road repairs, temporary traffic management, route changes, and safety measures are being implemented to create comfortable conditions for residents and drivers.

Measures have been taken by the competent authority.

Appropriate measures were taken by the competent authority against the contractor for laying a poor-quality asphalt layer. This is not only a financial or administrative liability, but also a warning about the need to comply with building codes in the future.

Institution-focused measures may include:

• financial penalties,

• making changes to the contract,

• strengthen control,

• increasing responsibility in subsequent projects.

The competent authority strictly monitored the contractor's compliance with these requirements.

The importance of road quality

Since Ilyaev Street is one of the main transport arteries in the city, the quality of the road directly affects the daily lives of residents. A quality road facilitates traffic, prevents accidents, and allows public transport to run on time.

Also, the proper functioning of the infrastructure improves the appearance of the city. Updated roads and sewage systems provide a comfortable, safe environment for residents. The city administration will monitor the work in this area and pay special attention to eliminating all shortcomings.

Control and quality requirements

The City Construction and Investment Department carefully monitors each stage of the project. The main areas of quality control are:

• thickness and smoothness of the asphalt layer,

• compliance of materials with standards,

• proper installation of the sewer system,

• compliance with traffic and safety requirements.

Such control ensures long-term and high-quality work.

Conclusion

The road repair work on Ilyaev Street is an important part of the city's infrastructure renovation. By upgrading the sewer system, paving asphalt, and improving traffic flow, a more comfortable, safe, and aesthetically pleasing environment is being created for city residents.

After the discovery of a substandard asphalt layer, the contractor was instructed to lay new asphalt, and appropriate measures were taken for non-compliance with construction standards. Currently, all work is being actively carried out, and quality control is strictly maintained.

The successful implementation of the project will not only improve the quality of the road on Ilyaev Street, but will also allow for the sustainable development of the city's infrastructure, improve the quality of life of residents, and ensure public safety.
