Analytical conclusions and proposals for technical condition and effective use of facilities on Tashkent magistral canal

Abstract

The socio-economic development of the Tashkent region (Uzbekistan) depends largely on natural resources, especially water resources, as in other regions. One of the canals that supply water to the Tashkent province is the Tashkent magistral canal (TMC). In terms of size, the second of the canals receives water from the left bank of the Chirchik River. The TMC has been 82 years since its start of use. Hydrotechnical facilities on the TMC are typical of the II class. There are many hydrotechnical facilities on the canal: one main structure, four water dampening facilities, two destructive water discharges, four duckers in the canal, 45 water dischargers, one waterfall, seven under-canal duckers, two pipes under the canal, nine aqueducts, nine canal access, thirteen road bridges, one railway bridge, one pedestrian bridge. This article presents the technical condition of the TMC and its hydrotechnical facilities and recommendations developed based on the technical condition. On April 9-13, 2022, field observation work was carried out to study the technical condition of the TMC and hydrotechnical facilities. It reviewed the availability of technical documents of TMC facilities, instructions for their use, information on maintenance of mechanical equipment, working drawings, previous inspection reports, and other materials. In addition, the conclusions of the inspection carried out by the State Inspection "Davsuvkhujalikzorat" and the results of the technical inspections carried out by the employees of the TMC administration and project parameters of water facilities were studied.
