ASCM Group is embarking on a comprehensive scientific research project to restore and refurbish the 1874 Water Tower in Kursk.
The brick tower was erected as part of the construction of a municipal water supply system in Kursk. The City Duma signed a contract with the Water Supply and Gas Lighting Company, which stipulated that the tower be built on the highest point in the city, with the "bottom of the reservoir being one and a half arshins above the ground." The tower also served as a fire alarm tower.
After the fire department closed in 1935, the tower fell into disuse. In 1989, it was designated a cultural heritage site of regional significance.
