The engineering network project for the Caspian resort has been approved by the Main State Expert Review Board.
More than 40 km of power supply networks will be laid on the territory of the future seaside resort, more than 50 km of water supply and sewage pipes will be built, 9 km of gas pipelines and communication networks will be connected, and transformer substations, pumping stations, and sewage stations will be erected. Particular attention is paid to water treatment systems. The management company of the Kavkaz.RF tourist cluster is currently preparing documentation for a tender to select a contractor. The general designer for the creation of engineering networks at the resort is Bristol-Project.
"Well-designed engineering networks are invisible to tourists, but they are an essential part of the resort's infrastructure. They create the basis for a comfortable stay and the efficient and, most importantly, safe operation of future sanatoriums, hotels, water parks, concert halls, and sports halls, which residents of the SEZ are already beginning to build. This project differs from our previous mountain resorts in that most of the construction involves the construction of treatment facilities, as the marine cluster will be built on the first coastline," notes Vladimir Lapukhin, Deputy Director General of Kavkaz.RF.
“The design of treatment facilities is an important part of any construction project, especially in regions with unique natural conditions. Treatment facilities play a key role in protecting the environment and ensuring the ecological sustainability and safety of the resort,” said Alexander Malakhov, chief expert at Russia's Main State Expert Review Board.
Two more seaside resort projects are currently undergoing approval by Glavgosexpertiza. According to the documents, five parking lots with 1,925 parking spaces and landscaping with small architectural forms, greenery, public transport stops, and restrooms will appear on the cluster's territory.
Earlier this year, projects for the construction of a multifunctional center and road infrastructure for the resort were approved. Construction of the MFC has already begun, and the management company will start building roads before the end of the year; preparatory work is currently underway. Almost 16 km of road will have to be built from scratch, and pedestrian routes, checkpoints, and stops will have to be constructed. The resort's main highway will run along the upper border of the SEZ, with four exits leading to the resort area. The main pedestrian route will wind through almost the entire resort and lead to the central square and the marina.
The Caspian Coastal Cluster project in the Derbent district of the Republic of Dagestan is being developed on behalf of the President of the Russian Federation. The future seaside resort will be part of the large-scale Five Seas and Lake Baikal project, a joint venture between the republic's government and Kavkaz.RF, coordinated by the Russian Ministry of Economic Development.
Today, 16 residents are registered in the special economic zone developed by Kavkaz.RF. They will build hotels, sanatoriums, and restaurants. The total amount of declared investments in the project is 62.9 billion rubles. It is expected that by 2030, the seaside resort on the Caspian Sea will be able to accommodate up to 700,000 people per year.
