What prevents to raise floating PD-50. On the results of the work of divers
In the media, information appeared about the damage sustained by the floating dock PD-50, where the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft-carrying cruiser was being repaired. Recall that float sank after a failure of the pumps, caused by problems with the supply of electricity. The Murmansk region covered the elements, there was sticking of sleet on the power lines, which caused numerous precipices. These factors are officially named the causes of problems with the supply of electricity at the ship repair plant and the termination of the pumps.
Water, rushing into PD-50 tanks, led to the flooding of one of the largest floats in the world.
Recall that the Minister of Industry of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov on Thursday said that the decision whether or not to raise the float would be made in the “next two days”. Today is the last day, based on the statement of the Minister.
Meanwhile, in the media there were reports that there is a high probability of failure to lift the floating dock. The fact is that divers, who for the last few days have been investigating the state of PD-50, have established the presence of numerous damages. So, the news agency Interfax, referring to unnamed sources, reports that the hull body of a bald spot was badly damaged when hitting the ground during flooding. The irretrievable loss of two floating dock tower cranes is noted.
At the same time, it is added that now the possibility of buying an analogue of PD-50, rather than lifting the sunken dock, is being considered. However, there is no information as to who the float of such dimensions can be ordered, and how long it may take to implement the project.
Recall that earlier in the United Shipbuilding Corporation announced the absence of the impact of the accident with PD-50 on the planned repair work TAVKR "Admiral Kuznetsov." Then it turned out that the aircraft-carrying cruiser received serious damage as a result of the fall of the tower crane. A 5-meter hole in the hull and violation of the integrity of the deck of the only aircraft carrier of the Russian Navy was announced.
As a supplement: in the course of diving work, it was established that PD-50 is inclined. One of its parts is located at a depth of 10 m, the other is near 30. In this case, the float is at the bottom on the very edge of the pit, about a hundred meters deep. When working on the elevation of PD-50, there is a danger that the float into this pit in the water area of the ship repair plant No. XXUMX will slip and “carry” equipment that can be used during lifting. To date, the air bubble, which has formed in the upper part of the floating dock, prevents the slide.
