Cooperation 2.

Biogas plants integration

on the territory of Izyum neighourhood and other intrested communities in Ukraine

Cooperation 3.

Engineering

As outlined in the protocol, the Ukrainian team is in need of assistance, primarily due to the mobilisation of key experts or their unfortunate demise on the battlefield. Nevertheless, the necessity for immediate design is becoming increasingly apparent. The ongoing strenuous and stressful work is taking a toll on women engineers and architects, who are experiencing burnout. In light of the aforementioned circumstances, we propose extending support to the IZYUM recovery project in the realm of engineering. This would enable Ukrainian experts to align the project with Ukrainian legislation and establish it as a shared asset between the two countries and their twin cities.

The project requires the development of several sections, including GP /General Plan/, AP /Architectural Part/, MC /Metal Construction/, CC /Concrete Construction/, E /Electricity/, WS /Water & Sewer/, HV /Heating & Ventilation/ , and other sections necessary for the implementation of a large-scale urban planning project.
