Tender Announced to Restore Storm-Damaged Infrastructure in Village Erisimedi

The Municipal Development Fund of the Ministry of Infrastructure has announced a tender for the restoration of infrastructure damaged by natural disasters in the village of Erisimedi, Sighnaghi Municipality.

As part of the project, the condition of residential houses damaged by heavy rainfall and flooding will be assessed, followed by their rehabilitation and, structural strengthening, where necessary.

The Executive Director of the Municipal Development Fund, Giorgi Shonia, the State Representative in Kakheti, Platon Kalmakhelidze, and the Mayor of Sighnaghi Municipality, Malkhaz Begiashvili, inspected the situation on site and provided local residents with information on the planned infrastructure projects.

The village’s damaged road network will also be fully restored and rehabilitated. Stormwater drainage systems will be installed and rehabilitated to ensure the effective discharge of surface runoff and stormwater.

In addition, the project provides for the cleaning and reshaping of river channels in the vicinity of the village, as well as the construction of bank protection structures, which will help reduce the risks of flooding and inundation in the future.

The works will be implemented in two main stages. During the first stage, design and cost-estimate documentation will be prepared and the necessary studies will be carried out. The second stage will involve implementation of construction and rehabilitation works.

The project will contribute to restoring infrastructure damaged by the natural disaster, creating a safe living environment for local residents, while reducing the risk of future flooding.
