East SOS Prepares Project for Mobile Heating System in Zavodske, Poltava Region
As the enemy continues to attack critical infrastructure, leaving Ukrainian towns and villages without electricity and heat, it is increasingly important to create autonomous and sustainable solutions in advance.
A mobile heating system is an autonomous installation housed in a container, which can be easily installed and connected to a building. It provides heating and hot water independently of centralized networks and continues to operate even during blackouts.
The design covers a full range of work: thermal engineering calculations, determining required capacity, developing connection schemes to heating systems and electrical networks, selecting equipment, implementing safety solutions, and preparing a complete package of project documentation required for installation, start-up, and commissioning.
The proposed heating system will supply heat to a three-story building of 1,200 m², accommodating nearly 60 people. It will operate on solid fuel – wood and pellets.
“Most power equipment is not launched, not because of a lack of resources or willingness, but due to the absence of a proper project. The project is the foundation that allows us to move from intentions to the actual installation and commissioning of the facility,” said Oleksandr Shmaniov, Infrastructure Manager of the Reconstruction Program.
The East SOS team takes a systematic approach to planning and implementing infrastructure solutions that strengthen community resilience.
Last year, the East SOS Reconstruction team installed two modern shelters at outpatient clinics in the villages of Rubtsi and Yatskivka in the Lyman community (Donetsk region). Additionally, a hybrid solar power plant was installed at one of the pumping stations in Mykolaiv to ensure a continuous supply of centralized drinking water.
The design of the mobile heating system in Zavodske was carried out as part of the project “Comprehensive Humanitarian Assistance to Conflict-Affected Ukrainians and Third-Country Nationals in Ukraine, Poland, Romania, and Moldova”, implemented with support from Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe and funding from the German Federal Foreign Office.
