The works are carried out in extremely difficult conditions: by means of open-pit excavation, in the area of ​​high concentration of existing communications. In addition, the work is difficult due to the instability of the soil, so a sliding wall will be installed to stabilize the slopes of the trench. The works are also complicated by the fact that it will not be possible to stop the flow of wastewater flowing through the surface wastewater collector at the intersection of Verkių and Kareivių streets, so the reconstruction of said network will be out on the existing path.
