We will remind you that a part of the coastline of the Namyv microdistrict collapsed recently in Mykolaiv. The city council reported that they plan to attract international funds for coastal fortification works.

in February 2022, it was reported that 48 million hryvnias would be needed to strengthen the coastline of the Namyv microdistrict, but there were no funds for this in the city budget.

Two years before that, in November 2020, the mayor of Mykolaiv Oleksandr Sienkevych promised that the strengthening of the coastline would begin in 2021.

Journalists showed the results of the destruction of the coastline of the Namyv microdistrict in June 2018. Then the water took away several meters of the beach, and the foundations of high-rise buildings began to sink.

In the same year, residents of Namiv began to sound the alarm that water was washing away the coastline. On this occasion, a meeting was held in Mykolayiv City Hall, where the possible implementation of the coastal fortification project, the improvement of the beach strip and the sanitary condition of the territory were discussed.

In addition, in 2016, the Department of Housing and Communal Services announced tenders for the development of the Namyv shore fortification project worth 416,000 hryvnias. For this, they planned to build an embankment. Then the company «DBK-Proekt», with which the contract was signed and which developed the coastal fortification project, won the bidding.

In October 2019, it became known that the Department of Capital Construction of the Mykolaiv City Council will spend 1 million 472 thousand 340 hryvnias on the development of a project to strengthen the Namyv's coastline. Later, the head of the Ukrainian Design Bureau, Hryhorii Patoka, explained that the need to develop a second project is related to a change in certain norms in construction.
