Tashkent enforces strict environmental and safety regulations for construction sites
Municipal authorities in Tashkent have unveiled a regulatory project aimed at enforcing unified environmental and safety standards across all active construction sites in the capital. The initiative, designed to execute a recent decree by the city mayor, focuses on mitigating urban air pollution, modernizing site operations, and lowering environmental risks associated with rapid development.
Under the newly presented framework, approximately 1,700 construction sites currently operating throughout Tashkent will be granted a specific grace period to upgrade their infrastructure and bring their daily operations in line with the revised guidelines.
The updated compliance checklist establishes rigorous measures to contain dust and debris within project boundaries. Contractors will be required to install perimeter fencing, construct pedestrian safety canopies, and prominently display a comprehensive project passport detailing key construction data at the site entrance. To address air quality and particulate matter, sites must deploy microclimate control systems, specialized water sprayers, and continuous misting dispensers.
Furthermore, the regulations mandate advanced tracking technology to ensure transparency and compliance. Building sites will have to install surveillance cameras integrated directly into the central network of the Construction Control Inspection.
Complementing the video surveillance, developers must deploy real-time environmental sensors, night-vision tracking gear, and automated electricity meters. To preserve cleanliness on public roads, the project requires the setup of artesian water wells and dedicated vehicle-washing stations, making it strictly mandatory that all heavy machinery and construction vehicles are thoroughly cleaned before exiting onto municipal streets.
