ECONOMY
The pipeline route "The Power of Siberia", which is conveyed in the Lena region of Yakutia, can already be seen from the air - on approach to Lensky in porthole window is clearly visible stretches deep into the taiga sea vista. Now to be clear all the 207 kilometers of the first stage of the pipeline - from oil and gas field Chayandinskoye to Lensk.According to the "Power of Siberia" blue fuel Chayanda in 2019 will go to the Far East and China.

Taiga - the starting point
Miles from the cleared forest pipeline route in the principal's office Lena linear production department of main gas pipelines (LPUMG) "Gazprom Transgaz Tomsk" - a subsidiary of Gazprom - Vladimir Ivanovich Aksentischeva marked by flags on the map, stretching along the entire wall. On the map clearly shows how cuts its way "The Power of Siberia." Lena LPUMG - one of the 22 branches of "Gazprom Transgaz Tomsk" - was created in 2013. Today it employs 71 people, mostly residents of Lensk, slightly more than a third of experts invited from other regions.
- Specificity of the construction of our site is that it is, in fact, the starting point of the pipeline.There are few roads, and while we cut down the forest on the most accessible sites, - said Vladimir Aksentischev. - In addition to clearing the road, the construction of two objects: the production base of the Lena LPUMG and temporary housing complex for 150 seats - for specialists technical supervision of construction.

regional construction management will still be open on the pipeline route. Two of them - in the Amur region - the Free and Skovorodino
In the Lena taiga not fly any aircraft or helicopter. Woodcutters and workers have to be laid forest roads to where you can not get on the track of the ESPO pipeline, which is parallel to and build the "power of Siberia." Because of the inaccessibility of the first segment of the pipeline began to build from the end - from Lensk. First of all workers and technicians went to the areas to which the easiest way to get there. On one of these - 206-km highway "Power of Siberia" - A group of journalists from the Far East and Siberia, on the spot to assess the specificity of the construction of the gas pipeline system.
On the trail smell of freshly cut wood, and the feet go deep in the red plowed soil mixed with wood chips. On this site have worked loggers, whose main task - to cut down a clearing width of 42 meters, uprooting stumps and remove trees from the road. Workers not to cut down too much, their control specialists Environment Department Lena LPUMG.
- We woods "mow" - smiling in response to the question of the feller from Buryatia Alexander Victoria. He is the second month at a construction site, and on March 1 will leave for a vacation home, where he has been waiting for. He is no stranger to work away from home - in the Krasnoyarsk region, he participated in the construction of the pipeline. Said conditions at the construction site of the current good.
- The working day from 8 am to 8 meals four times a day - we bring food in thermoses, right on the job. Not far from here we rotational town - there is a sauna, and a dining room, toilets and warm - describes the life of Alexander. In his team have work from Irkutsk and even from Krasnodar. 
Bulldoze
Following the loggers are heavy machinery that literally changes the terrain. Bulldoze a hill and, if necessary, raise the lowlands - that is the goal Brigade excavator and bulldozer master construction and installation works from Tyumen Eugene Sukharev.
- That this hill will not be fast - we srezh it - pointing to the steep slope behind us, which employs excavators, says Eugene. - In the day we move approximately 3.5 thousand cubic meters of earth. Working around the clock in two shifts. Now is the favorable time and temperature appropriate, soil and podmerzshie - well cleaned. In general, the winter was warm. It was only five days with temperatures below -50 degrees when the equipment fails.
In this podmerzshie earth brick color in the next two years will shape all the pipes of the first section, "The Power of Siberia."
- On our way and rocky ground, and impassable swamps, - explains the head of capital construction Lena LPUMG Anton Medovikov. - But despite all the difficulties, by 2017, the first section of the pipeline will be laid. Nearly 80 kilometers of pipes for him last year brought in the Lena River Lena, which is now the main transport artery for "Power of Siberia."
- City Lensk all in the pipe - we have found every possible area to store it - smiles Vladimir Aksentischev. - Lensk was ready to receive such cargo. We rented seven open areas where the pipe is stored.
Intractable northern nature goes to meet the gas company, after a warm winter promising early navigation. Due to the record high in the last hundred years, the temperature it can begin as early as from 1 April. So, this spring lenchane a month earlier than usual will be released on the embankment of the sacred river for local residents to meet drifting ice.
Loggers have to pave the road to where you can not get to the oil pipeline, which is being built parallel to the "Power of Siberia."
The big building - great prospects 
For 21-year-old resident of Lensk Paul Kulpanova construction of "Power of Siberia" may be the starting point Gazodobytchik career. While he only maintenance worker at a construction site production base LPUMG Lensky, but will soon be able to start training in one of the universities in the chosen specialty gas, then to return to the production in the new role.
- I graduated from high school, returned from the army and immediately got on the job.Before going to a vocational school to learn mechanic - other profession we do not get it. But now I plan to learn from the operator of oil and gas, - says the guy. - The personnel department told me that I can come to study and then come back here to work. So a lot of prospects. And a lot of guys from Lensk arranged in "Gazprom".
Square base LPUMG - nine hectares, which will house an office building, a warm parking, repair shops, warehouses. Now here are dumping area - the area will raise a total of 4.5 meters, with the water level of the last catastrophic flood that occurred in Lensk in 2001. Most of the buildings scheduled to be completed later this year. In addition lenchan, work here Siberians from Tomsk and Novosibirsk.
Locals are working on clearing the routes: four two subcontractors registered in the republic.In the Lena LPUMG recently has five graduates of Northeastern University, located in Yakutsk. All of them have graduated from the department open to oil and gas industry and were awarded certificates Alexey Miller, guaranteeing employment in the company Gazprom.
OPINION
Vladimir Aksentischev , director Lena LPUMG: 
- Our management is formed by two-thirds of local specialists working previously on laying pipelines. At the same time we have invited professionals from other regions - we have presented almost the entire geography of the country. Because it is a grand building, and we need a good experience professionals. The social component of the work is very important for our organization - we offer visitors departmental staff apartment. For this purpose, bought the entrance of a multistory building in Lensk. In the near future, management will expand the staff, we need cadres working professions - 40 drivers and 8 service personnel to provide crew change cantonments. All these jobs can apply primarily residents Lensk.
