Lost In Translation

As I said in a previous post, I can quite often be found during the working day looking at websites from far-off countries as I research projects overseas.

Quite often, these sites have been translated into English from their mother tongue, and from the translations, the meaning of the original phrase isn't always immediately apparent.

Looking for information on Russian environmental agency Rostekhnadzor, I found this site. I'd ask you all to look at the sixth line down and hazard a guess at what the Russian creators really meant to say....

That is sort of cryptic, isn't it? I wonder if they are talking about plumbing, or something like that?
