LT2009 m. UKM tyrė vandentiekio–nuotekų tranšėjų vietas K. Ladygos gatvėje. Magistralinės nuotekų tranšėjos vietoje išilgai gatvės buvo iškastos 5 perkasos (1–4 ir 8). Įvadų vietose skersai gatvės iškastos dar 5 perkasos (5–7, 9–10) ir vienas šurfas (I). Magistralinė nuotekų trasa buvo palaipsniui lenkiama esamos vandentiekio trasos link, todėl jos neperkastas plotas tiriamose perkasose mažėjo [p. 385].
