Turnkey complex of works for the Skalisty mine
- Client: Thyssen Shakhtbau GMBH, operating through its representative office in Norilsk
- Task: Contract work on installing fire-resistant and anticorrosive coatings using materials of own production AKRUS® object mine «Skalisty».
PJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel is a Russian company, the leader of the mining and metallurgical industry in Russia and the world. The deepest mine of the Norilsk Nickel Company, which is also the deepest in Eurasia, is the Skalisty Mine (the depth of the mine is more than two kilometers).
The Skalisty mine is one of the main sources of replenishment of the retiring capacities of the Polar Branch for rich ore.
The German company THYSSEN Schachtbau, which won bins for constructing two of the deepest mine shafts in Eurasia — SCS-1 and VS-10, conducted work using innovative methods for Russia. The depth of the skip-cage trunk No. 1 today is 1890 meters.
The sinking is carried out using sinking machines from OLKO Maschinentechnik GmbH. By 2022, they will have uncovered deep deposits of the Oktyabrsky field of rich ores. There are three trunks on the «Skalisty», which provide the main production. Mining operations are carried out at a depth of 700-900 meters.
Today, work is continuing on the BC-10 to re-equip the trunk for a permanent period. Work is underway in production buildings on the surface. Under the guidance of the chief engineers of the companies SIEMAG and ELPRO, the cage and skip lifting machines have been installed, and electrical work on the skip lifting machine continues.
The lead vessel of the 00216M project, the PortNews chemical tanker, was developed by the Vympel design bureau specifically for Volgotrans LLC. It differs from its counterpart, the chemical tanker RST27, in its higher efficiency and complexity of equipment.
The vessel 00216M (river-sea) is created for transporting petroleum and petroleum products (without the restriction of steams and molasses) and for a wide range of bulk cargo – harmful liquid substances. In one voyage, the vessel can carry three types of cargo.
These requirements assume the highest quality of all construction work, both welding and installation of special equipment, systems and pumps.
Main features of the 00216M project:
- LOA - 141,0 m;
- Beam - 16,7 m;
- High - 6,0 m;
- Deadweight in fresh water with draft 3,60 m - near 5350 tons;
- Deadweight in fresh water with draft 4,6 m (up to the summer cargo waterline) - near 7900 tons;
- Autonomy – 15 days;
- Speed - near 10 knots;
- Crew/number of seats - 12/13 persons.
The vessel is named after the information and analytical agency «PortNews», an industry media in sea and river transport.
