Zaporizhstal has completed the large-scale assembly at the blast furnace No. 3 being reconstructed.
“We’re carrying out electric and technical work and starting testing the equipment”, the company CEO Rostislav Shurma said.
The gigantic crane Mammoet with the lifting capacity of 1600 tons has finished its work at the reconstruction. Soon it will be disassembled and sent back to the Netherlands.
“Our task is to finish all the construction work in April, so as to put the blast furnace into operation in May”, Shurma underlined.
The blast furnace was shut down in November 2016. The overhaul is expected to take 150 days. Investments total 1.5 billion UAH. (Ukrainian metal)
