Cherepovets Iron and Steel Works has completed the first stage of the coking battery No. 4 reconstruction – the foundation of the first plate. The total cost of the project is some 6 billion rubles.
“This is a unique event for our city, our country and even for the whole CIS. Reconstruction of such a machinery is made rather rarely”, Severstal Russian Steel investments director Sergey Sidorkov said.
For the foundation of the first plate some 2.5 thousand cubic meters of concrete have been prepared. The foundation consists of 3 layers.
The concrete laying took 36 hours to complete.
The battery will be commissioned in late 2018. (Ukrainian metal)
