Stoilensky continues conveyor gallery repairs
Stoilensky Mining and Beneficiation Plant, an NLMK Group company, continues to perform repairs on an ore transportation conveyor gallery that collapsed on September 7, 2020. According to preliminary estimates, repair works will continue until September 23, meaning that it will take a total of 15 days to repair the gallery.
At present, the metal structures are being disassembled. More than 200 Stoilensky, NLMK and contractor employees are engaged on the construction site. Works are being performed around the clock. Alongside the disassembly works, the company is taking receipt of materials needed for repair works, including cable products, metal structures, and components. Top-assembly of the metal structures will soon begin.
Planned repairs at other production areas, including a part of pelletizer overhaul works planned for October, were rescheduled to the forced shutdown period. Optimization of repairs will help reduce concentrate production losses in 2020 and boost production volumes in 2021.
The iron ore needs of NLMK Lipetsk, the main consumer of Stoilensky products, will be covered by the company’s own stock and external supplies during the repair period. The incident will not impact NLMK Lipetsk steel and rolled product output.
One Stoilensky employee and an employee of a contractor organization injured during the collapse are in satisfactory condition on sick leave at home.
