| Mechel constructs Elga deposit access road Mechel OAO, one of the leading Russian mining and metals companies, announces that its subsidiary, Yakutugol Joint Stock Holding Company, continues active construction work on the Elga coal deposit access road. In February 2008, Mechel started construction of the railway spur-track to the Elga deposit. An opening ceremony for this work was held on June 22, 2008. Transstroy Engineering Corporation ZAO, the general contractor for the construction, is performing the work on both the railway and the auto-road near the track. To date, 80 km of the road constructed earlier have been renewed. In addition, construction on a number of different segments of the road route totaling 93 km has also been realized. Traffic can transit the road up to the 184th km, and road filling is underway from the 217th to the 256th km. Sixty-four culverts have been mounted across the road, and construction of 27 road bridges is also nearing completion. Additionally, since construction began, the railway from Ulak station, constructed by Ministry of Railways in 2002, has also been repaired. It includes 59 km of the railway track. Also, 26 km of the roadbed for the main railroad have been cut from the 60th km boundary to the Elga deposit, and the related railroad track is now being installed. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
