Nezhinskiy GOK based on the Starobinskiy potash salt deposit

Today we will go to farther south of the capital of our homeland to the city of Lyuban, where the Nezhinskiy GOK is located 6 km from it. Stoitegia acts as a contractor and we would like to share the progress of construction on the site.

The Nezhinskiy mining and processing plant, located on the basis of the Starobinskiy potash salt deposit, is the third enterprise in Belarus for the extraction of potassium and the production of potash fertilizers after Soligorsk and Petrikov. At the moment, it is planned that in 2022 the mine will be able to produce 1.1 million tons of potash fertilizers, and to reach its design capacity (2.1 million tons), it will take 2.5 years.

The construction of the Nezhinskiy mining and processing complex is being carried out in the Lyubanskiy district at a high pace. Last year, Slavkaliy completed shaft sinking. Today, the mine area of the Mine is getting ready for the start of commercial production of potash ore. Active construction work is being carried out on the surface of the complex. With the help of our team, buildings are being erected for lifting machines of the cage and skip shaft, above-ground warm passage No. 1, a reloading unit, a privateer of the cage shaft, a building for temporary release of rock from the horizon, ventilation units for the main ventilation and a heater.

Let's start in order, the construction of buildings for lifting machines of the cage and skip shafts, the air heater and the above-ground warm transition No. 1 has entered the home stretch, where the final touch was only the completion of special works, such as electrical installation, low-current and plumbing.

In the building of fan units, all general construction work has also been completed and, in addition to performing special work, the installation of air ducts is being carried out.

We started the construction of the building for temporary distribution of rocks from the horizon about two months ago. During this time, the development of the pit, the pouring of the monolithic foundation was completed, and today we are already starting the installation of metal structures.

In the building of the pile driver of the cage shaft, pulleys are being installed, which will later lift containers with mined potash salt.
