Arge AKV 1 finishes the mining works.

The work of the joint venture AKV 1 for the excavations of the pits of the backfill preparation in lot 1 was completed on 29 March. The last anchor had to be drilled - a successful surprise for Managing Director Dr. Thomas Lautsch, who did not allow himself to be asked for long.

Thomas Dreyszas, Project Manager, and Clemens Mock, Plant Manager of ARGE AKV 1, reported on site on the services provided by the joint venture since the start of the excavation activities in May 2016. 15,000 m³ of excavated material, 10,000 m² of consolidation and 62 km of anchors were drilled and set, 12 km of which were first-securing anchors and 50 km of expansion anchors.

Dr. Thomas Lautsch and Dr. Jan Tegtmeier thanked AKV1 for their successful work and emphasized the fact that the work could even be completed before the original deadline. A small snack including the possibility of technical exchange rounded off the event underground.

The task now is to dismantle the construction site as far as possible and to concentrate on the installation of the inner shell in the pit washbasin - a rather atypical mining job.

The first coordination talks took place in October 2013. The services for the excavation of the pits of the backfill preparation as the last major mining project at the Konrad mine were put out to tender. This was followed by a large number of bidding interviews and inspections. The procedure ended with the award of the services in February 2016 to the joint ventures AKV 1 and Marti AKV 2 with an award value of € 76.5 million. ARGE Marti AKV 2 is still involved in the construction work due to its larger scope of services.
