Completion of the construction for the main basket is imminent.


The employees of THYSSEN SCHACHTBAU GMBH have started laying the hoisting ropes and installing the large cage and the counterweight in the SKS-1 shaft at the Norilsk operating site.
 
The construction of the large cage with a weight of several tons was brought in to a depth of 2 kilometres. This extremely complicated and responsible work is nearing completion.
 
Immediately after the assembly of the steel structures, our experts will start the commissioning of the monitoring and communication systems in the shaft for the purpose of setting up the cage hoisting in automatic operation.

With the onset of warm weather in the Norilsk industrial area, preparatory works for asphalting the SKS-1 site and roads for ore transport have started.
 
The temporary warehouses, social facilities, vehicles and equipment, which have ensured the successful work of our employees for more than 10 years, are being removed from the site. As soon as the terrain is dry again after the snow, our employees will complete the planning of the construction site and carry out the asphalting and installation according to the project.
