The facility is being created as part of the federal project “Infrastructure for Handling I-II Hazard Class Waste” as part of the national project “Ecology”, which is being implemented by Rosatom State Corporation. The customer is Rusatom Greenway.
As part of the construction of the PTC “Western Siberia”, 41 facilities are being built, of which 21 buildings are at a high level of readiness.
Works are currently in full swing at the construction site. Currently, more than 3,000 tons of metal frame and more than 120 tons of overpass have been installed. 100% of the works on the installation of power lines that will supply power to the site has been completed.
Works are proceeding at a rapid pace on the “Thermal Disposal Unit” facility. High-temperature disposal of a mixture of solid, liquid and pasty waste will take place here. The main equipment delivery and large-scale assembly of this unit are currently underway, and works are being carried out to install the scrubber, flues and bag filter. After the installation works are completed, specialists will begin commissioning. The commissioning of the heat treatment line is planned for this year.
Works on auxiliary buildings continue. Finishing works are underway in the premises of the secondary waste finished product warehouse and the solid and pasty waste warehouse.
In total, more than 200 people and about 40 units of equipment are involved at the site - these are lifting mechanisms, excavators, various installations for bored piles for linear structures and overpasses. In the summer, it is planned to increase the number of personnel to 350 people.
There are 5 contractors working at the Western Siberia PTC. Also participating in the construction and implementation of the facility are JSC SEM and the Own Construction Management branch of JSC CONCERN TITAN-2.
Dmitry Kalsin, Deputy Head of the Proryv SS for the construction of the PTC of JSC CONCERN TITAN-2:
“This project has no analogues in the country. It will have unique equipment, which is manufactured by special order specifically for “Western Siberia”. The technologies used in the eco-technopark will be closed in a single production cycle, using modern multi-level security systems.
The project is being implemented according to schedule. Our main tasks for this year are to fully complete the infrastructure associated with two key facilities - the building of physical and chemical methods and the building of the thermal neutralization plant, where it is necessary to fully complete the construction, installation and commissioning works”.
