The Transport Directorate of Metinvest Pokrovsk Coal has purchased a generator for motorcade No. 4.

The equipment will provide electricity to a household during emergency outages.

The team of motorcade No. 4 is a division of the Transport Directorate, which performs production tasks at the “Enrichment Factory “Svyato-Varvarinskaya" LLC. During emergency power outages, the factory does not work, so the transportation people are also have to idle. Since the working conditions at this area are close to those in the field (there are no fixed facilities for the maintenance area and the administration building), it was necessary to take care of the comfort of the workers.

– The rolling stock of the motorcade consists of the dump trucks weighing thirty tons. The equipment is very large, and the premises of the car maintenance workshop can accommodate only one such dump truck at a time. Therefore, mechanics and drivers have to maintain the rest of the super heavy cars outdoors. In the summer it is not a problem, but in the winter it is not very comfortable to work, - says Ihor SUBOTIN, the head of motorcade No. 4.

The 5kW generator is not suitable to produce enough electricity to ensure the autonomous operation of a car maintenance shop, but it is quite sufficient to heat people. A kind of point of invincibility, where one can charge the gadgets, drink hot tea, take a shower after the end of the shift.

- With a generator, we are able to heat a household. There is a changing room, a shower room, an eating corner, a place for people to rest, etc. This is very important during the winter. There are severe frosts, so such care is not only appropriate, but also necessary, - states Serhii TATARINTSEV, the maintenance group foreman.
