Metinvest has allocated over UAH 28 mln for the implementation of this project.Metinvest Central Iron Ore has an extensive railway track system, with the total length of 270 km. This complex railway system is serviced daily by relevant services to ensure that rock mass and produced raw materials are delivered to destinations on time and without incidents. This year, specialists from the track and railway facility shop of Central Iron Ore railway transport department, in addition to routine maintenance and repair works, are performing capital restoration of several tracks and switch points.

Leading employers in Zaporizhia have recently highlighted job opportunities for war veterans and internally displaced persons (IDPs).The issue of employment for veterans and displaced individuals was a key focus at the Opportunities Fair organised by the Department of Veteran Affairs in Zaporizhia.Rehina Kharchenko, Secretary of the City Council, underscored the importance of integrating veterans and IDPs into the local community.“Since the start of the full-scale invasion, 300,000 IDPs have passed through Zaporizhia, with 154,000 settling here. Nearly 70% of them are of working age and wish to contribute to the community. It’s important that they find their place here – at our enterprises, businesses, schools, hospitals, or local government. We’re glad to welcome them in any public area.The same applies to veterans who want to return to their civilian jobs or follow their business pursuits. They have an undeniable right to influence the processes and decisions made in their communiti

In the energy sector of Kamet-Steel, one of the most extensive repairs of the year is underway. In November, under the 2024 program, the AKAr-40/35 air distribution unit went into a 50-day overhaul. The purpose of the modern air distribution unit, which was commissioned in 2007, is to provide technological processes of steel-making and blast furnace departments with air separation products, primarily oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. The capacity according to the data sheet of AKAr-40/35 is 40,000 m³/hour of nitrogen and 35,000 m³/hour of oxygen. The unit also produces krypton and xenon and neon and helium mixtures, which the enterprise sells to external consumers. Repairmen are completing preparation for a complete replacement of the adsorbent – a highly dispersed material for purifying air from moisture and carbon dioxide, which negatively affect the productivity and quality of air distribution. The adsorbers have already been cleaned of the old material, and specialists are repairing in

Працівники запорізьких підприємств Метінвесту долучилися до збору донорської крові.Днями у Запорізькому обласному центрі переливання крові було людяно – тут зібралися на донорську акцію приблизно 40 працівників запорізьких підприємств Метінвесту. Загалом цього разу металурги змогли зібрати понад 17 л донорської крові.Такі заходи для промисловців не в новинку: традиція віддавати частинку себе заради спасіння життів народилася ще далеко до початку повномасштабної війни.- Раніше на комбінаті по декілька разів на рік влаштовували дні донора. Повномасштабна війна трохи змінила звичний графік донацій, але не скасувала його. Сьогодні здаємо кров на потреби людей, що постраждали від воєнних дій. Це вже шоста наша велика донорська акція від початку великої війни, і далеко не остання, – зазначив заступник голови молодіжної організації Запоріжсталі Сергій ПЕТРОВ.Серед інших цього дня до акції доєдналася Руслана СТРОНА, машиністка насосних установок цеху водопостачання Запоріжсталі.

At Metinvest’s Kryvyi Rih mining and processing plants (Northern, Central, and Inhulets GZKs), a training programme continues for specialised medical and firefighting teams. In October, 50 comprehensive training sessions took place across various structural divisions. Currently, medical and firefighting teams are active in every production shift, with employees regularly honing their skills through practical exercises. These comprehensive training sessions follow a schedule. First aid training, including follow-up sessions, is provided by instructors from the Ukrainian Red Cross Society. Firefighting teams are trained by internal coaches from fire and rescue services. Firefighting team members practise containment and early extinguishing, with the use of primary fire-fighting equipment to prevent the spread of fire and mitigate the negative consequences of incidents. “The plants have a response system in place for assisting those affected by wartime incidents,” explained Maksym SOVENK

Transportation Departments of Metinvest Iron Ore Plants undertook a range of measures to prepare machinery, equipment, production buildings, offices, and amenity facilities for operation during the winter period.The night temperature in Kryvyi Rih has been below zero for two weeks. Morning frosts, especially after rain, change the situation on the roads. These seasonal changes involve the transition of transport to cold weather operation. The motor transport shops at Central Iron Ore and Ingulets Iron Ore, along with the automotive shop at Northern Iron Ore, prepared for winter in advance. In particular, they replaced summer tyres with winter ones on all light vehicles and delivered and stored a sand-salt blend and screenings for scattering on the routes used by employees within the shops."For the winter period we have purchased 180 tonnes of scattering material and prepared two MDK combined road machines equipped with spreaders and snow removal tools to keep the roads clear of snow.
