A war veteran from Zaporizhzhia told us about his combat experience and his own path of reintegration into civilian life. Denys Humennyi from Zaporizhzhia has been working at ZAPOROZHOGNEUPOR since 2010. He started as a sorter in the Firebrick Shop and simultaneously participated in career development programmes offered by Metinvest Group to its employees. "During the first years of my work, I spent time studying technology and products, doing more than my position required. That's why I was offered to perform the duties of a Firebrick Shop foreman Then I applied for the "Young Leaders" corporate programme, and our team won a prize. This further motivated me to come up with new ideas to improve production. I worked in the Continuous Improvement Department. Later, in 2019, I moved to the Aluminium Silicate Shop as the head of the finished goods warehouse for high alumina production," recalls Denys HUMENNYI. With the outbreak of a full-scale war, the production worker decided to support

The second stage of first aid training was held in Kryvyi Rih for employees of Metinvest's Iron Ore Enrichment Works. The employees, being a part of pre-medical care teams, reviewed and solidified their previous knowledge and studied their skills in rescuing the injured.It is worth reminding that the first stage of training for GOK employees was conducted by experts of the Red Cross Society of Ukraine in the summer of this year Back then, 513 employees learned life-saving skills. In October, 342 employees, who are part of pre-medical care teams of their shops, improved their knowledge.At the seminars, employees discussed the theory and focused on developing practical algorithms and adjusting their actions in potential critical situations. They improved their current skills using special manikins and simulators to model scenarios that may arise at work, at home, or because of hostile shelling - starting from heart attacks and loss of consciousness to severe polytrauma.If you do not rep

We fill every day with important work for the sake of the victory. As part of Rinat Akhmetov's Steel Front defence initiative, Metinvest Group continues to supply soldiers at the front with protective equipment and machinery.

Scheduled preventative repairs were performed at Central GOK during a 26-hour shutdown of the crushing plant's 1st stage to avoid unplanned downtime.Conveyor belts at the crushing plant are the main blood vessels that are used for transportation of the iron ore from one crushing stage to the next one. Any breakdown can disrupt the production schedule and impact the efficiency of the entire enterprise. The upgrade of the conveyor belt of the plant's 1st and 2nd stages is conducted every 3 years at the Central GOK's crushing plant. This time, 1st stage was shut down for a little more than a day for repairs. The primary goal of the planned shutdown is the replacement of the transportation belt on the K-1 conveyor. While this task is familiar to the specialists, it requires precise calculations and careful planning."We started our preparation for the belt replacement in advance. At first, we had to merge three parts of the belt together. As the K-1 conveyor is one of the two longest at th

Nazar Psariuk from Zaporizhstal is sure that everyone can retrain and get a new profession.At present, employers, being under the conditions of staff shortage, are turning more to the retraining of their employees to train knowledgeable specialists at their own corporate training centres The expertise of experienced industrial mentors, combined with practical experience in real production, gives the desired result.Every year, Zaporizhstal's Staff Development Department trains hundreds of employees for a second profession and upgrades their skills. Nazar Psariuk, a furnace helper, also took the opportunity to acquire a new profession and professional education.After receiving non-industrial vocational education about 20 years ago, Nazar started searching for a job. At that time, his brother was already working at Zaporizhstal, in the Steelmaking Shop, and he set an example for Nazar."I knew well the specifics of work in the Steelmaking Shop, and I wanted to become a steelmaker too.

During a scheduled three-day shutdown, Northern GOK employees completed planned maintenance at the ore beneficiation plants (RZF-1, 2) and slurry pumping station No.1 (SPS-1). All upgraded equipment was successfully recommissioned on schedule.The maintenance work began with shutting down the slurry pumping station of the water supply facility and sludge processing department. The maintenance scope included replacement, repairs, inspection, and technical servicing of pumping equipment, valves, and water supply pipelines."Our primary objective was to optimize the technical water supply system. We focused particularly on the equipment critical to this process. The replacement of this equipment is only possible if the processing complex is stopped, specifically the RZF-1, 2, and SPS-1 divisions. Our technical team conducted preliminary equipment diagnostics to identify components requiring replacement. To ensure efficient operation of the equipment, we have planned the necessary repairs t

Up-to-dateness, small size, optimal capacity utilisation. Kamet-Steel's Oxygen and Compressor Shop is in the process of upgrading its compressed air system, which will help power engineers improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption of the enterprise. The equipment modernisation project is being implemented at the site of compressed air production, which is required both to ensure the operation of the plant's iron and steel making divisions and to further produce oxygen for the plant's needs. The energy-saving measures primarily involve replacing the old K-1500 compressor with new SM6100 compressor equipment from Hanwha Power Systems, a South Korean company. Four modern compressors with the appropriate total capacity will ensure the optimization of the compressed air system, more flexibility in regulating the use of compressor capacities in optimal modes, and more rapid response to the real needs of the enterprise's subdivisions, i.e. operating in a more cost-effective mode. The

На Каметсталі за підсумками вересня для шахтарів Покровська відвантажили понад 4 000 тонн сортового фасонного профілю СВП-27. Таким чином, команда прокатного цеху вперше вийшла на стабільні промислові обсяги виробництва продукції, освоєної наприкінці минулого року. Нагадаємо, виробництво сортового фасонного профілю СВП-27 вперше в Україні було освоєне на Каметсталі в умовах трубозаготівельного стана, в межах програми Метінвесту з відновлення частково втраченого сортаменту, який раніше виробляли на металургійних комбінатах Маріуполя. Ця так звана шахтна стійка призначена для кріплення гірничих виробок у шахтах і є необхідним елементом у технології вугледобування. Новий прокат пройшов атестаційні випробування, які підтвердили його відповідність вимогам державного стандарту. Від моменту освоєння, під час якого СВП-27 катали вагонними партіями 200-500 тонн на місяць, прокатники виконали чималу роботу, за результатами якої влітку-2024 виробництво збільшилося до 2 000 тонн на місяць, а у ве

Ознайомлення з виробництвом на практиці, комунікація з досвідченими фахівцями, розширення професійних знань та яскраві враження від побаченого – візит на підприємство майбутніх коксохіміків, студентів Придніпровського металургійного фахового коледжу, став для них вирішальним кроком у професію.Вже багато років комбінат співпрацює з профільними навчальними закладами міста, надаючи можливість студентам пройти виробничу практику на підприємстві та влаштуватися на роботу. А ще запрошує їх на ознайомчі екскурсії цехами Каметсталі. Цього разу комбінат відвідали майбутні коксохіміки.Молоді гості мали унікальну можливість побачити на власні очі увесь технологічний процес від підготовки вугілля до видачі готового коксу та проведення хімічних аналізів у лабораторії. Студенти впевнилися, що коксохімічне виробництво – це не тільки важкі фізичні умови праці, а й складний інтелектуальний процес, що вимагає високої кваліфікації і глибоких знань.Під час екскурсії студенти мали можливість відвідати вуг
