The student council of Metinvest Polytechnic has become part of the countrywide non-governmental organisation "Ukrainian Students League" (USL), which brings together active students from over 80 universities and 15 non-governmental organisations across Ukraine. Also, the student council has joined a separate unit of the association in Zaporizhzhia, strengthening the youth voice in one of the country's key industrial regions.This step is not just about formal membership. In today's world, a university is not merely a place where you gain knowledge. It is a space that shapes a new generation of leaders, responsible citizens, and those who build the country's future. Joining the Ukrainian Students League opens up a pathway for students from Metinvest Polytechnic to connect with a network of like-minded people, activists, and organisations that develop student self-government, implement socially important initiatives, influence the country's youth policy, and strengthen interregional coo

To see metallurgy live, feel the production rhythm and try yourself as an engineer – this was the goal of the next laboratory and training session held for Metinvest Politechnic students at Zaporizhstal plant of Metinvest Group.This time, students majoring in ferrous metallurgy, metallurgy management, rolling and sinter blast furnace production were involved in the participation. During the week, they worked directly at the production sites of the enterprise, performing laboratory tasks, attending master classes and communicating with specialists in various areas. The program of the training session included master classes on quality control, modernization of rolling production and improving the efficiency of the enterprise.Кирило Прасолов"What I like about studying at Metinvest Politechnic is a modern approach to education. Everything is presented in an accessible way, of course, each issue is considered from different angles. We do not just study theory, but analyse different scient

Railway workers at Central Iron Ore have developed and implemented a project to reduce the distance for ore transportation to the crushing plant. The initiative will save nearly 500 tonnes of diesel fuel annually, worth over UAH 25 million.Two ore transportation routes to the crushing plant caught the attention of Railway Office specialists. The first route transports 3 million tonnes per year, the second – 2.6 million tonnes per year."Considering the current production configuration and railway development diagrams of the Railway Office, we found an option to optimise two of three ore transportation routes," commented Andrii BRYKOVETS, head of the Railway Office's production bureau at Central Iron Ore. "The existing route from 'Hrekuvata' station, which has been used to transport ore to the crushing plant, was 7.9 kilometres long. Building a bypass enabled us to transport ore directly to the crushing plant, reducing the transportation distance by 5 kilometres. Consequently, diesel fu

The major overhaul of Kamet-Steel's Blast Furnace No. 9 has reached its peak point. Specialists have completed cleaning the hearth of burden materials and started the main refractory concreting work on key sections of the unit.Renewal of the hearth's refractory lining and upper hearth bottom tops the list of key works within the framework of the BF No. 9 major overhaul. Having completed the final removal of burden materials, repair workers poured the first layer, and after technologically determined settling time, have already begun work on pouring the main layer of refractory concrete, which is nearly 1 meter in thickness.This was preceded by an important stage – the replacement of over 220 cooling staves in the hearth, upper hearth bottom, tuyere zone, boshes, and partially the furnace shaft.Accompanying repairs to the blast furnace's hot blast stoves and ring air duct, which is responsible for quality hot blast delivery to the furnace, are also nearing completion. Lining work has a

For 71 years, Oxygen-Compressor Shop has been operating stably at Zaporizhstal, an important energy subdivision, the team of which provides the plant with air separation products.The operation of any metallurgical production is impossible without energy resources. In the manufacture of steel products, both electricity, natural gas, oxygen, and materials or mixtures that are rarely used in everyday life are used. OCP is one of the subdivisions responsible for the stable supply of such resources to the shops of the plant.FACTOxygen-Compressor shop began operating in May 1953Oxygen, compressed air, nitrogen, argon, autogenous oxygen and much more: it will be difficult to list all the products produced by OCP, but they are used literally in every subdivision.In addition, OCP also produces medical oxygen certified by the Ministry of Health. Currently, its production volumes are somewhat less than during covid. However, even now there is a high need for it – during the war, Zaporizhstal has

Delo.ua has named Metinvest Group as the leading investor in energy independence among 20 Ukrainian companies.The publication conducted a survey of large companies, excluding energy producers.

The "Free Waves" swimming rehabilitation project started in Zaporizhzhia in July 2024. As part of it, war veterans and active military personnel are engaged free of charge according to the method of the Olympic swimming medallist Denys Silantiev.To improve not only physical but also mental health, psychologists are now joining the "Free Waves" project."The first time, the boys did not really open up because they doubted whether I would actually swim and train with them. I promised them I would come and work with them in the water. Now I have a small group of 5-6 people, and I lead them. We have consultations both before and after swimming, and we discuss everything that concerns or interests the boys. I can see that water really helps relieve stress, improve sleep, and develop joints. This is very good, and I would certainly like the project to expand," says Yulia LEVYTSKA, psychologist for the "Free Waves" project.Veterans welcome this innovation, as they admit that sometimes they re
