Northern Mining and Processing Plant (Northern GOK, Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro region), a part of Metinvest Group, invested UAH 122 million in overhaul of railway equipment and machinery in 2024.
According to the plant, a new two-section 2TE10M mainline diesel locomotive has recently been put into operation at Pivdennyi GOK after overhaul. It transports rock mass in the Pervomaisky open pit.
The locomotive was overhauled for more than three years by specialists from Daugavpol Locomotive Repair Plant. All key components and assemblies in two sections were upgraded to meet the passport parameters. The performance characteristics and service life of all equipment units have been updated, which will extend the service life of the locomotives for another six years.
The repaired locomotive was tested for rock haulage. To date, the equipment has already transported 1.1 thousand tons of ore per trip.
“Given the numerous restrictions and challenges of the war, maintaining the equipment’s performance remains one of the company’s priorities. This is especially important as business plans are expanding. The plant continues to upgrade its rolling stock to ensure the reliability and efficiency of rock transportation. The experience of cooperation between the company’s enterprises and Latvian repairmen began in 2017 and continues due to the high quality of the work performed,” explains Vladimir Nazarenko, head of the Southern GOK’s maintenance department.
Yenakiieve Mining is part of Metinvest Group, whose main shareholders are System Capital Management (SCM, Donetsk) (71.24%) and Smart Holding Group (23.76%). Metinvest Group’s management company is Metinvest Holding LLC.
