Occupational safety and public health are of paramount importance to NIBULON. Therefore, in connection with the spread of COVID-19 in Ukraine and throughout the world, NIBULON and its building contractors immediately developed and implemented a system of measures aimed at preventing the spread of coronavirus disease and ensuring the safety of each employee. We organized our activities in compliance with all the quarantine restrictions. Therefore, we safeguarded the team whilst working in the usual way, developing Ukrainian economy. The company continues constructing its new river transshipment terminal in Marianske (Apostolove district, Dnipropetrovsk region). It is important that working in compliance with all quarantine restrictions, all work goes according to plan. We are grateful to our employees and partners for their responsible approach and proficiency. TSKS-Stal Ltd (owner – Viktor Panasiuk) has finished installing the metal structures for a truck-tipper. The first grain unloading device from Kalynivskyi Machine Building Plant (director – Anatolii Ostapenko) is being installed there. The framework of the transshipment terminal’s elevator tower has reached a height of 29 m (out of 48 m).  Montazhspetskonstuktsiia Ltd (director – Vadym Bereza) completes forming structures of galleries over granaries (with a capacity of 5.5 thousand tons each) and dryers. The contractors are building waste hoppers and an overhead cable tray routing system. The builders have already mounted 6 modern silos (4 of 2.3 thousand tons, 2 of 5.5 thousand tons) from NIBULON’s reliable partner AGI (Canada) at Zelenodolska branch.  Unfortunately, in connection with the coronavirus pandemic, the Italian subsidiary AGI EMEA S.R.L. delayed sending another batch of materials (which should have been received by March 31 under the contract terms). Therefore, the contractors will start mounting the remaining 10 silos in mid-May, when the materials arrive at the construction site. We are fine about that and we are grateful to the partner for manufacturing the products in extremely difficult conditions. It transports them by sea to speed up the process and to avoid additional delays when crossing borders. Tukuryi Ltd specialists (director – Anatolii Korshmaniuk) are efficiently constructing a 150-m cargo berth. They have finished driving sheet piles and have started forming a wharf’s foundation.According to Deputy General Director of Construction Serhii Besedin, the builders have already driven 3,311 piles (total height of about 56 km). There will be also used about 15 thousand m3 of concrete and more than 5 thousand tons of metalware. Recently, the specialists have started installing high-capacity technological equipment, namely two grain dryers from Mathews Company (the USA), hopper scales from PRECIA S.A. (France), elevators, chain and belt conveyors from Cimbria Unigrain A/S (Denmark). Last week, the builders started laying cables to the main construction units, as well as installing the foundations for lighting poles. The contractors have already performed 50 % of the works to lay the internal water supply and sewage network. PKK No. 132 PJSC specialists (director – Roman Rybalko) have constructed the weighing station. Bulat Ltd (director – Valentyn Yavorskyi) is installing the truck scales. The contractors have already built a transformer station, so the equipment is being installed there. A two-storied administrative and laboratory building as well as a canteen are being prepared for roofing.The first landscaping works have been already started. The builders will soon start repairing an access road. They will be laying good quality reinforced concrete road slabs (388 pcs.), which are capable of withstanding significant loads and are resistant to climate change. This road is universal and durable and can be repaired quickly, if necessary. In June, the modern transshipment terminal of Zelenodolska branch will receive its first batch of grain, thereby launching positive developments in the region. When the branch is put into operation, the local community will receive new jobs, a socially responsible investor and stable revenues due to taxes paid. Farms will be able to further develop at the expense of funds saved on grain transportation and build up agricultural potential. Another 12.5 thousand trucks will be removed from Ukrainian roads. NIBULON has transported about 17 million tons of cargoes by inland waterways during its investment project implementation, thereby having removed more than 708 thousand trucks from Ukraine’s roads.
