Nature of works

The following sub-sites have been implemented on the territory of the plant:

  • Extension of warehouse #1 and warehouse #2 to the V and VI furnaces.
  • Change of purpose of warehouse #2 to become part of the extended and modernized 5th furnace.
  • Cogeneration system for the production of electricity and heat.
  • Reconstruction with modernization of an existing industrial building - workshop #1 and new furnace #3.
Technical characteristics

The site is located on an area of 229,194 square meters.

Areas for external storage of finished products are planned for the existing halls of the fifth and sixth furnaces.

The development covers the area of the open storage site and is an addition to warehouse #1 and warehouse #2 for finished products.

The building has two floors.

The structural system of the building is a reinforced concrete frame, represented by bearing plates, beams, and columns.

The built-up area of warehouse #1 is 1,544 sq. m., and the total built-up area is 3,060 sq. m.

The built-up area of warehouse #2 is 1,941 sq. m., and the total built-up area is 3,890 sq. m.

With the implementation of this project to change the purpose of warehouse #2, the warehouse area becomes production.

The production lines, the repair and mechanical workshop, and the expedition department of the plant are being developed.

The built-up area of warehouse #2 is 5,574 sq. m.

The project for a cogeneration system for the production of electricity and heat aims at the installation of a new energy production facility.

New foundations for the installation of an electric generator and rooms in an existing prefabricated reinforced concrete hall have been completed.

An additional two-story steel structure with additional rooms is being built in the existing hall.

The fourth subsite includes both a new building for furnace #3 and reconstruction with modernization of an existing industrial building on the territory of the plant.

The construction of the building is a combination of precast reinforced concrete with steel roof trusses and reinforcing elements, and monolithic reinforced concrete.

The main beams are pre-stressed and produced in the base of Glavbolgarstroy in Samokov.
