Norilsk Nickel is dismantling the outdated production facilities with poor ecological characteristics of the Nickel Plant, while sending the construction waste for recycling.
According to the company's press service, about 200 buildings and structures "will find a new, more environmentally friendly life."
Norilsk Nickel employees dismantled valuable equipment and 150 buildings, removed more than 100,000 tons of scrap metal using specialized equipment, while smoke stacks are being brought down using precision blasting.
"The workers sort the construction waste that remains after dismantling, separating it into scrap metal and broken building materials, from which we will make crushed stone. We can say that smoke stacks will continue to operate in the Norilsk industrial region, but in a new capacity," the company said.
Norilsk Nickel intends to dismantle 1.4 million cubic meters of obsolete buildings and structures in 2024-2025.
