InGOK

Industrial tourism. Quarry "InGOK.

"Everyone knows that Krivoy Rog is an "iron heart" of Ukraine. Quarries and mines are located along the city on the horizon scenic contours dumps resemble mountains, deep craters and rock outcrops are attracted by its mystery and texture - this is the beauty in the Krivoy Rog ;-)

Only now beginning to talk about the development of tourism industry in the city, and while "there" they say, I will make a series of production reports and the first in line - Quarry "InGOK." The quarry is part of PJSC "Inguletsky Mining" and is one of the most powerful and deep pits in the CIS. Pit depth is 426 m Performance of ore - 38 million tons / year.

03. The color of the rock you can see how diverse geology career "InGOK":

04. The company uses cyclic-flow technology of ore with auto-conveyor transport. The upper horizons of stripping practiced with w / d trasnporta.

05. You probably still think that mine - it's just a huge pit. In fact, the quarry - this excavation, which has a complex system of interaction between excavation and loading (excavators) and transport (trucks, conveyors) equipment.

06. Available to explain the principle of extraction of iron ore by open way by doing the following: produced an explosion of the rock mass (loosening), the loading of the rock in the dump (excavation) and transportation to your destination.

07. Mining equipment in a quarry drilling rigs is SBSH-250 dump trucks BelAZ carrying capacity 110-180 tons excavators of "shovel": ECG-8-10 ECG, EKG-12, 5, Hitachi and other accessories.

08. Delivery of ore in the quarry by dump trucks to the crushing and transfer points (DPP), where through a crusher crushed and transported via underground conveyor path to the surface.

09. Crushing and transfer points (DPP) at depths of 180 m and minus minus 240 m:

10. Delivery of overburden dumps in by means of career w / d of transport. The combine such a composition called "carousel" because of tipping when unloading the car body (dump cars).

11. Overburden from the lower horizons are delivered by trucks to special transfer points, where the rock overload on w / e trucks using an excavator and transported to dumps.

12. The quarries, there are many safety measures. One of them is the dumping of the safety shaft height 1-1.5 m

13. Left relief shaft of rock rock:

14. To prevent flooding bottom of the quarry arrange drip pan (sump), equipped with powerful pumps for pumping rainwater and groundwater.

15. One of the major challenges in his career - dust vnutrikarernogo space. Therefore, the procedure is mandatory watering roads with a special solution on the basis of water and chemicals.

16. In a career, there are two types of roads: technological and economic. Provides technical road transport link between the horizons of career and daytime surface, the economic road is to serve the mining objects on the horizon. Guess which is which? ;-)

17. Quarry "InGOK" makes an unforgettable impression: a powerful architectural structure. According to geologists Inhulets iron ore deposits of over 1 billion tonnes, which ensures stable operation of the plant until 2050. You might also consider expanding the boundaries of career and then increase volumes of ore will run the company until 2100. Well, it is not soon ;-)

18. I advise you to visit the quarry. As far as I know, Metinvest regularly arranges tours to the public.

That's all. Thank you all. I hope you enjoyed this virtual tour of the career. Write ;-)
