We Can Do Everything!

In spring of 2019 MACHINE ENGINEERING PLANT LLP proceeded to the installation of engineering networks for Ulba-FA LLP.

Establishment of the «Ulba-FA LLP project. Production of fuel assemblies with a capacity of 200 tons per year» became one of the stages of the «National Action Plan for the Implementation of the Address of the Head of State to the People of Kazakhstan dated January 17, 2014 «Kazakhstan's Way-2050: Common Purpose, Common Interests, Common Future».

The project was carried out within the framework of previously executed contracts. According to those contracts, MACHINE ENGINEERING PLANT LLP (hereinafter – LLP) was faced with a difficult task as to carry out a set of works on the construction of external power networks, external and internal communication networks, heating, lighting, ventilation and air conditioning, fire and alarm systems, and radiation monitoring systems. Moreover, all that had to be connected with the most complex automatic control system! Arrangement and adjustment of the latter were also the tasks of the LLP.

The terms of the project were very tight, so the work was carried out under very dynamic and sometimes stressful conditions. To complete the tasks as quickly as possible, it was necessary to involve all the LLP employees and a lot of subcontracted specialists. Despite the difficulties, the LLP's management managed to assemble a strong team, clearly set goals, outline prospects and ensure a high level of motivation. Thanks to this approach, the LLP achieved the planned result even in adverse conditions.

High level of organization and flexibility in solving diverse tasks in a short time was shown by the Deputy Senior Engineer for the main production Igor Apenkin, Senior Power Engineer Bolat Kudaskin, the Head of the construction site Viktor Samokayev, the Foreman Sergey Orlov, the Head of the power lines installation Vitaly Metlyakov, the Engineer for commissioning and testing Ilya Chemarev and Process Engineer for the power equipment and lines installation Olga Yudina.

It is impossible not to mention other highly professional specialists who showed diligence and endurance every day, and most importantly demonstrated excellent results. Among them Vladimir Krechetov, Maxim Sevastyanov, Vladimir Vasiliev, Anatoly Baranov, Andrey Osmushin, Evgeny Kaluzhin, Evgeny Zinoviev, Elena Alexandrova, Alena Loginova, Nikolai Chernov, Erbol Toktarov, Galina Ossipova, Irina Graf, Natalia Lazareva, and Tatiana Slabodyan. However, the project for the LLP is so large-scale that it is simply impossible to list all the employees who made an invaluable contribution to the common cause. There are eminent specialists among cost estimating engineers, technologists and designers, employees of the production and dispatch bureau, the procurement department and the quality control department, accountants and economists, and many more professionals.

We would like to note the responsiveness and benevolence of the employees and heads of the Physical Protection and Security Department, the security team and the Information Protection Department of the UMP JSC when providing access to the site for third-party specialists to complete a common task. Highly qualified specialists of the project developer – Ulba Design Institute also played a key role in the prompt resolution of many issues. The management and employees of Ulba-FA LLP also provided quick access, prompt assistance and interaction throughout the construction with special enthusiasm.

To date, the construction of the facility has been completed. The Commissioning Certificate was signed. For the LLP this is another achievement and contribution to a large collection of experience. We wish the employees and managers of Ulba-FA LLP a successful launch of the enterprise to its design capacity, well-being, profitable contracts and prosperity! And of course, long-term mutually beneficial cooperation with the LLP!
