OREANDA-NEWS. January 04, 2011. The 24th of September, 2010 has become a pleasant date for Kremenchuk of Poltava region. The community of the town joined the cohort of participants of the investment project, which is implemented by “NIBULON”, reviving navigation along the Dnipro, the Southern Bug River and other waterways of Ukraine.

In September 2010 “NIBULON” started the construction of the transshipment terminal in Kremenchuk that became the seventh operating elevator complex in Poltava region and the eighth facility on the whole, which was constructed within the framework of the investment project.

The company once again confirmed its reputation: to construct modern high-tech elevators during no longer than 3 months.

It took exactly three months for builders from all over Ukraine (which is more than 50 contractors) to “raise” the transshipment terminal. Day after day elevator tower was constructed, day after day gas welders burnt welding flame... Neither weather conditions, nor approaching holidays were not an obstacle and did not wreck schedule of work.

As a result - a new modern high-tech facility jointed the “elevator family” of the company. The transshipment terminal is situated on the area of 5.5 hectares. 80 workers ensure successful work of the branch. Grain storage capacity at the complex is more than 75 thousand tons. Loading capacity on water and railway transport compiles 5 thousand tons respectively. Design of the facility, including landscaping design is its business card; the most modern administrative, laboratory and household bulkis located onsite the facility, there is a cafe for the needs of employees and guests.

The terminal as well as other complexes of the company is a true sight of the town, we believe that it will become the facility for excursions and visits of Kremenchuk citizens and town guests.

As of today, the construction of the terminal is fully completed. Currently commissioning works and out-of-gear equipment testing is being continued. Works on landscaping, gardening are being conducted onsite the branch territory, works on ensuring sanitary conditions are being conducted in the building. Measures on occupational safety arrangement are not stopped. Dredging works are being continued near the berth of the terminal – in order to make possible the first passage of “NIBULON’s” non-self-propelled vessel to the terminal for loading, it is planned to sluice more than 40 thousand cubic meters of soil.

On the eve ofwinter holidays the whole friendly team of the branch (builders and workers of the complex) gathered together near the snow-covered winter beauty - festive beautifully decorated Christmas tree to thank each other for the faithful work, to wish good luck and make the most cherished wish for 2011.

An important moment of the day was the signing (by state regulatory authorities, heads of all contractors and representatives of “NIBULON”) of the act of readiness of the construction completion - it confirmed the construction completion and readiness of the terminal to normal operation.
