SIEMAG TECBERG and a subsidiary of EuroChem signed an agreement to deliver a shaft lifting system at the Usolskiy potash plant in Perm, Russia.

The complex was built around Verkhnekamskoe, which is one of the largest potash deposits in the world.

An expansion phase of the Usolskiy complex includes the construction of a third production well (Usolskiy 3 well) with a depth of 511.7 m and further processing systems.

This agreement requires Siemag Tebao to undertake the design, production, delivery, assembly and commissioning supervision of the following equipment:

In the recently expanded TECBERG campus, SIEMAG TECBERG is carrying out all the necessary work to ensure efficient on-site assembly/installation and final commissioning. It said that this includes the complete functional assembly/installation of the equipment, as well as extensive system testing on the drive test bench and pre-commissioning of all pre-sets.

SIEMAG TECBERG's "CIS logistics and certification capabilities" also help customers achieve the fastest and trouble-free equipment registration and transfer to their capital equipment inventory under official supervision.

After the system commissioning is completed, Usolskiy's team will obtain the necessary spare parts support on site, and the delivered equipment will be maintained by qualified Siemagtebao personnel from the local service branch and storage facility of Rezniki in Perm.
