The subject of performance was the delivery of selected parts of technological equipment including steel structures, modifications of equipment and constructions for transport of required materials from the agglomeration North to the agglomeration South. All equipment required for connection to the existing transport routes on the agglomeration South and agglomeration North and its operation was included in the delivery.
The extensive delivery included roughly 320 t of steel structures and 200 t of technology. Belt conveyors for conveying a homogenizing mixture, namely two belt conveyors with a length of 594 m and 440 m, both 1200 mm wide and one reverse conveyor were included. The iron agglomerate is one of the main batch components to blast furnaces.
The project has been prepared and implemented in a very short time. Since the signing of the contract with the contractor of the entire project in November 2017, the project documentation and the implementation documentation were elaborated and the production and delivery of conveyors and steel structures and the project was completed in July 2018.
This is an exceptionally technologically demanding transport system. Due to the heavy construction of the transport routes and their difficult location in the existing facilities, more than half of the transport lines were led by air on bridges with rail transport, including junctions. For bridging the rail junction, a bridge with an inserted field with a span of over 39 m was used.
Due to the necessity to maintain the full traffic capacity of the road under the conveyor track and the existing technology it was necessary to use the portal posts and to build the construction over the existing transport route.
The transport route was completed by a complex steel structure of the spill station, where the problem of bridging the existing transport route with the transfer of materials to 3 continuous conveyors was solved.
