VSMPO-Avisma to spend almost 1 bln roubles on capital repairs

​In 2015 VSMPO-Avisma will spend 978 mln roubles for the capital repair of equipment. In total over 450 units will be renewed.

According to the director for technical issues and repair of VSMPO-Avisma, Y. Semichev, repair works always require serious efforts and often the period of execution are postponed. Foreign currency rising in price makes its corrections. In fact the funds planned for equipment in the autumn 2014 are being changed. It takes time to approve new contracts.

The works on the equipment renewal at the enterprise are being held. The large-scale works are held at the shop #12. New heating furnaces, and 12 boring-and –turning mills produced in Czech are being installed there. Similar equipment renewal is held at the forge complex of the shop #21. The shop #16 will soon receive modern HAGC.

Large lots of equipment supply are expected for the new compressor station. All aggregates have been paid for and are on the way. Their assembly is planned for October 2015.
