Sleepers production plants, which are part of the structure of JSC Ukrzaliznytsia, will increase production volumes in 2022.

UZ sleeper factories

Alexander Kamyshin, the head of the board of the company, wrote about this in his Telegram channel, reports the railway magazine Railway Supply.

“Today I traveled around 3 sleeper plants that are part of the structure of UZ – Korostensky, Starokonstantinovsky and Gnivansky. All 3 plants barely worked last year.

But this year they are already working at full capacity,” the head of the company said. Regarding the enterprise in Korosten, Alexander Kamyshin said that almost the entire last year the plant stood idle.

UZ signed a contract for the supply of 20 thousand tons of diesel fuel

“This week the plant resumed work. On Monday they rolled the line, yesterday they made the first batch of sleepers. In 2021, the plant produced only 90,000 sleepers. The goal for February-March 2022 is 100,000 sleepers. And for the whole of 2022, 700 thousand sleepers should be made. We hire people, go to the second shift,” he wrote.

At the same time, the Starokonstantinovsky plant, which, in addition to sleepers, produces complex reinforced concrete slabs and structures, produced products worth UAH 80 million last year.

“The goal this year is to double the result. Last year, the plant produced only 86,000 sleepers. The same should be for January-February of this year. The plan for the year is 700,000 sleepers,” stressed the chairman of the board.
