OREANDA-NEWS. Work on the foundation plates of the future S11D Plant's secondary screening unit has already concluded. Similar to a reinforced concrete slab laid directly on the subsoil, this type of structure is used to ensure uniform distribution of the weight of the buildings it supports.

The construction work, which involved laying the foundations of the three buildings responsible for the final iron ore screening process, was concluded last week. In all, the project used more than 22,000 cubic metres of concrete = enoughto build 48 statues of Christ the Redeemer.

The next stage, which has already begun, involves construction of the pillars that will support the modules. The site is expected to be ready to receive the initial structures by December.
