Students visited Mining and Processing Plant
Last week, students of the Mechanical Equipment Department visited the Lebedinsky Mining and Processing Plant. The excursion to the GOK was organized by the Center for International Education and Cooperation of BSTU named after V. G. Shukhov and the Department of Mechanical Equipment for students enrolled in the English program. The students of the 2nd and 3rd courses attended the tour, in total 38 people. Before the excursion, the children were told about the production and enrichment of iron ore in production. The tour began with a visit to the observation deck of the world's largest iron ore quarry. The guys were told that the pit’s diameter is more than 5 km, and the depth is about 450 meters. In the same place, the students were shown samples of the finished product - iron ore concentrate, pellets and briquettes.
After visiting the observation deck, the guys were taken to the motor transport administration. There they were shown the mining equipment and one of the largest machines in the production - the dump truck BelAZ 75309, with a carrying capacity of 220 tons.
Foreign students remembered a fascinating tour.
