ALD Engineering and Construction has completed the second stage of a large-scale project to reconstruct the recirculating water supply system at PJSC KAMET-STEEL.
In the final stage, two lines of industrial pipeline (DN300) with a total length of 1,600 meters were upgraded to serve the lime-burning shop. The total cost of the work, which included the supply of materials and equipment, construction, installation, and commissioning, amounted to UAH 32 million.
Completion of work in this area was the final step in modernizing the recirculating water supply system for the key production facilities of PJSC KAMET-STEEL. Taking into account the previous stage, where DN800 mains were laid, the total length of the renovated networks exceeded 2.7 km. This set of solutions has provided the plant with stable pressure and a reliable water supply for technological needs, while minimizing resource losses and maintenance costs.
"Reconstruction of trunk lines at an active industrial site is always a test of precision. We had to integrate new networks into a continuous production cycle without stopping it for a single minute. This project is another proof that Ukrainian industry is capable of high-quality renewal and becoming more efficient even in difficult wartime," said Oleksiy Lebedev, founder of ALD Engineering and Construction.
As part of the modernization, worn-out underground utilities were replaced with new above-ground water conduits, which significantly simplified further maintenance and increased system reliability. Before the launch, a full range of commissioning works was carried out: hydraulic tests under operating pressure, connection tightness checks, and system flushing.
The project, implemented by ALD Engineering and Construction as part of the PJSC KAMET-STEEL investment modernization program for 2024–2025, has become an important stage in upgrading engineering networks and improving the enterprise's energy efficiency.
