The areaway for the headhouse is completed, foundation for two silos has been laid, and the specialists will start mounting metalware. The contracting organisations start bringing metalware to the terminal.

In total, more than 150 persons from more than 10 contracting organisations are involved in the construction process of the complex. However, the number of builders, as well as working area, grows each day. As a result, about 500 persons will be provided with work.
