Under the terms of the contract, the plant will supply 6,700,000 kg LDPs to Kurganstalmost (the manufacturer of metal frames for the stadium) in January and February. A shipment will comprise a variety of LDPs (diameter range 530mm to 1,220mm, wall width 12mm to 40mm) made of K60 steel. To meet this order, customized performance specifications were elaborated by ChTPZ Group in cooperation with V.A. Kucherenko Central Scientific Research Institute for Building Structures.
