UrBC, Yekaterinburg, September 13, 2017. EVRAZ ZSMK’s Zapadno-Sibirskaya Thermal Power Station’s team won the All-Russian Cross-Connection Power Station Workers’ Contest, EVRAZ Holding Siberia’s Corporate Relations Center reports.

EVRAZ power engineers came second in the team contest, while the station’s Thermal Units & Measuring Equipment Repair Department’s Senior Engineer Vladislav Kotvitsky proved the Best Engineer.

‘Six teams from Russia’s leading power enterprises took part in the contest. They had four days to complete seven competition stages, that is, to prove their knowledge of normative documentation and job safety and industrial safety requirements and to do some practical tasks. The contestants had to put out a fire in a voltage-carrying electric plant, give first aid to electric shock victims, and perform all the basic technological operations (boiler start-up, turbine unit launch, emergency localization, and putting equipment back to standard mode) on a computer simulator. EVRAZ power engineers proved highly professional, which is especially important at the time of preparations for the upcoming fall/winter season,’ the Center says.

Zapadno-Sibirskaya Thermal Power Station provides heat and power supply to Novokuznetsk’s Zavodskoy and Novoilyinsky Districts and to EVRAZ ZSMK’s construction longs production facility.
