President of Tatarstan: Reducing construction costs should not affect the quality of work
Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov took part in a round table meeting "Expanding the use of republican petrochemical products in the construction industry", which was held within the framework of the Tatarstan Oil and Gas Chemical Forum at Kazan Expo. The Minister of Energy of Kazakhstan Nurlan Nogayev also took part in the work. The participants discussed the expansion of the use of republican petrochemical products in the construction industry.
First Deputy Minister of Construction, Architecture, Housing and Communal Services of the Republic of Tatarstan Aleksey Frolov noted that high rates of construction should be ensured by the corresponding growth of the building materials industry, and Tatarstan manufacturers are ready for such large-scale tasks. Following the results of the past year, 7 new enterprises were opened. This year, a plant for the production of chemical additives in concrete, Polyplast LLC, was commissioned. By the end of the year, it is planned to commission 4 more new production facilities, as well as to complete the modernization of the production complex of OOO "Kamenergostroyprom" in Nizhnekamsk. Alexey Frolov said that since 2010, more than 60 chemical and petrochemical plants have been commissioned in Tatarstan, focused on the production of construction products or raw materials for the production of innovative building materials and products. “The introduction of new materials is a difficult path, and it is not always possible for manufacturers to go through it on their own. In this regard, joint efforts of sectoral ministries, manufacturers of construction chemicals and scientists are needed in pursuing a more active policy in promoting progressive materials,” - added the first deputy head of the Ministry of Construction of the Republic of Tatarstan. Further, the participants of the meeting were presented with a number of innovative technologies in the field of production of building materials.
