New production lines

SCMF’s monthly output of reinforced concrete
currently stands at one and a half thousand cubic
meters. To meet the ever increasing demand for con-
crete products, the company is increasing its capac-
ity and has embarked on the construction of yet an-
other workshop. Its new production line will have the
daily capacity of 900 square meters of floor slabs and
15 precast monolithic slabs. The design capacity of
its universal testing rig is 150 square meters per shift.
The heads of Severodvinsk Construction Materi-
als Factory say:
“Our modernization plan includes both the start
of new facilities and upgrading of the existing ones.
Once completed, the new facilities will enable us to
supply high-quality building materials to customers
in Severodvinsk and other cities. Also, they will make
us able to come up with all-in-one offer: Fully prefab-
ricated housing. All parts of a three-section apart-
ment building, from piles to roof, can be fabricated
in under a month. These prefabs might sound a good
solution to public or low-cost housing projects.”
SCMF’s output expansion expenditures total ap-
proximately RUB 300 million.

Arctic region

Since last year, the company is a tax resident of
the Arctic Zone and as such is eligible for the sup-
port from regional and federal budgets, with implies
a stronger market position. SCMF’s priority tasks
are aligned with those guiding Russia’s development
strategies for the Arctic Zone and the Northern Sea
Route. The company is actively working to ensure the
trouble-free supply of concrete products to the port
development projects. Its preparedness to tackle non-
standard tasks requiring unconventional solutions is
what sets SCMF apart from the competition. Its team
have the required qualifications and many years of ex-
perience: SCMF engineers and the management par-
ticipated in the design development and construction
of the temporary berths in the port of Sabetta.

Infrastructure
SCMF owns a fleet of vehicles for the delivery
of products, a sand pit near the Solza River, a test-
ing laboratory, and a machine-tool fleet. Its premises
are approached by three rail sidings. There is a gan-
try crane for loading/unloading of rail cars, finished
products storage area, inert aggregate warehouse,
concrete mixing unit, maintenance and repair shop,
reinforcement assembly shop, compressor facility and
molding shop.
The company’s plan to upgrade its facilities and
increase automation will lead to higher productivity
and better cost-efficiency. This means that the price
range will remain competitive.
