In Mining basin “Kolubara”, the overhauls of production systems are in progress in the open pit mines. Regular annual overhauls are main precondition for continuity maintenance of coal and overburden production in Kolubara.
In the Open pit mine “Field D”, the regular annual investment repair of the First A ECS system is being completed. The rehabilitation of all equipment parts has been completed. The overhaul activities of the “spreader” were finished yesterday, while the works on the bucket wheel excavator have been completed today. In the biggest OPM of “Kolubara”, the investment repair of the system for coal excavation (ECSc) has started these days, and it will last until May 10, according to the schedule.
