History :: Reports :: Testimonials :: Newsletters About company OJSC "Yamaltransstroy" was established in 1992 on the basis of the Production and Construction Assembly Association for the construction of railways in Yamal. By order of the Ministry of Transport Construction of the USSR in 1986, the Yamaltransstroy Association began to lay the Obskaya-Bovanenkovo railway in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug - 509 km. on permafrost. Due to the special geological, natural and climatic conditions, the project has no analogues in the practice of world railway construction. The railway construction option takes into account the difficult passability due to snow drifts for other land modes of transport, as well as the difficult geographical conditions of the Yamal Peninsula: the complexity of its relief, the abundance of reservoirs. The subgrade is laid over the permafrost from silty soils, which are a frozen swamp. Filling with frozen soil is carried out only in winter. Today, together with scientific institutes, a new concept of protection of the track bed from melting has been developed. For this, snow-resistant longitudinal and transverse profiles are used with the device of thermal shock absorbers made of foam. In connection with the decision of Gazprom in October 2006 to resume the development of the Bovanenkovskoye gas condensate field, Yamaltransstroy OJSC stepped up work on the construction of the Obskaya-Bovanenkovo railway line. An examination of the constructed road was carried out, the crossings were modernized, the construction of the linear part, bridges, communications, communication facilities continues. Design and survey work is nearing completion to the Bovanenkovo terminal station. In parallel, along the road under construction, historical, archaeological, ethnographic monuments were identified for the most correct design of the route, preserving the environment of the peninsula and the culture of the local population. The construction of the unique, the longest in Russia, 4-kilometer bridge over the Yuribey river floodplain has begun. In 2006, freight traffic was organized on a section of 267 kilometers, equipment and construction materials were delivered to the Khralov junction, and from there by road, air cushion ships to the fields. At present, the Yamaltransstroy company is ready for the annual transportation of more than one million tons of cargo required for the development of the Yamal Peninsula and the construction of new gas pipelines connecting promising industrial regions of Russia with the main gas system of Gazprom. The road already performs, in addition to production, the most important social functions: for the indigenous population, they deliver goods to remote trading posts, transport the children of tundra residents to boarding schools. The multi-profile construction company Yamaltransstroy OJSC is the general contractor of Gazprom for the construction and operation of the railway to the Yamal Peninsula. The company has a powerful production base: more than 500 units of construction and automotive equipment, mainly imported; base for repair and maintenance, terminals for warehousing and processing of goods; about 300 units of rolling stock. In addition to production facilities, the team conducts industrial and civil construction in Salekhard and in the north-west of the district, builds capital houses in the town of Labytnangi, equips the national villages of Shuryshkarsky, Priuralsky and Yamal districts. "Yamaltransstroy" carries out repairs and installation of road surfaces, provides transportation of goods. The special pride of our team is the Salekhard-Airport highway, popularly referred to as the "Governor's Road". Today the company employs about 4,000 people. Expanding the scope of production activities, the management retains the workforce, and the enterprise becomes one of the most multifunctional and diversified production associations in Western Siberia. The head office of OJSC Yamaltransstroy is located in the town of Labytnangi, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, production bases, a locomotive and carriage depot at the Obskaya station, 10 km from the city. A huge mechanism is twisted that cannot be stopped. Russia is adopting a new Energy Strategy for the period up to 2030, where the main source of ensuring the necessary increase in hydrocarbon production will be the fields on the Yamal Peninsula. Design institutes are working, whole factories are being erected for the production of new equipment. The Obskaya-Bovanenkovo highway is an important object of the strategic direction of the economic policy of our state, an environmentally friendly transport artery for the year-round delivery of people and goods to gas fields. Its construction will be included in the biography of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the history of the country as a special chapter.
