Tashkent Pipe Plant to begin rolled sheet stock production till 2017
The Tashkent Pipe Plant joint venture LLC intends to begin the
rolled sheet stock production for the next two years with a
capacity of 150,000 metric tons per year annually,
Uzmontajspecstroy joint-stock company, including the pipe plant,
told Trend with the reference to the plant's development
program.
The project cost is $79.6 million, a representative of the
joint-stock company said.
The enterprise intends to begin the construction in late 2015.
The enterprise’s development program also envisages the
construction of welding electrode production with a capacity of
2,000 metric tons per year worth $4.4 million.
By the end of 2015, Tashkent Pipe Plant plans to complete the
project on creation of profiled hot-rolled steel production of
rolled metal products (rod and bar with diameter from 6.5 to 12
millimeters and from 12 to 45 millimeters, respectively) with
design capacity of 30,000 metric tons per year and the value of
$39.7 million, the production of strip and wire galvanizing with
capacity of 3,000 metric tons and screws with capacity of 1,000
metric tons per year, having spent for these purposes $3.88 million
and $4.44 million, respectively.
It is planned to carry out all the projects at the own expense of
the joint venture.
The plant commissioned a metal-rolling complex in 2014 with the
annual capacity of 130,000 metric tons of steel bar and rolled wire
of various gage and with the diameter of 6-45 millimeters. Earlier,
Uzbekistan was importing these products. The cost of the project
was $30 million.
The length of the installed rolling mill is almost one kilometer
and in terms of the certain technical and economic parameters and
engineering solution it has no analogues in Central Asia, or in CIS
countries.
The project is financed with the funds of the co-founders of the
enterprise.
Moreover, as part of the program for expanding the production, the
enterprise started the production of longitudinally welded pipes
(89-219 millimeters) and profiled pipes (270-700 millimeters) with
the total capacity of 55,000 metric tons per year, as well as steel
pipes with polyolefin covering with the capacity of 8,000 metric
tons per year.
Tashkent Pipe Plant JV, commissioned in 1999, is the largest
enterprise for production of pipe products in Uzbekistan.
It produces steel thin-walled water and gas pipes, steel pipes of a
diameter of 159 mm to 377 mm for main oil and gas pipelines,
corrugated sheets and corrugated roofing slates from galvanized
steel, and piping attachments.
The list of the main founders of the Tashkent Pipe Plant JV
includes the US Capital Industrial Supply (62.4 percent share), the
Russian company Onest-D (20 percent share) and China’s Xinjiang
Jinboer Industry & Trade Co. (17.2 percent share).
