Mechel, one of the leading Russian mining and steel groups, has announced that it has supplied a batch of R65 rails produced by Chelyabinsk Metallurgical Plant for expanding the carrying capacity of its 321-kilometer Ulak-Elga railway which provides railway access to its Elga coking coal deposit in Yakutia in eastern Siberia.
The supplied rails will enable the company to lay 25 kilometers of service tracks for Elga Coal Complex.
These rails were produced using Elga's coking coal concentrate in the coke and chemical process.
