Группа «Сумма» запускает производство асфальтобетона в Дагестане

Summa Group is beginning a new investment project in Dagestan and plans to invest approximately 700 million rubles in the road construction industry there. The first phase of the project was the construction of a plant to produce asphalt concrete in the suburbs of Makhachkala, which began operating on Oct. 3. It has the capacity of 160 tons of asphalt concrete per hour and is the largest plant of this kind in the Republic. A bitumen storage tanks with the capacity of 2,000 tons are being installed adjacent to it, and a new road-construction equipment has been purchased.

 

Summa Group is planning to build two similar businesses in the northern and southern parts of Dagestan. These plants will also have their own bitumen storage tanks and stockpiles of specialized road equipment.

 

Summa Group already has experience in the infrastructure-construction market in Dagestan. In 2012, Mostootryad-99, which is part of the group's engineering division, put the Gimrinsky highway tunnel into operation. This is the longest tunnel in Russia and the CIS, stretching for 4,285 meters. It is also the shortest route that links eight mountainous districts in Dagestan with both the railway and the center of the republic and is open even in poor weather conditions.

 

Road construction as a whole is a high-priority area for Summa Group's engineering division. A project is currently underway to prepare for the construction of the Central Ring Road in the Moscow region, plus a section of the M-29 Caucasus highway and M-8 Kholmogory highway is being renovated, and a traffic interchange on a section of the Sukhumiyskoe highway in Novorossiysk is being built.
