The first 100 thousand cubic meters of peat were extracted by subsidiaries of the rpc Group of Companies this season! The workforce of the mining divisions of the rpc Group of Companies (Torfoprom and Ecoprom) has crossed the first milestone of this year – 100,000 cubic meters of peat were extracted at both production sites. This is almost double the figures from last year to date.
“Of course, this is a significant figure, but only a part of the planned production volume for this season,” noted Sergei Ovchinnikov, General Director of Ecoprom LLC (the contribution of this subsidiary in the formation of this figure was key).
“The duration of peat extraction,” he continued, is quite difficult to predict due to the unpredictability of weather conditions. High humidity and prolonged rains block the possibility of extracting milled peat. Today’s results were made possible thanks to competent work planning, experience and professionalism of employees who use every opportunity to enter the prepared fields as soon as weather conditions allow.
It should also be noted that in recent years there has been a significant technical re-equipment of the mining enterprises of the rpc Group of Companies, which makes it possible to more intensively organize the production of products.
Before the collection stage, it is fundamentally important to go through the very labor-intensive stage of “winter” preparation (draining, digging canals, laying drains, uprooting stumps, removing tow, etc.) in order to get maximum production in the summer. Despite the difficulties of winter work, the team coped with them and now we are ready to collect record volumes of peat.
Success is due to high-quality training, proper strategic planning and experience of the employees of the rpc Group of Companies. Despite the vagaries of the weather, we will not stop at this figure and will continue to work to new record levels!
