Turkish Coalmine Lifting System Project
In August 2004, CITIC Construction and TTK signed an EPC general contract for two coalmine lifting system projects (i.e., Turkey Karadon Coalmine Newly-built Auxiliary Shaft Lifting System Project and Kuzilu Coalmine No.1 Shaft Lifting System Project). CITIC Construction was responsible for the design, equipments procurement, installation, commissioning and civil construction of the hoist room and the shaft house. CITIC Heavy Machinery Inc. supplied core equipments for the project. The Coalmine Lifting System Project in Turkey is the first project of its kind ever built by a Chinese company in Turkey's coalmine industry as a general contractor for design, sourcing, and construction. It was also a successful effort as a result of the close cooperation between CITIC Group's subordinate enterprises and the exertion of the group's strong points to open up the international market. So far, the completion acceptance for both projects has concluded ahead of schedule and both projects are running well.
