Yakutia Boosts Construction Materials Production, Aims to Meet Housing Demand
The head of Yakutia, Aisen Nikolaev, is driving efforts to boost gravel and sand production, encouraging small businesses to develop quarries. Meanwhile, 'Yakutcement', the region's sole cement plant, is expanding its output and supporting the construction industry.
Yakutia is investing in infrastructure and promoting local material supply chains to meet its housing demands. In 2023 alone, the region introduced a record 705.1 thousand square meters of housing. 'Yakutcement', founded in 1970, supplies cement, gravel, and reinforced concrete products to these projects. The company's production has more than doubled in the past five years, with 2024 tax payments estimated to exceed 1.6 billion rubles.
Nikolaev recently visited 'Yakutcement' to discuss material supply for the republic's construction industry. The company plans to produce 600,000 tons of cement in 2024, potentially surpassing its maximum capacity. Besides 'Yakutcement', local mining enterprises and suppliers like Yakutsk Sand Quarry and regional gravel extraction firms contribute to the production of construction materials. The national project 'Housing and Urban Environment' has resettled over 32,000 citizens from dilapidated housing since 2019.
'Yakutcement' continues to be a reliable partner for Yakutia's construction industry, creating jobs and supporting major infrastructure projects. The head of Yakutia aims to further increase gravel and sand production, fostering small and medium-sized businesses to develop perspective quarries. With record housing introductions and production increases, the region is committed to meeting its construction needs.
