#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. At the Nornickel Polar Transport Branch (PTB), a new laundry service has been launched – it is located in a mobile building and can operate autonomously, even when the water supply is turned off. For this purpose, a 100-liter water heater and two water tanks with a capacity of 750 liters are installed in the room. The project was implemented under the Made with Care program.
“We can serve eight to ten workers at the same time, and that’s 100 kilograms of laundry. Washing and drying one set of work clothes takes about three hours”, says laundry worker Tamara Hritankova.
Any PTB employee can wash and dry work clothes in a mobile laundry. At the enterprise, storekeepers collect clothes for washing directly at the workplaces.
All technical equipment in the laundry is new. These are two LG washing machines with a maximum load of up to 15 kilograms, two Vyazma washing machines with a load of up to 25 kilograms, a household washing and drying machine, two drying cabinets and ironing equipment.
