Chemical weapons destruction complex

In 2003 Stroytransgaz, via subsidiary Stroytransgaz-M, won a tender to construct the Russian Complex for Destruction of Chemical Weapons in Schuche, Kurgansk Oblast. The project is part of an agreement between the United States and Russia for the safe storage, transportation, and destruction of weapons of mass annihilation and for non­proliferation of such weapons. There are two principals in the project—the Federal Administration for Safe Storage and Destruction of Chemical Weapons (Russia) and Parsons Global Services, Inc. (United States).

Work within the project includes constructing a bituminous grouting building, a gas safety station, a pumping station for fire extinction, a gas distribution point, a boiler room, waste treatment facilities for discharged water, pumping station for rain water, development of the site for storage of waste products, and construction of a general technological network and a water-supply overpass. Objects of social infrastructure are also included in the contract: seven residential buildings, a culture and sports complex, a boiler room, a transformer substation, an engineering network, and a dining facility seating 500 persons.

The project is under way.
