A4. Project Description:
The realization of the project is planned to be executed in the form of a foreign enterprise creation with its further registration as a FEZ resident. There are vacant production premises (1 550 sq.m) available with the necessary infrastructure and engineer networks. When the equipment is in full project operation the production annual volume of metal-polymer tubes of various diameter (MP-16, MP-20, MP-25, MP-32) will total to 10 372 km.
This production is an import substituting one and will be claimed at both the domestic and foreign markets.
A4a. Project cost (mln USD):
2.605
A5. Background / history / overall program / related or similar projects:
Metal-polymer tubes production is absent in the republic. There is a fast growing demand for this type of products at the Russian and Belarussian markets. Metal-polymer tubes combine the qualities of metal and plastics, are light weighted, long-run (life-time is more than 50 years), can be easily bent and assembled. They are not subject to corrosion and salt deposition. They have better technical characteristics (quality) as compared with steel and cast iron tubes. Their production is not a highly power consuming one.
A6. Environmental impact summary:
Modern equipment and high technologies application do not have any sufficient impact on the environment.
A7.Possible obstacles / problems / risk assessment:
The main risks are connected with conquering the Belarussian and Russian markets by other producers. Application of special legal regime will permit to reduce the risk assessment at the expense of the products quality and lower release prices.
