The entire body of the rig under efficiency are crucial, by all means, at coating is also significantly exposed to selection of rational constructive corrosion due to the abundant solutions. condensation in winter time. However, solving the problem of provision of the longevity of structures and reduction of costs for their repair and maintenance is no less important for structures subjected to corrosive wear. Therefore, choosing cross sections and junctions of winding tower, an aspect of their resistance to corrosion as a guarantee of safety and durability must be considered. The department ‘Construction of Underground Structures and Mines" KuzSTU has developed fundamental constructive solution of the steel winding tower (Fig. 2) [2] and made its prototype (Fig. 3).

The main defects and damage of the jib can be attributed to deformation due to mechanical impact. A large number of jibs promotes accumulation of coal dust, slag and lube in junctions of the jib and braces, and consequently, occurrence of significant corrosion in the stagnant areas. The condition of stairs and fences does not affect the carrying capacity, but defects and damages of these parts affect Fig. 2.

Introduction Currently the tendency to reject the construction of vertical shafts is dominated in the design of new Kuzbass mines – the preference is given to the slop mining. This tendency is determined by some reasons: - significant construction time of vertical shafts - 50-60% of the total duration of mine construction; Fig. 1.

There is no work and no modern infrastructure, people in those cities have no work and opportunity if something goes wrong with a single enterprise. The problem is huge for Russia – there is approximately 15 million living at the monocities now with little hope to change their lives. The challenge – how could we transform monocities and give them a new hope There is no fast and easy answer to the challenge. It is necessary not only to attract new investors and create jobs but often rebuild the cities themselves as their current infrastructure is not suited for businesses other than their core.

    Master Program in Economic Growth, Innovation and Spatial Dynamics Russian Monotowns Delgir Maksimova [email protected] Abstract: Monofunctional towns of Russia represent the extreme case of specialized settlements where the socio-economic development mostly or fully depends on the performance of one or a few town-forming enterprises. This phenomenon obtained attention after the Soviet Union collapse, which has resulted in worsening of the socio-economic situation in monotowns. However, since the 2000s the differentiation in the development among monofunctional towns was observed. What can condition such differentiation? In this study an attempt to provide a new perspective, through which monotowns can be studied. The analysis is done in the step- wise manner and based on the developed data matrix and taxonomy of monotowns.

In Russian theory and practice otherwise it is defined three approaehes to the criteria definition. Taken into consideration these practices and the considerable difference between company towns the authors offer the following distinguishmg factors of company town: township-forming enterprise, industry structure, human resource allocation, financial resource allocation, corporate social responsibility, and town location relative as additional external element common to most company towns. The analysis of the faetors on the basis of Yurga socio-economic wellbeing data concludes that the company town has still strong influence from township-forming enterprise in spite of economy diversification results, including core industry reduction in production and employment rates. The main element of the influence is a thermal power station on the balance of the township-forming enterprise that serves the needs of citizens, so we eonsider it as the part of corporate soeial responsibility concept.

Many regions of Russian Federation have serious problems with water supply. Despite the significant water resource potential, including ground, surface and mineral waters, not all the population of the Kemerovo region is provided with clean drinking water. Besides the location of heavy industry enterprises, especially coal mines and pits, within the boundaries of river basins affects the condition and quality of water from different water sources. The purpose of this paper is to provide a research of clean drinking water providing the population of the Kemerovo region-Kuzbass, formulate the main problems and identify possible areas of activity in the field of increasing the availability of clean drinking water for the population of Kemerovo region-Kuzbass. 1 Introduction Safe and accessible water is an important factor in human health, regardless of the purposes for which it is used (drinking, domestic needs, cooking, etc.). An improved water supply and sanitation system and more efficient water use can contribute to economic growth in countries and make a significant contribution to poverty reduction. Improved water supply and sanitation system and more efficient water management can contribute to economic growth of countries and make a significant contribution to poverty reduction. One of the most important areas of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation is the provision of its population with clean drinking water.
