visiting shaft sinking company

For an interested observer of economic trends, it is always interesting where young entrepreneurs are up against experienced and successful companies handlebars. That was yesterday once more the case during the visit of the junior members of the business of the company Nord GmbH in Nordhausen, shaft sinking ...

For the visit to provide insight into the company's history, mandate and scope of production and factory tour two hours were provided. With the adoption by Thoralf Wilke, authorized the company had passed more than three hours. During the development of young entrepreneurs and impressions about current events in the narrower and broader strategic, economic, but also the spatial sense of the company have been taught.

First it was Jürgen Counties, CEO of the company, gave an overview of its structure, the privatized after the fall (in 1992) and has since become the Bauer Group - a family-owned - in Schrobenhausen (near Augsburg) belongs. Counties did not last long in the development of the company under his leadership, so since 1993. Although just this phase of a mining specialist service in GDR times a pronounced modern, internationally-focused technology companies is very interesting. The archive of nnz contains numerous articles in recent history, which are characterized by Jürgen Counties.

First, however, the young entrepreneurs essential heard about the farmer's group, which is the holding company for 7 years and with its stock exchange listed 8-10000 employees fairly strong leader in the fragmented domestic market in the civil engineering works. And represents one of the world's largest companies. Worldwide, more than 110 subsidiaries in 70 countries around the group, which generates more than two thirds of its services abroad. The business is divided into three areas: Construction, Equipment and Resources. The Group reports annual sales of approximately € 1.4 billion, but was recorded in 2009 by the economic downturn, a slump from which he recovered but in the following year again.

Subsequently Counties described in matter-of-jovial manner, the structure of the company they run, as far as to better understand the entrepreneurial tasks seemed necessary. Shaft sinking employs approximately 900 employees, cooperates with the university since 2003 Nordhausen and training company is recognized as absolute. Of the approximately 80 employees in the apprenticeship. Counties often relativized by the way the alleged general lack of skilled workers: he distinguished himself as well in certain specific areas, but overall is in such a far-sighted planning and training specialists in any case not really as dramatic as it is often claimed.

Also, shaft sinking has according to the statements Counties on corporate connections and investments at home and abroad, ranging up to Kazakhstan and overseas, made while at the same attention to the sometimes complicated or difficult set of connections and negotiating tours, often in completely different mentality and economic view of the potential partners have their reasons.

After this overview Counties showed on the main engineering fields his company realized in the infrastructure construction shaft construction for public and private clients at home and discharge at the engineering and reconstruction. These include bridges, their assembly, shunting, but also repairs and strengthening and upgrading of steel structures. Counties shown in the computational examples in each lecture.

In machine and plant manufactures and assembles shaft construction for national and international clients under modern conditions of the special civil engineering products, mining and bridge construction. Offer scope for the engineering part of this assembly, welding and machining for the undercarriage. The portfolio (job offer) is complemented by activities in the field of environmental engineering with the departments of biogas and water management. Their volume is increasing rapidly and now occupies a wide range of offerings.

In the traditional area of ​​mining shaft sinking focuses on the planning and execution of special mining services for all types of vertical and horizontal mining operations worldwide. The company is also active in the excavation of underground lines in the storage of low and medium radioactive waste. Gorleben Konrad or are examples of the execution of such contracts.

After Jürgen had finished his presentation and he answered Counties asked questions, invited Thoralf Wilke attorney for guidance by the extensive grounds and a huge production halls. In the following, saw and learned a lot about the JCI, the manufacturing of parts, assembly - about mobile drilling units and weigh - and the loading and delivery of bridge parts to road transport. It fell to the exceptionally clear information provided to Wilkes, which illustrated the previously heard of Counties. And for the Junior Chamber (and Rapporteur) should have brought an enormous enrichment of knowledge about the largest industrial companies in the region with its extensive range of supply and production with it.

Tough battle with rocks and water

tunnel patron herself got on the backhoe
North bay homes builders yesterday on the way to the breakthrough of
the tunnel must.

Roth - who expected to see flying in blasting the boulders was
disappointed this time. When - of course only symbolic - Striking at
the southern entrance of the tunnels have lunch yesterday was a
different "stage directions" in force. The enterprising tunnel
godmother, Christine Zitzmann will, so railway spokesman Frank
Kniestedter announced before about 30 attendees - including miners,
railway officials but also spectators - most even swing the bucket and
break through the last wall.

This is what happened: Zitzmann drove from the north side in the 705
meter long tunnel in order to be admitted behind the imaginary barrier
in the technology of the last eruption. A short time later a thud
echoed from the tube and with a blow to the bucket drilled with a gray
"wall" made of plywood and metal mesh stretched over with tarpaulin.
First, only flew the plane, then the grid, and down at the spectators
did not have so many bad amazed at how professional conduct to the
district administrator can even heavy machinery. She did it so much we
can tell, not without male assistance. When the grid was broken
circular, the brash tunnel godmother was gallantly lifted out of the
cabin. Applause from the audience: "Good luck!". The subsequent tunnel
liquor was (so to speak logically) a "double Nordhäuser grain" that
ranged from the builders Schachtbau Nordhausen in the round. For
Zitzmann, it made a spring bouquet. - Flowers of gratitude, because of
lack of interest in the sponsor should not really complain to the
builders. Four times the district administrator in the past year seen
after "their miners" (as she herself put it more than once). And they
certainly did not come empty handed. She had, she says, suffered with
them for the many uncertainties of the construction. She had, she
assured also "very much to learn" above all, how hard and dangerous
the work was at times. "After one year of the hill is taken," she
says, "I'm very proud of my miners!"

€ 26 million of costs on 29 February a year ago in strikes must tunnel
between Roth and Döhlau who reportedly was not easy to aufzuwältigen.
Again, there have been several smaller fractures in the sandstone and
shale, which would have closed after the blast, it said. And even some
chunks of shale formations further north, it has swept millions of
years ago in the layers. Geology has made the northern bay houses the
peasants digging sometimes quite difficult. This was confirmed by the
manager responsible for underground Eberhard Anders, as he also spoke
of a "stony as aqueous path" through the mountain and thanked his men
who had almost mastered the driving schedule.

The saying of "resounding success" eventually sought Olaf Drescher,
overall project manager Nuremberg - Berlin of the DB project
construction, despite the financial crisis when he announced the
"rapid ongoing construction" of the ICE line. "With this construction
phase between the landscape between the formative and viaducts wins
Froschgrundsee Grümpen the implementation of the largest railway
project in Germany continue to speed," Drescher announced. The aim of
commissioning is 2017th Mainly due to construction activities in the
Thuringian side next to be strengthened. The tunnel would be required
to, although not exactly one of the greats, was therefore "an
important component within the entire route."

On the edge of breakdown ceremony was to be heard, that the tunnel
tree Leite, which is adjacent to the incision in the Grümpentalbrücke
and dear ones, opens this autumn struck by Theuerner page. The tunnel,
whose execution is not carried out, has a length of 1317 meters and an
overlay of approximately 30 meters.

In seek-tunnel, where the road level is still a piece of bench
aufzuwältigen, then work will begin on the inner formwork which is
provided on the basis of the leachate with an umbrella seal. Also the
tunnel floor has a ground water discharge. For the south entrance is a
panel provided with prefabricated parts. On the opposite side of the
tunnel exit rests in solid rock.

The spill-mining workers in the collapsed San Jose mine in Chile to
show signs of depression, the Chilean authorities. Want the Minister
of Health of Chile, Jaime Manalich says that five of the 33 included
mining workers no longer eat properly and do not show more calm down
before the camera. The mining workers are trapped 700 feet below the
surface, but are supplied via a supply pipe with the necessary funds.

Psychologists are now trying to treat the said five workers over the
camera. The trapped mine workers for three weeks, however, must hold
at least another four months, the corresponding shaft construction to
begin on Monday. For this purpose, heavy machinery from Australia and
Spain were flown.

On Thursday in Chilean television showed a homemade movie of mine
workers, said five workers, however, refused to appear before the
camera. The workers are very isolated, the tunnels are hot and
stifling. The relatives have moved into the poured in a camp near the
mine. You want to stay close allows the isolated workers and help them
develop mentally. But they make the mine operators San Esteban Mining
also allegations. 2008, the gold and copper mine broke once been
together almost a year later it was reopened.

Over the next few weeks to arrive at NASA doctors and help to spice up
the mining workers. NASA has asked for help because the conditions are
similar to underground, such as in space. The trapped workers are kept
in shape with a specially tuned schedule, neither will they be forced
to observe the day and night rhythm.

Biogas plant takes first prize

Nordhausen (pln). Shaft sinking Nordhausen has won this year's
Innovation Award of the district of Nordhausen. Anyone heard about the
award winners, you know by clicking MORE.

The excellent biogas plant is built in modules, enabling small and
even large systems - depending on individual customer. In addition,
the new construction permit better gas yield from the fermentation
process, SBN-CEO Juergen Counties.

The second prize went to the area of regenerative energies - namely
to the north houses Stahl GmbH, with its floating solar panels on the
Sundhäuser gravel ponds. Again, the energy yield is higher because the
water is equal to care for the necessary cooling, says CEO Bernd
Seidenstücker.

Place 3 occupied the Hörmann IMG GmbH, which has developed a system
for wagon bogies to check on wheelset - a technique developed over the
course of the debate about the safety and review of current ICEs has
become ever since. Prizes were awarded for the winner on the podium
with 2,500, 1,500 and 1,000 €, provided by the Foundation of
Kreissparkasse Nordhausen.

Start-ups receive a prize for SEN - System Development and Nordhausen
we4group - Network and systems management. Graduates of Nordhausen
University of Applied Sciences have developed an independent,
autonomous power supply for wireless data transfer. This means that
even in hard to reach places without appropriate infrastructure, for
example, use Internet services. The prototype of the model is placed
on the circle Nentzelsrode Waste Management Centre. The prize is worth
€ 300.

With 15 applications showed a great interest in the 13th The
innovation prize of the district. Next year, the judges look with
representatives of city and district of Nordhausen, Chamber of
Commerce, County craftsmen association, LEG, FHN and BIC Nordthüringen
how developed the award-winners have been awarded since 1995. A new
prize will be announced 2011th District Joachim Claus in his speech
described the innovation as a price signal that'll light up along with
many others in the region. Such signals are important to meet the one
hand by the economic crisis and also so that after the gap closure of
the A38 motorway is used not only to drive through, but also to stop.

Another highlight at yesterday's ceremony at the BIC Nordthüringen
translated by Dr. Bernard excelled Senft County craftsmen association
Nordthüringen and Udo Rock man of the Chamber of Commerce, the
excellent education establishments.

In the traditional car dealer Frank pottery artisans in Werther, the
construction company in Henning Urbach and carpentry Baudrexl
Harzungen from positive examples. The Chamber of Commerce honored the
company Hermann Bach GmbH in Nordhausen, prefabricated houses and the
North SOKRATHERM GmbH for their performance in the dual system of
education. In this context, praised Dr. Bernhard Senft, Managing
Director of the Guild of Craftsmen, the training culture of craft
enterprises in the county. Of the approximately 1,200 farms with a
total of approximately 5,800 employees make up 40 percent. Currently
around 730 apprentices are employed. The past has shown that nearly
three-quarters of the apprentices are taken. For four years, there is
also another master in the school district, in which continuing
education annually 25-30 artisans.

Udo Rock, Head of the Chamber of Commerce in Nordhausen, pointed to
the uneven distribution of supply and demand for skilled occupations.
While the services sector, demand exceeds supply on-site at a
distance, it is reversed in manufacturing occupations. To compensate
for this imbalance, Udo Rock man looked reserves in partnerships
between schools and companies and called on others to take part in the
action "in the business school" and to introduce into the classroom
their own work.
