Construction, installation and commissioning works are underway at the Gazli UGS (Underground Gas Storage) facility project, including the installation of a flare stack with reduction and ignition units 2-F 601 and compressor units GPA-100, GPA-200. Works to connect wells to start-up complexes have already been completed. The project provides for a phased increase in UGS volumes by restoring in-field production and building a new gas pumping facility.
Karakul machine building plant (2022 – Ongoing)
Enter Steel Karakul LLC is constructing a plant for the production of metal structures, pipes, vessels, and machinery. It will be the third plant of its kind operating in the Tashkent region. The project will allow the manufacture of products for Uzbekistan's domestic market that are currently being imported, as well as creating 1,000 new jobs. Domestic needs are anticipated to be met over the next 5 years, after which the potential export of such products may begin.
Almalyk Machine Building Plant (2021 – Ongoing)
Construction of the 80,000 m² Enter Steel machine-building plant in Almalyk is nearing completion. The company plans to produce 22,000 tons/pa of sheet metal and 75,600 tons/pa of profile steel, as well as apron feeders, belt conveyors, flotation machines, ball mills, cable and pipe racks, embedded parts, beams and columns.
