Claims also result from design and implementation errors, warranty on material defects to repair damages incurred by the company as a result of material defects, and returns costs Alternative performance within the scope of repairing defects in the boiler hopper and mills and satisfying a claim against subcontractor payments for performance performed Works– We read in the statement of the state-owned company.

Identified design defects affect the operation, efficiency and economics of unit operation. For example, boiler design errors cause slag and sintering to form, resulting in lower unit availability. The disadvantages of the milling system, in turn, result in a high failure rate of the pyrite unloading system, and insufficient efficiency of the mills, which in turn leads to, among other things, a decrease in the availability of mill teams and an increase in the number of people servicing the mill.
