Construction complex of the Republic of Mordovia consists of the industry of construction materials, elements and structures, contracting organizations and design and surveys companies.
Industry of construction materials, elements and structures consists of 50 companies, share of this branch in total volume of industrial production of the Republic makes 21% (for reference: late 1980’s – 5%). Over 5.9 thousand people are engaged in this branch, making 8.1% of the total number of people working in the industrial sphere. Main list of manufactured products include: cement, asbestos-cement and reinforced concrete elements and structures, walling and heat-insulating materials. Average annual growth rate of volume of manufactured products during last 5 years made up over 109.3%. The biggest company of this branch is OJSC “Mordovcement” with annual capacity of 4.2 million tons of cement. It produces 30% of all cement in Volga federal district and 5.3% in Russian Federation. Products of the branch are in constant demand in republican and Russian markets, and also in CIS countries. Over 85% of it is sold outside Mordovia.
Since late 1990’s sufficient volume of work on reconstruction of own production basis took place within the branch. As a result of modernization of production capacities, an old system of construction materials manufacturing was replaced with production of new high-quality, energy-efficient products, which are in demand within the Russian market. Following production was made possible: cellular concrete, three-layered wall-panels with heat-insulation made of cellular polystyrene, heat-insulating materials made of basalt fiber, cellular polystyrene, polyterm, wall and roofing “sandwich”-panels, polyvinylchloride profile and aluminium sash pulleys and door-frames with double glazing units. Production of modern finishing materials was mastered: face bricks by French technology «CERIC», dry construction mix, metal tiling and profile, siding, decorative fences, panel doors, curb stone and facing tile, etc. These materials are in high demand in and outside of Mordovia.

Following big investment projects are implemented in the republic today: construction of technology line of semi-dry method of cement production with capacity of 2.5 million tons per year (in OJSC “Mordovcement”); setting up production of new in Russia construction material, designed for ventilated facades when facing multistorey buildings as well as finishing buildings and structures – fibrocement slabs with capacity of 6 million square meters per year (in OJSC “Lato”). Technology of finishing facades with fibrocement slabs is designed specifically for regions with inclement climate, it allows “dry” assembling, efficient and safe reconstruction of any facade, it is important that during the winter time this material increases the inside temperature and in summer it lowers it.
There are 830 construction companies in the Republic of Mordovia; they produce 11% of Gross regional product. Volume of contract operations in 2007 made up 11 billion rubles, average annual growth rate during last 3 years made over 112% in comparable prices. Over 19.8 thousand people are engaged in construction, making 6.9% of the total number of working population. Companies conduct construction activities in industrial and social spheres, road-building, gas and water pipe-lines, electric mains, communication lines. Technology of conducting construction works is constantly developing; equipment is renewed on regular basis. Gas pipe-lines and telecommunication networks are laid by trenchless method. A priority national project “Affordable and comfortable housing – for Russian citizens” is being implemented by companies of the branch. Over 242.8 thousand square meters of housing were built in 2007. According to the Programme “Housing”, developed in the republic, 345 thousand square meters of housing should be made available by the year 2010. This includes 170 thousand square meters by system of mortgage lending, which is given special attention in the republic. Housing in the republic will be built by traditional technologies – bricks, large-panels, wood, and new technologies – frame-monolith with modern structure and finishing materials, etc. |

Design and surveys companies of the Republic of Mordovia have all the necessary provision (software support, data-ware, hardware) for conducting design and survey activities on highest up-to-date level. In the last years number of buildings, including apartment houses, constructed by individual designs has increased. Capital of Mordovia – Saransk was given a new look by buildings like Gymnasium ą12, House of Finance of the Republic of Mordovia, Custom house, Ice Palace, sports complex «Mordovia», stadium «Start» and one of the largest in Volga federal district Svyato-Fedorovsky Cathedral (Saransk). Buildings of Chamber of Commerce and Industry and National drama theatre are at its final stages of construction.
Villages are also given special attention – 4-5 rural schools are built every year, rural ambulance stations, hospitals, cultural clubs and sports complexes are being built or reconstructed. Programme of rural area gasification is at its final stage (over 90% of rural settlements are supplied with gas), programme of building water pipe-lines in rural area in developed and being implemented, automobile roads are being built and reconstructed. |
