Work in the design of cement plants.

The glass industry of pre -revolutionary Russia can also serve as a characteristic example of uneven placement of industrial production under capitalism. The bulk of all window glass was produced in the central part of Russia, mainly in the territory of the current Bryansk and Vladimir regions.

More than 60% of the production of bricks in the entire European part of Russia accounted for five provinces (St. Petersburg, Moscow, Kyiv, Don, Kharkov). The slate was produced only in Bryansk and Rostov; soft roof – in St. Petersburg; Tiles – in the south.

Construction ceramics were produced in a very limited number of points: 80% of all ceramic tiles were manufactured at two Kharkov factories, 75% of ceramic pipes at the Borovic Plant in the Novgorod province, some of the ceramic products were produced by small artisanal -type enterprises in Ukraine in the Volyn province.

The uneven placement of the pre -revolutionary industry of building materials was influenced not only by the general phenomena, which are logical for any branch of the capitalist industry, but also the specific conditions of construction in Russia. They consisted in small volumes of construction and in the predominance of construction work in large cities – in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Baku and in Donbass.

As a result of uneven placement of industry, building materials to the consumption areas often had to be transported over very long distances.

During the years of Soviet power, a lot of work has been done to radically improve the geographical placement of the building materials industry.

When placing each industrial enterprise, the volumes, needs, the placement of enterprises of other industries were taken into account, as well as the availability of energy and raw materials resources.

This object has such a fate that involuntarily allocates it among others in Kazakhstan. The bridge across the Ural River in the administrative center of the West Kazakhstan region began to be built in the “good old days”, that is, under the Soviet regime. Since the republic never had their own organizations specialized in this case, bridge builders from different Russian cities worked here here. Then there was a notorious “parade of sovereignty”, followed by an economic crisis. Although the construction of the bridge continued, however, the payment of the executed volumes was now constantly delayed, or even at all moved away for an indefinite period. For this reason, the bridge builders stopped working several times. However, the object in Uralsk is one of the most significant in Kazakhstan, and therefore did not forget about it: the press periodically woke up this topic. Increased attention is also explained by the fact that the bridge across the Urals does not just connect the two banks of the river, it makes up an important link on the shortest path from Central Asia to the European part of Russia. As a result, the story of the invitation of bridge builders from a neighboring state was repeated again and again, without a visible result. There is a rather funny moment in it. A couple of years ago, when the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev arrived in Uralsk, the local authorities invited him to take part in the solemn open… bridge over the Urals. The head of state made sensory words and cut the red ribbon. But when the ceremony ended and the president left, the entrance to the bridge was closed. The fact is that every driver who would decide to update the shortest path from Central Asia to Russia could well have been on the other side, but at the bottom of the river. The object was not over. And the main difficulty was not so much in building a car transition through the Urals itself, but in the construction of multi -kilometer approaches to it through a constantly flooded floodplain. And work here still start and finish. And now in the republic they decided to return to the long -suffering object again. The Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Republic of Kazakhstan announced the competition for state procurement of works and services for the reconstruction of the bridge over the Ural River. The required delivery time within 2000. Potential suppliers who meet the qualification requirements stipulated in Article 10 of the Law of Kazakhstan “On public procurement” are allowed to the competition.
