INDUSTRIES

We have been granted access to many industrial and petrochemical sites in Siberia and have coverage of the heavy industry and mining in Norilsk, the Gas developments in north west Siberia and other pictures of docks, power stations, mines and factories in an arctic environment, on the positive side we have covered the hospital in Norilsk and the Tomatoes growing in green houses heated by the nuclear power station in Bilibino.

Update: In spring 2008 Bryan travelled on the railway being constructed to the gas fields at Bovanenkovo, he took pictures of the train and the construction on one of the railway bridges being built along the line. We have new pictures of modern buildings in the regional capital, Salekhard, now a gas boomtown. Later in the trip he visited Noviy Urengoi and photographed the sections of the Gas pipeline being transported on trucks along the Winter roads towards the Yorharovo gas field and then being lifted into their place and welded on the pipeline, all in the dead of winter. They will carry the gas to the Yorharovo Neftgaz Production facility. We also have more pictures of gas flares at the Gazprom facilty in Noviy Urengoi.
