KBRU Road — Access Road Project to Quarry No. 2

KBRU Road — a modern access road project to Quarry No. 2

The construction project for the access road to Quarry No. 2 of the Vostochno-Ayatskoye deposit at KBRU was developed to ensure efficient transport logistics and the safe movement of technological transport. The new road will become an important element of the region’s industrial infrastructure and provide stable connectivity between the production facilities of the deposit.

The designed road begins from the existing access road to Quarry No. 4 and has a construction length of 14.963 km. The route was developed taking into account the terrain features, marshy areas, and the operational requirements of industrial transport.

Architecture and infrastructure of the road project

The KBRU road project предусматривает the construction of a modern on-site access road of category III-k. The main objective of the project is to organize reliable transport communication between quarry facilities and industrial infrastructure.

The road includes:

• Two-lane carriageway with a width of 15 meters
• Shoulders with a width of 1.5 meters
• Roadbed with a width of 18 meters
• 13 culverts
• 6 intersections and junctions
• 2 intersections with public roads
• Crossings with power transmission lines and engineering utilities
• Road signage and traffic management system

The route bypasses marshy terrain, ensuring the stability of the road structure and the reliable operation of the facility in challenging natural conditions.

Structural solutions for the pavement design

The project provides for the use of a reliable pavement structure adapted for the intensive operation of industrial transport. The design was developed taking into account the climatic conditions of the Kostanay Region and the characteristics of local soils.

Pavement structure:

• Base layer of graded crushed stone 20–40 mm
• Additional wedging layer with fine crushed stone 0–15 mm
• Multi-layer base construction system
• Additional soil-cement mixture layer
• Reinforced shoulders
• Embankment soil made of silty clay
• Slope construction and grass seeding for soil stabilization

The design solutions ensure the stability of the road structure, high load-bearing capacity, and long-term operational durability.

Engineering solutions and traffic safety

Special attention in the project is given to engineering safety and traffic organization. The road design includes the installation of culverts for surface water drainage and prevention of roadbase erosion.

Road signs and engineering traffic management elements are used to regulate vehicle movement. The project also takes into account crossings with power transmission lines, engineering utilities, and existing public roads.

Modern transport infrastructure of KBRU

The construction of the KBRU road is an important stage in the development of the industrial infrastructure of the Vostochno-Ayatskoye deposit. The new transport route will ensure efficient logistics for quarry equipment, stable transportation links, and increased production efficiency.

The project demonstrates a modern approach to the construction of technological industrial roads in Kazakhstan’s mining and industrial sector.

Advantages of the KBRU road project

• Modern road infrastructure
• High reliability of the road structure
• Adaptation to challenging soil conditions
• Efficient quarry transport logistics
• Safe traffic organization
• Resistance to climatic loads
• Modern engineering solutions
• Development of the region’s industrial infrastructure

The KBRU road project to Quarry No. 2 of the Vostochno-Ayatskoye deposit represents a modern infrastructure solution for Kazakhstan’s industrial sector. The reliable pavement structure, well-designed engineering system, and efficient transport logistics organization make the facility an important element of the production infrastructure.

The construction of the road will ensure the stable operation of the quarry complex, improve transport accessibility, and become part of the development of the region’s industrial network.
