During an official visit to Almaty, Samruk-Energy CEO Kairat Maxutov inspected the construction site of a plant producing building blocks and dry construction mixes, with participation from Vulban Construction Materials Limited LLP.
The project is the first of its kind in Kazakhstan, with no comparable projects in the country.
The technology is designed to gradually convert accumulated ash and slag waste into industrial use, thereby reducing environmental pressure on surrounding areas.
The plant is expected to reach an annual production capacity of 200,000 cubic meters. Commissioning is scheduled for the end of 2026. The investor also plans to scale the project to Almaty CHP-3 and the Ekibastuz SDPPs, expanding ash and slag processing across additional facilities.
During the visit, the project team briefed Samruk-Energy management on current progress. Engineering infrastructure has been completed, and foundation works are underway.
The project is intended to serve as a model for scaling the technology at other power plants and demonstrates Samruk-Energy’s environmentally focused approach to industrial waste management.
