The renovation of the L-VI shaft will not only allow mining in the northern parts of the mine, but it will also shorten the transport route, and hence the time of employees' travel from the shaft to the ancestor. This shaft will be used until the end of works of Zakłady Górnicze Lubin.

Construction of cubic structures and surface infrastructure of the L-VI shaft in Rynarcice, in the Rudna Commune, is run by KRB, the construction department of PeBeKa. Assembly works are performed by KRM.

Reconstruction of the L-VI shaft - works are underway

Duration: 2016 - 2018 (w trakcie)
