Future miners from Magadan took silver at the CASE-IN championship

The team of Northeastern State University won the silver medal at the 10th anniversary International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".

In 2022, the CASE-IN championship is dedicated to the theme "Industry 4.0": it permeates the tasks of all competitions held as part of the jubilee X season of the championship.

SVSU is a regular participant in the championship, and this year two teams made it to the finals, having passed the tough competition of the qualifying stages.

This year, SVSU was represented in the finals.:

• team PIN code, direction of geological exploration;
• The Tardigrades team, mining industry.

As part of the final tasks, future industry specialists had to finalize the tasks of the cases received at the previous stages of the championship. The partner of the "mining" directions of the "CASE-IN" is traditionally ALROSA JSC (PAO), based on the materials of which the cases were compiled.

Future geologists were asked to draw up a draft exploration work and calculate the reserves of minerals at the work site located in the middle reaches of the Irelyakh River, a left tributary of the Malaya Botuobiya River in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The contestants also assessed the amount of investments needed to implement the proposed project.

The task for future miners was to analyze the processes of under-laying and shrinkage of laying mixtures during laying operations. The students were required to propose a modern way of conducting laying operations, formulate and propose a technology to reduce the amount of under-laying and shrinkage of the laying mixture in the conditions of the Internatsionalny underground mine.

The teams from Northeastern State University have experienced both ups and downs in all 9 years of participation in the championship.

The Tardigrades team, which included students of the MAR-81 group, Sergey Plitschko, Kirill Novikov, Maxim Epimakhov, Vladislav Sapunov, won silver medals. The guys were able to impose a fight and beat teams from universities such as St. Petersburg Mining University, NUST MISIS, UGSU and KSTU, which occupy the first lines of the rating of this championship in the field of mining.
