Airships helped Neryungrinsky miners to win the first place in the CASE-IN championship

On March 12, the regional stage of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" took place in the city of Yakutsk, on the basis of the Northeastern Federal University. The first place in the field of Mining was won by the Horizon team of students of the NEFU Technical Institute (branch) in the city of Neryungri. The guys presented a project to supply air to deep pits using airships.

According to the head of the mining teams, Ph.D., Head of the Mining Department of the university Victor Rochev 9 teams participated in the regional stage of the Mining championship. When evaluating the submitted works, the jury took into account the technology of the project, its economy and ecology, and its relation to regional specifics. The Horizon team, which took 1st place, proposed a project to move fresh air in the deep parts of the quarries through the use of airships. The jury highly appreciated the originality of the development, the good thoughtfulness of its economic component and the high-quality presentation.

Another team of miners from the Technical Institute, which won the 2nd place in the regional stage of the championship, presented a project for a fully automated, "unpopulated" quarry mining technology.

According to Viktor Rochev, both teams performed well, as evidenced by the small difference in the final scores, and compared favorably with their rivals. NEFU students confidently answered questions from experts and actively presented prepared presentations.

The winning team included students of the Mining specialty: Alexander Gergeev (5th year), Ignatiev Maxim (4th year), Kukhtin Anton (4th year) and team captain Edward Ivanov (5th year). As a reward, they were awarded certificates for the purchase of digital equipment, powerbanks and hard drives, and internship assignments at ALROSA. In addition, the winning team will represent their university in the final of the CASE-IN championship on May 30-31 in Moscow.

Another team of the Neryungrinsky Institute competed in the championship in the field of "Electric power engineering and electrical engineering". With the project "Technological modernization and efficiency improvement of the energy interconnection of the CIS and Baltic countries", sophomores of the Faculty of Energy, under the guidance of Ph.D., Acting Head of the Department of Electric Drive and Automation Mahmud Musakaev, took the 3rd place out of ten teams, according to the NEFU TI (f) press service in the city of Neryungri.
