Excursion to BELAZ
According to a survey conducted earlier this year, excursions to industrial enterprises are among the most popular activities for our members. Responding to these wishes, the Club decided to put more focus on industrial excursions this year and arrange for members to visit famous Belarusian companies, as well as our members' production sites.
The season of industrial excursions in our Club has been opened by visiting the Belarusian Automobile Plant in Zhodino on April, 29. During this excursion every member could have a look at the heavy machinery production with his/her own eyes, and see the pride of Belarusian auto-industry - Guinness Book of Records the biggest dump truck in the world BelAZ - 75710 with nominal capacity of 450 tons.
In order to keep within 1,5 hours of sightseeing, it is necessary to move around the territory of the plant, where more than 9000 people work, by transport, in our case - by bus. This allows you to get an idea of the scale of the plant-city in a short period of time, as well as get acquainted with current and historical achievements of BelAZ.
The strongest impression, of course, leaves the exhibition area of the plant, which presents samples of vehicles produced by the plant with the lifting capacity from 30 to 450 tons. The stand provides an excellent background for impressive photos, both next to the giant machines, and on the machines themselves, which our participants could not resist taking advantage of. You can also have a look at the experimenting workshop for assembling extra-heavy dump trucks, and see one more example of BelAZ-75710, but in an unfinished state.
Besides the main attraction of the plant - the giant machines themselves - the excursion plan included a tea party with special local biscuits in the shape of a BelAZ dump truck, and also a visit to the plant's history museum, where we could learn the plant's history, watch a video about BelAZ trucks working in quarries, and appreciate the plant's equipment and gifts from all over the world. At the end of the excursion the participants could make a wish, holding a key of a huge BelAZ dump truck in their hands - according to the factory legend, the wishes made "on the key" will come true for sure. And a souvenir mini-BelAZ presented to everyone will be a visible reminder of this excursion.
We hope that our trip to the BelAZ plant pleased both small and large participants and set everyone up for the next events, as another visit to the industrial plant is already planned!
