Kopalnia Węgla Kamiennego Krupiński
The coal mine Krupiński (Pol. Kopalnia Węgla Kamiennego Krupiński ) is planned to decommission coal mine in Suszec , Poland.
history
At the beginning of the 1970s, the Polish government came up with a plan to build three mines east and south of Jastrzębie-Zdrój as a result of increased energy demand , which during their construction operated under the common name of Suszec-Kaczyce-Pawłowice . The decision to build a mine in Suszec was made on July 29, 1975; construction began in December of the same year. Initially bearing the name Suszec under construction, the mine was named Krupinski on December 3, 1983 when it was commissioned .
The mine has three shafts (mining) | shafts and is constructed like many others in the region in this respect: a tower clad with profiled sheets stands above the conveyor shaft with a skip device , the double jack is used for rope and material transport and a third shaft with one smaller steel frame is designed as a weather shaft. It is noteworthy that the double jack above shaft 1 (see photo) is not made of steel, but of concrete.
Like almost all other Upper Silesian mines, the mine experienced numerous changes of owner and operator. Initially it belonged to the "Association of the Coal Industry of Jastrzebie-Zdrój" and from April 1, 1993 to Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa SA (JSW), to which seven mines belonged at the time of foundation.
The mine has a legal right of 27.2 km², the driveway is 420 km and in the period from 1983 to 2010 47.1 million tons of steam and coking coal were extracted .
present
In the last 10 years the mine has made losses totaling more than PLN 1 billion (approx. 250 million euros). It is also expected that continued operation by 2021 (date of the end of the current operating license) would cost around PLN 300 to 520 million. Therefore, in long negotiations in the summer of 2016, it was decided to hand over the mine on March 31, 2017 to "Spółka Restructureyzacji Kopalń SA" (SRK). The agreement stipulates that of the current 1900 employees, around 650 employees remaining at JSW carry out maintenance and excavation work on Krupiński, while others take early retirement or leave the mining industry with severance pay.
