TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY
Conclusions The implementation of operations under polar conditions poses special challenges to the organization of work and to technology. With regard to drilling technique in permafrost, simple and robust technologies are preferred, as more emphasis is given to reliability than to productivity. These procedures lead to the fact, that such technologies show very slow developments over time. A further development of technologies only occurs with the entry of new entrepreneurs with new know-how, particularly in remote areas of the world, like in Norilsk. Nowadays, with the current intensive development of the infrastructure of the polar region for raw material extraction, working technologies of this region are highly being developed. This allows for hopes that during the coming 10 – 20 years the local technique will reach up to date standards. However, most modern technology is already being applied in the planned permanent mining installations of the WS-10 air shaft, like for example in hoists, the main pit fan system and the high-voltage transformer station, as well as in the shaft sinking technique used.
