Tolmachevsky Plant of Reinforced Concrete Structures (now Tolmachevsky Plant of Reinforced Concrete and Metal Structures) is a city-forming enterprise specializing in the production of reinforced concrete and metal structures of increased complexity for transport construction.
The Tolmachevsky plant was created on the basis of a former brick plant. In the 1960s, according to the Lengiprotrans project, the plant was reconstructed for reorientation to the production of reinforced concrete structures (RC). During this period in the USSR, reinforced concrete structures were introduced into the railway system. These were, first of all, reinforced concrete sleepers and supports of the contact network, automatic blocking and communication lines.
In the 1980s, for the Tolmachevsky plant, Lengiprotrans also developed a workshop for automatic blocking supports with a capacity of 15 thousand tons. m3 of products per year. Here, for the production of supports, stands were used for tensioning reinforcement, centrifuges for compacting concrete, and for heat treatment of supports - tunnel chambers for induction heating.
