almost all buildings, bridges and roads in belarus are built using slug, and it is mined in the brest region, in mikashevichi. and today we will find out. how it happens, stage by stage, the day promises to be eventful, let's get acquainted with our hero, hello, my name is kirill, i want to explore with you one of the most unusual places in belarus, a granite quarry, they say it's very cool there, i hope everything will work out and we will meet soon, hello, hello, you are certainly great, mikashevichi pulled me out, to be honest, i have never been to this quarry, tell me why you chose this place, well, i am a builder by education.

i am interested to know how crushed stone is mined and produced, which is used in construction almost everywhere. and do you know that this granite quarry is the largest in europe? yes, i know, that's exactly why i always dreamed of going there. me too, so let's not waste time. let's go? let's go! good afternoon, hello, dmitry, i brought you a hero who really wants to know everything about granite, how it is made, how it is mined, what it is used for, so, yes, absolutely right, you'll tell us, we'll tell you everything, we'll show you, while there's a head, what are you saying, yes, and today? do you see

any other additional functions, where should we go next? well , let's go, this is our observation deck, our exhibits are on display, let's say, our equipment, which we used in the quarry, this is our five-cubic meter excavator, let's say one of the old-timers, now we 're moving away from them in favor of a big... we have very well -developed industrial tourism, we have our own museum, old documents are on display, samples of minerals, bones, ancient animals, and they find things like that here, yes, that's right , mammoth tusks, elephant bones, bison bones were found, more and more of them are found each time, or what, they were only in one place, it was all in the sand, there is nothing in the stone, and let's go closer, let's go, of course,

i've heard about the size and depth of the quarry itself, but when i saw it myself my jaw dropped, the quarry looks like a giant funnel, it's some kind of medieval amphitheater, yes, it can be compared to a giant coliseum, listen, that's it height, however, the scale is certainly not small, let's say so, however, now the depth of the quarry is being calculated. 150 m, if we take the level of the baltic sea, then our lower horizon is 20 m under water, below the baltic sea, the baltic sea, yes , that's absolutely right, tell me, that's exactly specifically the tiers, do they have some kind of report, we don't call them tiers, we call them horizons, horizons, and why, by the way, in mining it appeared that a bench, a horizon, each horizon has its own mark, let's say, the lowest mark, where we see water now - it's -2, and minus ten, yes, but we, as they say, again, push off from the baltic sea

from the baltic sea, i wanted to ask, they will still dig, here is another new horizon, yes, yes, we have developed a project for four more horizons of 15 m, that is, we plan to develop another 60 m in depth rather, so good, and how much longer can this quarry exist, how long has it already existed, this year we had 50 years in the first explosion, 50 years, and another 25 years, and another 25, that is, until 2050.

as if toy excavators are here yes, they are so small, here we saw, it seems, such a colossus. you have to look up , like, from here from the observation deck it is even smaller than a matchbox, well, let's say that our observation deck presents the smallest of them, that is, they are even bigger there, they are even bigger, yes, okay, and i look there is a self-propelled vehicle, are these mazs or no, no, these are belazs, this is a belaz, a belaz vehicle, this tiny one, this is a belaz, yes, with a lifting capacity of 90 tons, i just did not believe these words. how is this even possible, yes, i had bigger cars when i was a kid, some belaz trucks, the quarry is big, 2.5 km long and 1,700 wide, so as they say, we are standing now, if we are looking at the belaz, but it is about one and a half km, yeah, even one and a half kilometers, our

transport pulled up, let's go to it, as they say, to the quarry, let's go! when we were riding on the bus, we looked out the windows on the sides, firstly, here are the landscapes, it was something, on one side you have polesian cliffs, on the other side there is a cliff and giant belaz trucks, and a serpentine, the road, as if you got into to some other world, and tell me, how to get there, if you take, well, approximately to the bottom, how long will it take? it will take, and eight, taking into account the serpentines, about 20 minutes, and in terms of distance it is about 4-5 km, decent, tell me, here is the distance between the horizons, in terms of height, is it the same

or is it different for each horizon, well, we have horizons 18 m high, there is a horizon 12 m high, i want to tell you honestly, looking from the site, the feeling is that there may be a meter or four, no more, but 18 m is, it is five-story building five-story building, at first glance i managed to count, as it seemed to me then, how many horizons of these steps, i think i counted nine, there seem to be more of them, i wish i could move over and see, you have a waterfall, by the way, i just remembered this now, this is your landmark to say, one of... where else in belarus can you see waterfalls, i think there is somewhere in the miory small something like that, but i think that since the height is 18 meters, then our waterfalls are in parallel,

if you or not byvi. will show waterfalls from abkhazia, come to us, we will show you belarusian abkhazia, belarusian abkhazia, we can call you that, you say tourists, waterfalls, and do tourists also go down, yes, seriously, yes, we have tourist tours, one of them is a museum, an observation deck, a waterfall, and how fresh it is right away. so yes right away yes so doused,

the first thought that was - this, wow, this is just a spectacle, tell me, here is this water itself, here are the waterfalls. and how do they even appear? this is groundwater, groundwater rushes to the very bottom of the quarry, we will say, it's a funnel effect, at the very bottom of the quarry the water is intercepted, we have a water collector there, pumps pump, pump - from the water collector zumfa tailings storage facility, where the water is clarified and then dumped through a canal into the pripyat river, well, it's some kind of, let's say, you can't drink it, right? no, there's a lot of iron, we can even look at the texture of the stone, it's all so red, we'll say, it's metal, yes, rust, yes, like rust, it's iron, another very big prime, and how many of these are on the territory quarry of such waterfalls, strength of tens.

this is the upper one, there are waterfalls below too, but the water does not flow here, it somehow flows through cracks, that's right, it gets through cracks, there is a crack somewhere here, but nothing, it won't go further, no, it won't go, let's say, we are not that big, if we can withstand belaz, you can somehow approach it, take a photo, you can only be careful, only carefully, well, let's go, let's go. you need to go from the side somehow, probably not,

the main thing here, okay, still in the water, here it won't fall off the rock and hit, maybe also slippery, how much closer can it be, everything, everything, yes, yes, when they allowed me to approach the waterfalls, i forgot about everything, yes, this is the most favorite place for tourists to take a cool photo. and how many meters is the height here? 20, 20? no, it seems to me less, no?

come on, let's change, when you are in the quarry, time stops, i have seen this before only in a picture. to give yourself a reboot, you do not necessarily have to go far? i love cycling, but of course, riding in the forest is a special pleasure in the program route built, we are going to... history,

original culture, real natural how much is contained in these words, long wealth and hospitable palishuks, for adventures, you will be left, right, carefully, girl with an oar, oh my god, how cool you are. oh, positive emotions, oh, this is a compass, show me, take the compass yourself, cool, it's a pity that the tv does not convey this aroma, friends, you need to go crazy with pleasure, in the garden a rook dawning, behind the mountain a hare is picking, if only i could have milk legs.

in 1818 the temple was built for the nobility.

i remember, as a child we always loved to climb some trees and shout the king of the mountain, but dmitry, it seems to me that you can always use all the evil energy.

we are working on the western side, we are not touching the center yet, because we need to move the water pipes, at what altitude are we now, below sea level, no, now it is plus seventy , and plus seventy, that is, we are still at the top, that is absolutely right, for me a stone has always been - it is something the same, yes, what always interfered in my garden parents, and here they have a name, and each one also... these different colored stones, it seemed like this, well, i was wondering

what types of stone are mined in the quarry, the quarry mainly contains two types of stones... this is diorite and granite, red is granite, it is still red granite, red granite, and you thought what kind, for me it was granite in general, it is all gray, something, no, we have gray, here is a gray stone, this is diorite for us, but there is also a variety of granodiorite, we will say, such and such a mixture, a mixture yes stones, this one, if you look at the colors, there is more gray, like, that is , diorite in the quarry... for some reason i thought that granite is mined more, but no, and in general , how do stones appear underground, let's say, this is solidified magma, i think that solidified magma is some kind of metal, no, it is still a stone, yes, a stone, oh, now i know that too, in addition to the color, let's say, there is

some other difference between diorite and granite, in terms of the strength of the rock, diorite is stronger. than granite, and what is made from it, from diorite, we produce crushed stone, and from granite also, also crushed stone, all the rock that we extract in the quarry, it goes to the crushing and sorting plant, where fractions are obtained, i always thought that the white with which we pass you is the largest machine, but there are even bigger and more majestic ones.

dmitry, tell us where we arrived and what kind of a machine this is, because we saw it from afar, it turned out to be much smaller. we arrived on the roof, from here the quarry begins, to the overburden, to the overburden, yes, yeah, the overburden is where we are now standing on the sand, this one the machine cleans the mineral, that is , it takes sand, puts it in a pile, this is a mountain, a pile, yeah, our pile is rock, sand, water, it settles a little, yeah, the water flows down, we take it. piles and move them to dumps, loosened roof pile-dump, good, and the upper fertile layer - where do you go, at the beginning of development it is removed and put separately, later it goes to us for reclamation, that is, it turns out that when we finish the dump, that is, you fill in, let's say, this sand, we fill in some area with sand, yeah, we fill it

with black soil, so that there is a fertile layer, so yes, we improve the layer, so we hand it over to the forestry department. that is, the forest is also planted, and the forestry department, in turn, is already planting trees on this territory that we handed over, so, that's clear, and now more about this colossus, so, the walking excavator esha 1170, walking, walking, the numbers 11, this is the bucket capacity, one with cubes, in tons this is how much, this is about 35-40 tons, 30, yes, what's going on, what's going on like this, and the boom length is 70 m. why after all, the excavator is called a shifter , the principle of operation is that it walks, it has three points on which it rests. now it is standing on a base, so this is round, this is rubbed, a round base, this is the base, here it is standing on it, let's say, it rotates around its axis, when moving, we use the paws,

these two, here is one paw on the other side, the second, due to the eccentrics that are installed, the paws are lowered, it begins to rise, well, that is, the paws, well, somehow, no, the paws are lowered at the same time, here it is lowered due to the eccentric the base moves, yeah , the base. it moves approximately 1.5-2 m, that's it, like this gradually, slowly and carefully, yeah, how much does this baby weigh at 700 tons, 700 tons, how much do these 700 tons move approximately per day, well , it varies, it all depends on the entry, right now at the moment there is 40 m of entry. here this arrow is running after me, and i'm trying to run away from the arrow, so where should i run, he's there, i'm here,

mom, do you understand that you are probably a tiny ant compared to this gigantic structure, you can't move it places, the excavator can dig a pit the size of a nine-story building, now on the head. on the head now will fly, on the internet it is written that 3.5 elephants fit in the bucket of this excavator, i don’t know about elephants, no one has checked this, but the fact that 25 people can easily fit in there, this is already a proven fact, listen, and what does it work from, it’s a diesel, it itself is electric, you can say an electric car, yes - which is powered by 6.00 in 6.00 in yes, and how is it connected to the cable? through the entire quarry, or what? no, electrification is presented in the form power lines, high-voltage, yeah, there's that little yellow box, at the moment

of movement, as the cable is dragged or, if it moves a short distance, it is simply dragged by the assistant driver, the line is disconnected, the movement is connected, pulling up all the cables in the electric gloves, and it does not save from such voltage the gloves must be corrected... attorneys, this is the main thing, yes, well , come on, my friend, tell me how you like it, let's do it the other way around, let's do it the other way around, i have no words, to be honest, seeing what is happening here, they all disappeared somewhere, i want to say one thing, what technology has come to, that's for sure, the quarry in mikoshevichi is the only place in europe where stone is

mined using blasting. the drilling rig specially prepares the soil for blasting operations. the drilling rig is probably the most important stage. i understand that this is the hole that the drill drills, right, for laying explosives, not a hole, a borehole, a borehole, in technical language it is, i apologize, and how deep, it all depends on the height of the pit, well, that's yours professional opinion, your professional view, here how much is 15-17 m, 15-17 m, absolutely right. water is already coming, yes, water is already coming, groundwater, it is already filling it, yes, absolutely right, how long does such a borer burn, it varies, from

twenty, well maybe even up to an hour, it all depends on the strength of the rock, from 20 minutes for 20 minutes, well, let's say, up to an hour, well, that's fast, what boys don't like remote -controlled cars, well, we always love it when it's small and drives really fast, here the speeds are not that high, but their size... takes its toll, the drilling rig moves from place to place, from well to well, with the help of a small control panel. the first and most important thing is not to come close, because the dust rises in a column, being nearby, well, it's just uncomfortable. and did you know that they shoot movies in the quarry, of course, here not only the scenery, but also the special effects are real. 1 2 3. turn on the master class exactly in a week

you will see what tourists do not. my mother, it feels like i got on a plane, oh, oh, it is impossible to communicate except with gestures and signs, and i will throw a punch, no, i shook it specifically, and here is the same principle of lambada, yes, here is the principle of lambada, just jumped on this conveyor belt, eyes immediately at 5 kopecks. he will immediately understand, let's go. and already we are going, going, going, i felt like such an important person that all this is personally for me, today the ukrainian authorities are ready to fight with everyone, if only to be on the payroll of washington and commit suicide.

there will be no more provocations, we are closely monitoring the situation and are ready to respond to any changes to it. stop provoking us, stop pulling our pigtails and testing our possible reaction. it is worth reminding our neighbors that the red line begins where the border of one state ends and our belarusian one begins. ksenia lebedeva's authorial view on the policy of double standards in the project is different. watch on

the belarus24 tv channel. we will introduce you to the people of our country, artist of the grodno regional puppet theater, an honored collective of the republic of belarus, a leading stage master. i was very pleased, of course, that such a rather short term, i was so, well and got medals for one title and the second here. they have many interesting stories behind them. i take a spoon or fork, i will attach a bow to it, and i begin to not just. as they say, to chat and move and move to the music, i begin, as she looks, and what she thinks, and are ready to surprise again again, here i was still a student, but was not yet a soloist of the odessa theater, but now i was already invited to perform the main part of the opera, evgenia, well, what is so good start, what is called one de, of course, i serve the theater, i serve in the theater, but i serve

the viewer. watch the project belarusy on the belarus 24 tv channel in belarus, in my opinion, a very rational and correct attitude to what is called the law. laws must certainly be observed by everyone, but there is a nuance: the head of state, for example, once said the same thing, sometimes nedozanov, a hurricane passed through belarus and it is necessary to quickly repair the building and ... there are two ways, the one that is prescribed in the laws, this is to agree with everyone, hold a tender and and so on and so forth, the one dictated by logic, it's raining, people don't have roofs in their houses, and they're bargaining, this is the desire to put logic in emergency situations, above some papers, this is one of

the reasons why alexander grigorievich is a leader... and not just a politician, he is ready to take responsibility along with the risks, and he does it regularly. igor turai's author's project, propaganda, watch on the belarus24 tv channel.
