Renovation of local transport infrastructure
KAZ Minerals is dedicated to improving the lives of residents and communities in the areas where it operates and over recent years the Group has funded various projects aimed at developing, repairing, and enhancing infrastructure, contributing towards the wellbeing of local populations.
As part of this wider initiative, in 2024 KAZ Minerals completed the first major renovation of the Pavlodar Railway Station since its establishment in 1981. This comprehensive overhaul, which began in August 2023, was completed in nine months, transforming the station into a modern, accessible and passenger friendly facility.
The project involved a full renovation of the station’s exterior and significant upgrades were made inside the station to improve passenger convenience and operational efficiency. The station now benefits from seven ticket offices, a spacious waiting room, a children’s play area, a zdedicated area for laptop use, as well as ample storage facilities, creating a welcoming environment for all visitors.
A major focus of the renovation was improving accessibility for passengers with limited mobility, with specially designed lifts installed. A detailed information and navigation system has been implemented to aid visually impaired visitors, including tactile strips, a mimic diagram and dedicated ticket terminals for ease of access.
Historical photos showcasing the station’s rich history have been displayed, allowing passengers to connect with the past while experiencing the station’s new, modern amenities.
The Pavlodar railway station serves nine intrarepublican routes, with average annual passenger traffic of around 500,000 people. The renovation has significantly enhanced the station’s convenience and appeal, benefiting this key transportation hub for passengers across the country.
The upgraded facilities and infrastructure in the Pavlodar railway station will allow it to serve the needs of its passengers for many years to come. KAZ Minerals’ commitment to improving community infrastructure through this project highlights its role as a responsible corporate citizen, aiming to enhance the lives of local residents and to contribute to the development of vital public spaces. KAZ Minerals is proud to contribute to the development of future generations and to support the growth of the community.
