Trust SAEM was created during the Great Patriotic War on November 16, 1942. The order went forth of the People’s Commissariat of Power Plants of the USSR No. 18 8 / A as a part of Glavpromenergomontazh based on the Central Asian branch of the Sibenergomontazh.
Trust began business processes on January 1, 1943, after all employees of the Central Asian branch of Sibenergomontazh were transferred to it.
In 1943 Trust SAEM put in service 9.13 thousand kW of electric power and six boilers with a total steam capacity of 103 t / h with a unit maximum of 6 MW and 60 t / h of steam.
Trust SAEM developed dramatically.
In the space of 2 years about thirty casting sequences were created in Khanabad, Khilkovo, Yangiyul, Frunze, Chimkent, Angren, Kokand, Chirchik and in other settlements.
During the war, Trust workers were engaged in construction and installation works at such facilities as agriculture machinery works in Tashkent and Frunze, the oil extraction plant at the Katta-Kurgan station, the cement plant at the Khilkovo station, sugar factories at the Yangiyul and Kokand stations, the tannery-extract plant at Khanabad station, metallurgic plants at the Angren and Chirchik stations, the coal trust Stalinugol at the Angren station, the Belovodsk Sugar Plant CHP, the Aktobe plant and many other facilities.
Tovkach Dmitry Mironovich was the chief executive officer of Trust. He was appointed Trust executive director on January 3, 1943 by order of the USSR People’s Commissariat of Power Plants. Trishin Alexei Mikhailovich replaced him on September 15, 1943, but he also did not work for long in Trust. Zhuravlev M.N. was appointed executive director of Trust SAEM August 28, 1944.
Trust SAEM number of staff members in 1942-1943 was about 420 people.
A housing construction began in 1945. It was carried out to provide housing for Trust administration officials and the main career people of the line personnel.
In 1951 Trust Sredasenergomontazh management was transferred to Alma-Ata city, being transformed into Trust Kazakhenergomontazh.
Ivanov V.M. was appointed Trust executive director. Ievlev Gleb Ivanovich replaced him in 1957.
And in 1958 Trust was again renamed as Trust Sredazenergomontazh.
In the 1950s Trust began equipment installation at thermal power stations such as Oskemen CHP, Aktobe CHP, Alma-Ata CHP-1, Leninogorsk CHP, Ekibastuz CHP, Semipalatinsk CHP-1, Ural CHP, Balkhash CHP, Angren GRES, CHP in Kentau city, Frunzenskaya CHP, Ferghanskaya CHP, boiler houses and industrial enterprises CHP in Central Asia and Kazakhstan, Karaganda GRES-1 and CHP-1, Zhezkazgan CHP, Shymkent CHP-1 and CHP-2.
We mounted equipment for medium pressure, boilers with a capacity of 35-110 t / h and turbo generators with a capacity of 6-12 MW.
Installation departments, start and adjustment sections of Trust were created because of the work area expansion. There are Karaganda installation department (1947), Alma-Ata construction and installation department (1950), Alma-Ata self-financing start and adjustment section (1952), Pavlodar installation management (1957).
Trust SAEM staff took an active part in the Socialist competition. They periodically challenged each other to the competition, and the winners were awarded a considerable money prize.
All-Union Socialist Competition winners were determined by monthly decisions of the Government and Party departments.
Before 1958, Trust Sredazenergomontazh took the second place twice and the third place six times in this competition. This was considered one of the highest achievements.
In 1960 Trust SAEM participated in the Ermakovskaya GRES construction (Aksu Power Station), one of the first large power stations in the Soviet Union with supercritical-pressure boilers. The boilers capacity was 2,400 MW. Its first 300 MW electrical power unit was released on December 17, 1968. Trust SAEM specialists also installed the next seven power units, which were included in the network from 1969 to 1975. Pavlodar CHP, Karaganda CHP, Alma-Ata, Tashkent and Syrdarya stations were also built with the participation of Trust SAEM specialists. The company released 6 electrical power units of the big Novoangrenskaya GRES in Uzbekistan. Each power unit was 300 MW.
In 1964 Installation Department Sredazenergomontazh of Trust Sredazenergostroy was reorganized into State Union Central Asian Trust for the thermomechanical equipment installation. This was done in order to specialize the installation work on the thermal power stations construction in Central Asia and Kazakhstan. Then it came under to Glavteploenergomontazh of the Ministry of Energy and Electrification of the USSR.
By the chairman’s order of the USSR State Production Committee on Energy and Electrification, the following organizations were transferred to Trust Sredazenergomontazh: the joint casting sequence in Tashkent, Frunzensky casting sequence, Alma-Ata casting sequence, Abaysky casting sequence, Oskemen casting sequence, Pavlodar casting sequence, Alma-Ata factory of boiler accessories and pipelines, design office of the Installation Management Sredazenergomontazh of Trust Sredazenergostroy.
In order to train newly hired workers and improve the mounters qualifications, we established a Training center in our Trust system in 1965. Hundreds of workers and engineers of all installation specialties were trained at the Training Center. This provided the quality improving of installation works performed by Trust.
Trust Sredazenergomontazh car pool was organized for transportation in Alma-Ata, June 1, 1966. This year Trust had 48 trucks and every year the number of vehicles increased by 3-4 cars. Trust Sredazenergomontazhizolyatsiya demerged and became an independent team in 1966. The company executes heat insulation work and chemical equipment protection work.
In 1969, the project-engineering department demerged and became a subdivision of the Moscow Institute Energomontazhproekt of the USSR Ministry of Energy.
The factory of non-standard boiler accessories and pipeline blocks production demerged in 1973.
The construction of Ekibastuz GRES-1 began in 1974. This is a huge station with 8 power units, 500 MW each. Trust SAEM delivered their work in record time: two blocks in 1980, 1981 and 1983. One block was built in 1982 and one in 1984.
Several installation departments were created during this period: Dzhambul installation department (1965), Ekibastuz heat installation work department (1977), Novo-Angren installation department in Nurabad, Republic of Uzbekistan (1985). Since 1979 a lot of Trust Sredazenergomontazh specialists have participated in construction and installation works at production sites in many countries. There were Ramin CHP (Iran), Choibalsantesstroy Building & Construction Department, Trust Mongolenergostroy, CHP-4 in Ulan Bator (Mongolian People's Republic), CHP in Skopje (Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia), Havana CHP, Rente CHP, Punta Gorda CHP (Republic of Cuba), Gooddu CHP (Islamic Republic of Pakistan), Falai CHP (Socialist Republic of Vietnam), CHP in Ajaokuta (Nigeria), Sirte CHP (Libya), Kozloduy CHP (Bulgaria), Amindeon CHP (Greece), Aden CHP (Yemen), CHP-NP3 in Assaba (Ethiopia), Tishrin CHP (Syria), Gizhel CHP (Algeria), Gorozal CHP (Bangladesh), Kahalgaon CHP (India) and others.
By the end of the eighties, Trust Sredazenergomontazh had eleven installation departments, a commissioning department and a process equipment department and about five thousand employees. The total commissioning of generating capacities was about one million kilowatts per year and steam generators with a total capacity of 3.5-4 thousand tons of steam per hour. The mounted turbo generator capacity reached 500 thousand kW, and the capacity of mounted steam generators increased to 1600 tons of steam per hour.
The 1990s of the twentieth century became a difficult period for Trust SAEM. This was due to the economy de-industrialization. Electricity industry financing completely stopped. Trust Sredazenergomontazh staff decreased by five and a half times. But despite the difficulties, the Ekibastuz fuel and energy complex creation continued. The Ekibastuz GRES-2 was created. Its first block was included in the network on December 25, 1990. Trust managed to create the second block of Ekibastuz GRES-2 with a 500 thousand kW capacity in 1993.
Then Trust changed its area of business and specialized in repair work, and later on stations modernization.
In 1991 Trust became Rental Trust Sredazenergomontazh in a system of Ministry of Energy and Fuel Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan. This was done upon a staff conference decision.
In 1993 Rental Trust was reorganized and registered as Trust Sredazenergomontazh and became a limited liability partnership.
Trust customers were Ekibastuz CHP-1, Pavlodar CHP-1 and CHP-2, Zhezkazgan CHP, two Ispat Karmet stations in Temirtau, Aksu CHP (formerly Ermakovskaya GRES). A 100 MW gas turbine and a 30 MW steam turbine were installed in Aktyubinsk.
Over a ten-year period, Trust Sredazenergomontazh has been reorganized several times and changed its form of ownership. In 1995 Trust became an open joint stock company, but in 1999 it became a public corporation.
Over the years, montage department part remained on the territory of other states, the other was reorganized. Concerning the fact that there was no need for new energy sources due to the closure of numerous industrial enterprises, Trust company staff continued to work on commissioning new facilities and installing equipment.
A gas turbine with a 100 thousand kW capacity in Aktobe, steam turbines in Uralsk and Kyzylorda, a steam turbine with a 110 thousand kW capacity at Bishkek CHP, an experimental turbine unit PSU-37 in Aktobe, a turbine unit PT-65/75 at CHP-TBS in Temirtau were installed and put into operation from 1995 to 2005.
A shareholder's meeting of Trust Sredazenergomontazh was held in 2005. Trust was re-registered due to the alteration of description to Joint-Stock Company Trust Sredazenergomontazh.
Thanks to foreign investments, installation work has stepped up in the northern regions of the country. Today, Trust Sredazenergomontazh core activity is concentrated there. Since 2005, Trust Sredazenergomontazh JSC specialists have hooked up turbo generators with a 862 MW total capacity, steam boilers with a total capacity of 2 720 tons of steam per hour and water boilers with a total capacity of 940 Gcal / h at Nur-Sultan CHP-1, CHP-2, Petropavlovskaya CHP-2 and Pavlodar CHP-3.
