Arkhangelsk Oblast is a region of The Russian Federation with the most developed forest industry. Here, it used advanced timber harvesting and sawmilling technologies. Arkhangelsk Oblast has a large territory. The area of the region is 330103 km2. The population density is low and amounts approx. 1.91 people per square kilometer. At the same time, about 80% is the urban population. The remaining 20% of the population lives in areas remote from the regional center. Due to a number of circumstances, the infrastructu...

In the Arkhangelsk Region of the Russian Federation, timber industry enterprises in the logistics of transporting round timber use various types of transport: road, rail, water (barges, timber transport units). Large timber processing facilities of the region are mainly located in the city of Arkhangelsk, which is located at the mouth of the Northern Dvina River. In recent years, water transport has been increasingly used to transport raw materials (round timber) from logging sites to processing plants. For the co...

Nowadays, in the Arkhangelsk region of the Russian Federation, the timber industry is under active development. A quantity of raw materials necessary for the increasing production capacities of timber processing enterprises show an annual increase. Roundwood removes from forest to limber mill by highway, train, water transport, barges and float boat (which, by the way, is one of the main types of transport). The timber processing enterprises on the river channel are equipped with pile piers which help floating tim...

Recently, the woodworking industry is increasingly paying attention to the effective use of wood in the production of consumer goods. The key point in resolving this issue was and remains the careful and economical use of harvested wood. Logging volumes in Russia, according to analysts of the timber industry complex, have declined everywhere by 2017, while in the North-West region they have reached 3%. One of the possible and promising areas for the effective use of wood is gluing. Glued wood is widely used in var...

In the Russian Federation, according to the United Nations, the area covered by forest is 8.5 million km?. Due to the available sufficient reserves of forest resources, the enterprises of the timber industry complex have developed significantly. In the conditions of a modern competitive economy, for the purpose of their further development, timber industry enterprises are forced to maintain investment activity at a high level, to optimize technological processes and modernize production equipment. The article pres...

The forest industry in the Russian Federation is actively developing. A large amount of material resources are invested in this industry. At the same time, technological and production equipment is being modernized, and the supply chains of forest products are optimized [1]. In the North-West Federal District of the Russian Federation in recent years, a large number of enterprises of the timber industry complex increase the volume of roundwood transportation by water transport, particularly in rafts [1,2]. To rece...

Large reserves of forest resources (according to UN estimates, the area of forests in the Russian Federation, is 8.5 million km?) have provided a significant development of the forest industry. Together with large investments in the timber industry complex, it became possible to optimize the technological processes, machines and equipment of enterprises. At the same time, it is also necessary to solve the issues of the most rational forest management. Sustainable forest management assumes limiting of the volume of...

The paper presents observations of solution of the sustainable forestry problem in terms of the Arkhangelsk region. One of the sustainable forestry guidelines is appropriate restraining of the forest harvesting. The volumes of logging in the Arkhangelsk region constitute about half of the allowable wood removal. One of the reasons of the harvesting volumes insufficiency is low density of forest roads network, therefore the accessible areas alongside the existing roads are depleted. The forest roads network should ...
