On 10 September 2018, CPC General Director Nikolay Gorban and Head of the Republic of Kalmykia Alexey Orlov inaugurated an Additional Education Center for 250 students in the Iki-Burul village.
The Additional Education Center is designed to teach various cultural activities in off-school time and to create conditions for learning the skills of group and interpersonal communication and social adaptation of schoolchildren.
It took nine months to construct a 1066 m² two-storey building, using modern easily erected structures.
The building exterior is decorated with national ornamental patterns of the Republic of Kalmykia. The interior is designed to meet the fire safety, sanitary and esthetic requirements, as applicable to each room.

Purchase was made of a modular boiler house with a backup power supply source, a transformer substation. Tanks for storage and accumulation of water, an individual septic tank with a treatment system were installed.
The first floor features a hall, auditorium, ballet classes, utility and other rooms. The second floor accommodates a village history museum, choir class and other premises.
In front of the façade there is a recreation area with a park – lawn, flower garden, trees and bushes adapted to the local conditions.
The Consortium allocated RUR 93 million for designing and construction of the Center, procurement of all required furniture and concert equipment.
For reference:
The CPC pipeline system is one of the largest investment projects with foreign capital in the energy sector in the CIS. The length of Tengiz-Novorossiysk pipeline is 1,511 km; more than two thirds of all export crude oil from Kazakhstan and crude oil from the Russian fields, including those in the Caspian Region, are transported by this route. CPC Marine Terminal is equipped with three Single Point Moorings (SPM) that allow to load tankers safely at a significant distance offshore, also in poor weather conditions.
