In September 1950 the Gigant section of the Skoda :fork in 7ouc:levice began
production of steel bridges, mobile cranes,9 turbogererators and trans.~ormorU0
the plant employs about 1,00 employees and works on a three-shift scheculo
The building of Gigant is of reinforced concrete with skylights built into
the corrugated iron roof. It is separated from the main part of the Doudlevice
plant by the Pilsen-.Zelozna Pucla railroad line, but is to be connected to it
in the near future by a tunnel
The plant is divided into five production departments: the lathe departrient,,
copper slz.ithy, turbo~,onerator production department, bridge section dcpart-
rient, and a fifth section ruhich is not yet in production. The main production
of the plant is of bridges, the majority of which are exported to the USS ,
To the present time, the mobile c rands produced in this section arc for the
use of the Skoda 'forks only. The lathe department finished turbogenerator
rotors and stators from forgi ngs supplied by the main plant while the copper
smithy produces coils and other parts. The coils arc delivered to the main
plant ,There they arc insulated and where the turbogenerators are asoembled0
