Kazakhstan’s Minister of Emergency Situations Murat Mukhanov opened a new modular building at the Nizhnyaya Kamenka seismic station during a working visit to Almaty. The station is part of the National Scientific Center for Seismic Monitoring and Research of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

The station is in Almaty’s Nauryzbay district and has operated since 1979. Its former building was in unsatisfactory technical condition. A new modular structure was built as part of an upgrade to house equipment and provide suitable working conditions for staff.

The station conducts seismic, geophysical and hydrogeochemical monitoring. Specialists track ground movements and changes in the level and composition of groundwater.

One of Almaty’s 28 automated earthquake early-warning points is located at the station. Monitoring uses high-precision equipment, including a GNSS station and a digital accelerometer.

The upgrade is part of the ministry’s efforts to develop the country’s seismic monitoring infrastructure. The modernized station supports continuous observation, data collection on seismic activity and assessment of potential risks to public safety.
