The installation of sub-concrete under the foundations, pile caps, plinth beams is coming to an end, 125 columns out of 139 have been installed, over 3 thousand cubic meters of concrete have been poured. Engineering preparation and excavation of local soil are nearing completion.
The new production complex will allow to carry out:
- Combining wagons into a train with connection of communications.
- Simulating the operation of a locomotive in real conditions.
- High-voltage and low-voltage tests.
- Checking the tightness of inter-car passages.
- Monitoring the operation of water supply and sewerage systems of wagons.
