Petersburg Metrostroy received new equipment from the Obukhov Plant for the construction of stations and the laying of tunnels.
The batch includes two tunnel-boring shields with a diameter of 5.6 meters, two rail layers, and 19 vehicles for installing tunnel blocks. All equipment is made in Russia.
The equipment is planned to be used on the Krasnoselsko-Kalinin line of the metro between the stations "Karetnaya" and "Putilovskaya". One of the shields, named "Vera", has already begun to be assembled at a depth of 60 meters. It will lay a tunnel from "Putilovskaya" to "Karetnaya".
Russian equipment helps to build the metro without delays. By the end of 2025, it is planned to open the section from "Yugo-Zapadnaya" to "Putilovskaya" with a transfer to "Kirovsky Zavod". In total, ten new stations will appear in St. Petersburg by 2030, the construction of which is underway on five lines simultaneously.
