Glavgosexpertiza of Russia (General Board of State Experts Review) issued a positive conclusion on the design documentation for the third and fourth stages of the construction of the Moscow-Vladimir-Nizhny Novgorod-Cheboksary-Kazan high-speed railway. The approved section of HSR has a length of 172 km and it has three way passenger stations: Noginsk-HSR, Orekhovo-Zuevo-HSR, and Petushki-HSR. The design results were carried out by the Russian-Chinese consortium of designers commissioned by High-Speed Rail Line, a subsidiary of Russian Railways.
These stages include a set of works to prepare the territory and to build a railway and related facilities of the section from Zheleznodorozhnaya station (Moscow region) to Vladimir HSR station (Vladimir region).
The design of the site was carried out taking into account the need to combine the construction of a high-speed railway and new sections of the M-7 “Volga” highway, bypassing the cities of Balashikha and Noginsk. Combining projects will allow better managing costs and minimizing the impact on the environment.
Railway engineering is designed to gain maximum train speed up to 400 km/h. Two main routes with a total length of 384 km have been designed. 100 km will be built using the technology of the railway superstructure of the track on ballast, 284 km using the technology of ballastless construction.
The railway track will be equipped with state-of-the-art communication and locking systems, GSM-R / DMR communication modules, thermal viewers, surveillance cameras. The overhead system of KS-400 will have a length of 471.8 km.
Also on the site, 151 engineering structures were designed, including 26 large and medium bridges, 10 elevated railway tracks and 8 underground tracks. The area of permanent land allocation will be about 2 thousand hectares. There are also engineering structures to pass field roads and the migration of wild animals.
RZD continues the implementation of the Moscow-Kazan HSR project. Currently, a consortium of design companies consisting of Mosgiprotrans, Nizhegorodmetroproekt and China Railway Eryuan Engineering Group Co. Ltd is rounding off the design work.
The length of the railway is 790 km and will allow trains to run at speeds of up to 360 km/h.
This year, technical solutions were adopted for all elements of the high-speed railway infrastructure for different speeds. A positive conclusion was received on the conduct of a public technological and price audit for the project documentation of the Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod section, performed by Ernst & Young.
