On the 7th, the first subway project undertaken by a Chinese company in Russia, the southwest section of the Third Interchange Ring Line of the Moscow Metro, ushered in the opening ceremony. Russian President Vladimir Putin attended the ceremony in the form of a video link on the same day and announced the opening of 10 stations on the third transfer ring line.

In 2017, China Railway Construction Co., Ltd. (CRCC) won the first Moscow Metro construction contract to undertake the construction of the southwest section of the third interchange ring line of the Moscow Metro, which included the construction of the main structure of 3 stations, 4 shield sections and 9 tunnels, with a total length of 5.4 kilometers.

Project manager Xue Liqiang told reporters: "I am a little excited today, first of all, I am proud of such a major project undertaken by China Railway Construction, and secondly, I am proud of the successful completion of the task of our entire management team. ”

Looking back on the construction process of this project, the five shield machines independently developed by China Railway Construction have been highly praised by the Moscow Academy of Engineering and the Russian staff for many times, and it is unanimously agreed that China's equipment performance is excellent, the tunneling speed is fast, and the quality of work is high.

According to reports, these 5 shield machines are targeted designed according to the characteristics of the long construction period of the Russian winter cold, and its main drive, hydraulic pump station, frequency converter and other auxiliary heating systems can withstand the low temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius, successfully coping with the extremely cold construction environment and ensuring the continuity of winter construction.

Konstantin Orlov, chief mechanic of the Moscow Metro Project of China Railway Construction, said that the shield machine independently developed by China Railway Construction is fully adapted to the tunnel boring work in Russia. China has its own characteristics in this field of research and development, and can produce high-quality shield equipment.

Nazarov is an employee of China Railway Construction Russia, who has studied Chinese for many years. He said: "I feel good about working at China Railway Construction and working closely with my Chinese colleagues. ”

The Moscow municipal government said that the Michurin Street station in the project adopts a "Chinese style" architectural style, which is to express gratitude to the Chinese side for the construction work. "This metro station is really different and very beautiful." Timur, the russian mayor of the Michulin Industrial District, praised the architectural style of the subway station.

It is reported that the southwest of Moscow has a high population density and high traffic pressure. After the project of the southwest section of the third interchange ring line is put into use, it will form an interchange with other lines of the Moscow Metro, which will greatly facilitate the travel of local people.
