Modular Design of Subway Facilities

The modern high rates of design and construction, innovative technologies and progress in up-to-date engineering equipment employed at subway facilities lead to developing unified hubs where all the problems connected with building technologies, performance of structures, and engineering equipment functioning and operation will be maximally correctly elaborated. One of the most topical ways of subway evolution under the above-mentioned conditions is to design the subway facilities by the “large-block assembling” method in which each facility (station complex, vestibule, near-tunnel structures) can be constructed from multifunctional blocks (modules).
