Fifth 'Wagon Corner' – Roads and infrastructure diagnostics

13 JUNE / 2022 / 14:06

Roads are among the most crucial infrastructure areas of the metro system. In a dedicated section discussing this, it's possible to gain a thorough understanding of the metro system's complexity and diversity in plan and profile through displays showcasing different models of track-switching devices, road equipment, superstructure elements, tools, and other samples. The foundation of the metro's safety, which is the diagnostic and metrological data base, is fully represented in this area. The operation of the diagnostic complex and the equipment for inspecting the road infrastructure, as well as indicators for checks on the main diagnostic parameters, serve as a detailed source of information about the metro as a rich, complex, and attention-demanding area.
In its own production area, the Baku metro has established a workshop based on the technologies of the German company "Vollert," where the production of reinforced concrete blocks, a first in Azerbaijan, is now widely used in the metro lines. The experience gained on the test track is currently being applied on the Purple Line's "Memar Əcəmi-B-3" home track and the main station track at "Xətai" station. The tunnels at the "Khocasan" depot are also being constructed on these blocks. The application of these blocks, which replace wooden sleepers, the construction of railways with new methods and techniques, and the mastering of maintenance for new types of superstructure elements will play a significant role in the Training and Education Center in terms of staff training and development.
