Vladimir Volkov, First Deputy Director General of DiM JSC (a member of GC NPS, JSC), spoke about the prospects and difficulties involved in the construction of Moscow – St. Petersburg high-speed railway at the Business Infrastructure Initiatives Forum.
According to Vladimir Volkov, “The high-speed railway will be a real challenge for builders. The construction of the roadbed will require special engineering solutions due to the complex geological conditions between Moscow and St. Petersburg. At certain stages, a lot of extra people and equipment will have to be engaged. Moreover, the project has pretty tight deadlines. GC NPS, JSC is well-positioned to perform such tasks, has necessary resources and competencies".
Vladimir Volkov also noted that the construction of the high-speed railway will give an additional impetus to the development of the regions through which it will run. Business Infrastructure Initiatives Forum is a platform that provides a venue for heads of federal authorities and development institutions, and infrastructure market leaders to discuss the most pressing construction issues in Russia.
