Military railway workers of the Eastern Military District are working on the excavation of the roadbed, despite a significant drop in air temperature in the construction area on the reconstruction site of the Baikal-Amur Mainline.

At the moment, the total volume of excavated rocky soil is over 130 thousand cubic meters.

The work is being carried out according to the schedule, in some areas ahead of schedule.

The military personnel perform excavation slope grading with the additional involvement of heavy equipment, such as heavy bulldozers equipped with openers, which blast the soil with their "penetration", after which it is excavated by excavators.

At the same time, military railway workers carry out large-scale preparation of rocky soil in quarries to speed up the construction of the embankment.

On the section from Ulak station to Verkhnezeysk station, soils of different properties and strength characteristics abound.

In connection with this feature, the construction of the embankment of the roadbed requires special care and strict adherence to the adopted design decisions for the construction of embankments on permafrost.

Also, since the beginning of the reconstruction of the BAM on the section of the Eastern Military District, more than 50 kilometers of roadside roads have been equipped, for which more than 155 cubic meters of rocky soil have been used.

In connection with the increase in traffic density, travel speeds, weights and train lengths, it becomes necessary to improve the design of the railway track.

One of the ways to ensure its reliable operation is the use of geosynthetic materials. Therefore, servicemen in their work will use modern technologies using geotextiles in the construction of railway tracks and new modern materials for rail and sleepers.
