At present design institute JSC “Mosgiprotrans” has started the development of the design documentation for the Moscow-Kazan section of the Moscow-Kazan-Ekaterinburg High-Speed Rail Line (HSR-2). It should be noted that this mainline is a large infrastructure facility which is unique for our country. The safety of such facility obviously is a very important issue.
The Principal Project Engineer of the Department of Signaling, Centralization, Blocking and Communication Vitaly Levshunov and the Mosgiprotrans team head Roman Frolikov said:
“Speaking of the safety during design works, construction and exploitation of this facility, several groups of threats can be distinguished, namely: natural disasters; technological hazards (fires, accidents, failures); threats caused by human errors (behavior of the personnel, machinists, dispatchers); criminal activity (baggage theft, vandalism); acts of terrorism.
The railway integrated safety and security system is a unified system of technical means and actions aimed to protect all railway facilities (overpasses, bridges, viaducts, railway stations, service and engineering buildings, utility systems) against potential hazards. Due to the great amount of constituents, the issue of the integrated safety system is discussed by professionals longer than one year.
At carrying out their work, the design engineers are guided by the Town-planning code of the Russian Federation according to which the Government of the Russian Federation is considered as the only authority specifying requirements to the sections of the design documentation being furnished for expertise. Today, the maintenance of the design documentation concerning separate compartments of the integrated safety and security system is defined by Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation # 7 dated 16.02.2008. For example, Section 4 “Buildings, constructions and structures included in an infrastructure facility” specifies a requirement for maintenance of the design documentation concerning measures aimed to detect explosive devices and weapon, and Section 8 “Fire safety measures” provides description of the fire protection technical systems and reasonability of their use.
However, there is no general section on the design of the integrated safety and security system, and furthermore the requirements to the design documentation concerning the safety system of a facility as a whole were not specified.
In our opinion, due to the development of construction of such large and technically complex facilities as the Moscow-Kazan HSR-2 there is an increasingly need to introduce Section “The integrated safety and security system” into the design documentation. If the existing requirements to the content of the design documentation are unified, updated and completed it will make possible to develop design solutions within one section, make it easier to conduct the state expertise, decrease design costs and raise existing safety standards for passenger and cargo transportation”.
NOTE: “The design of HSR-2 in figures” 128 road overpasses (23,195 lm), 33 railway overpasses (3,453 lm), 67 service and engineering buildings and facilities, 12 railway stations capable to contain from 50 up to 7,000 people, 131 bridges. 49 viaducts, 12 stations, 17 dispatch stations, 17 regional situation centers, main and standby centers for control of the HSR transport safety.

Technical Security Equipment systems for the infrastructure and railway track of the high-speed rail line section Saint Petersburg - Finlayndsky - Roshchino - Gavrilovo (0-108 km) of the Saint Petersburg - Finlyandsky - Buslovskaya rail line.
Technical Security Equipment systems for the infrastructure and railway track of the high-speed rail line section Zavidovo - Klin - Podsolnechnaya - Skhodnya - Moscow (532-650 km) of the main railway line Saint Petersburg - Moscow.
Equipping the categorized facilities of State Unitary Enterprise “Moscow Metro” with the intellectual video surveillance system.
And other 42 facilities on the polygon of 16 railways of JSC Russian Railways.
NOTE: JSC “Mosgiprotrans”
Design and Survey Institute JSC “Mosgiprotrans” is one of the oldest in Russia.
JSC “Mosgiprotrans” started its activity in 1931. Moscow Design and Survey Bureau “Mostransproekt” established in 1935 was reorganized into Moscow State Design and Survey Institute “Mosgiprotrans” in 1951 and received status of JSC in 1993 as a result of privatization.
The history of the institute already covers 84 years and it is inseparably linked with the history of our country. During the 20th century the enormous work of the Mosgiprotrans staff had largely contributed the development of the regions distant from the capital. During the Great Patriotic War the facilities developed by the specialists of the institute played a major role in achieving the victory. In the postwar years destroyed railways, throughways, bridges, water supply sites, residential areas and some other facilities were reconstructed under the Mosgiprotrans’ projects. Mosgiprotrans was the General Designer of legendary Baikal-Amur Mainline Railway (BAM) and performed design and survey works in the very difficult conditions. These are only the most major milestones in the history of Mosgiprotrans.
Today JSC “Mosgiprotrans” is one of the largest Russian institutes specializing in various kinds of survey works and in design of transport facilities. Engineers of more than 40 specializations work in the institute and total number of the personnel is about 650 people.
The specialists of the institute develop complex projects on the construction of railways and motor roads, railway stations and hubs, locomotive and carriage facilities, civil, industrial and municipal buildings, communication systems, water-supply facilities, electrical supply and power supply systems; they implement projects on hydro-mechanical works, drilling and blasting operations and environmental protection.
The institute possesses high-tech equipment that allows conducting all kinds of engineering surveys including distance methods with the use of Global Positioning Satellite survey and Global Positioning Systems.
