According to Marat Rakhimov, the general director of the AO “Kazmetrostroy”, the completion of all works is planned by the end of the year.

M. Rakhimov said that the work was completed on the construction of monolithic station structures in the amount of 27 thousand 209 cubic meters of concrete (vestibules №1, 2, platform area, ventilation unit, etc.). Now the finishing and installation works are in full swing at the metro station “Dubravnaya”. “After that, it is necessary to starting-up and adjustment the equipment, providing constant power supply, so that everything can be tested in the operating mode”, he said.

Ilsur Metshin, accompanied by Marat Rakhimov, Asfan Galyavov, the general director of the MUE “Metroelectrotrans”, and Andrey Lobov, the head of the Vakhitovsky and Privolzhsky districts’ administration, went down into one of the station's vestibules and the platform where the finishing works are underway. Workers are cladding the walls and floors of the station, in addition, they are installing heating, ventilation, and sewerage. The AO “Kazmetrostroy” and the OOO “PSO “Kazan” carry out works on the site. Part of the work related to video surveillance systems, access control, payment of travel, fire alarm, and a number of others, at the facility are carried out by the MUE “Metroelectrotrans”. In addition, the company will improve the territory above the metro station “Dubravnaya” after the completion of underground work.

Also, the Mayor inspected the office premises, stairways (5 entrances are planned at the station), lift shafts, which are equipped for low-mobility groups of the population. The work is underway to build monolithic structures for a prospective transition to the second line, the remaining staircase station gatherings, and a prospective exit to the second line (the volume of monolithic reinforced concrete structures is 723 cubic meters of concrete).
