In the 1990s, Lengiprotrans developed a project for carriage wheel workshops at Novosokolniki station of the Oktyabrskaya Railway. The enterprise carries out overhaul, medium and current repairs of wheelsets with replacement of elements.
The facility was designed on the basis of the Novosokolniki car repair depot with the construction of a new production and service buildings. The calculated program for the repair of wheelsets with the change of elements amounted to 5 thousand wheelsets per year. The technology adopted provided for an in-line repair method. Here, for the first time, automated workstations (AWS) were equipped. The decisions made in the project made it possible in subsequent years to increase the volume of repair of wheelsets.
