Base of lifting repair of wagons in Avtovo

База подъемочного ремонта вагонов в Автово

Avtovo is the station of the Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya line of the Petersburg metro.

The department of factories (now part of the OPGS) of Lengiprotrans took an active part in the design of the ground facilities of the Petersburg Metro. In connection with the development of metro lines, the institute designed a base for lifting carriages at the Avtovo station in the 1950s. In the course of the work, all new technologies for the repair of subway cars were introduced, which are used at the Moscow metro and the Sokol subway car repair plant.
