The rest house for locomotive brigades (DLB), built according to the project of PJSC Lengiprotrans, is located at Babaevo station, which is located 351 km of the Volkhovstroy-Cherepovets railway line, in the western part of the Vologda region. The facility is intended for recreation of locomotive crews working in freight traffic on traction arms:
• Cherepovets - Vologda - Babaevo;
• St. Petersburg-Sorting-Moskovsky - Volkhovstroy - Babaevo.
The holiday house can accommodate 120 people at a time.
The DOLB complex has a complex configuration. The common building of the holiday home is composed of three buildings of different heights of various functional purposes, interconnected by technological connections and the necessary transport passages.
The DOLLB building consists of three buildings:
1. dormitory - a 4-storey building, with dimensions in the plan 54x15 m; 2. operation shop - a 2-storey building with dimensions in plan 36x15 m; 3. 1-storey dining room building, dimensions 42x15 m in plan.
From May to October 2013, surveys were carried out on the site, which were complicated by difficult conditions. For the possibility of equipment access, logging and construction of logs was carried out in order to install a drilling rig. In the course of the work, the physical and geographical characteristics of the area, engineering-geological and hydrogeological conditions, physical and mechanical characteristics of soils were described.
At the end of 2013, Lengiprotrans developed 7 variants of planning solutions for a holiday home. The latter was approved by the chief engineer of the Oktyabrskaya railway, and the institute began to develop design documentation. In 2014, adjustments were made to the project in order to optimize construction costs.
On May 8, 2015, a positive conclusion was received from the FAU "Glavgosexpertiza of Russia". In accordance with this, working documentation was developed.
In 2016–2017, field supervision over the construction of the facility was carried out on the basis of working documentation.
