More Light

The works on installation of lights that will provide passage for natural light into the future premises for art exhibition have started in the General Staff Building.

The premises are ready and cable channels for installation of transformer boxes at the Moika Embankment, 39, have been laid. The total amount of concrete for monolithic constructions - blankings and arches - is equal to 1,300 cubic metres. 2,400 cubic metres of soil have been picked from the basements of the General Staff Building along the Moika Embankment and along Bolshaya Morskaya Street.

The repair works and brick vaults enhancement are completed along the Moika Embankment; the foundation is also enhanced. Preparation works for major repairs are in progress: dismantling of the late unhistorical constructions subject to removal (such as straight arches, temporary walls and vault applications) is completed.
