In the permafrost: Russia revives the secret project of the USSR

82
The Great Northern Railway Line will be demobilized, rebuilt and modernized. The formerly secret Soviet railway project, launched by Stalin himself and dubbed “501 Construction”, will connect Chukotka with the Barents Sea.

The polar highway was conceived in 1928 year, but its construction began only 20 years later, after the end of World War II. In the world there was a rivalry between two mighty powers, and Stalin was very concerned about the possible landing of an enemy assault force on the uncovered northern shores.



Before 1953, more than 900 kilometers of railway were built in extremely difficult climatic conditions. After the death of the leader, under the amnesty, tens of thousands of prisoners who worked at the facility fell. 25 March 1953 was ordered to suspend the construction and conservation of the Great Northern Railway Track.

Today, in addition to the military necessity of reviving the project, an economic one has been added.

        Well, start with the fact that it’s most likely that they will build railway vehicles. And they have an order - the law. And who will work on the account, as I understand it, the work will be on a rotational basis. Put a good salary, benefits and people will go

            What ceiling did you get such salaries from? High-voltage power lines are currently under construction in Chukotka. I won’t say it for everyone, but my colleagues, surveyors and engineers, receive from 120 thousand a month on engineering surveys and construction support. Watch 3 \ 1 (3 months field \ month at home) Standard conditions: travel from home to the facility and back, accommodation, three meals a day and overalls at the expense of the employer ...

            Here IT is just pretty easy to restore. It’s harder to remove the rails, too much manual work. The soil is sand, taken without drilling. The slopes are gentle, it is easy to cut technological roads and shelves. In addition, the embankment has settled down and there will be no such serious subsidence in the future.

              In high latitudes, in permafrost, the big problem is the warming effect on the soil of various structures and embankments. From this the soil begins to walk. And the photo is not just a subsidence of the soil, but the unpredictable reaction of the permafrost to the embankment and no one will guarantee that there will not be any new movements in this place. Permafrost has not disappeared. That is the problem. Therefore, for example, railways on Bovanenkovo ​​were built on piles, and Norilsk was practically all on piles with a blown zero cycle. However, it is possible to recover with modern construction technologies. And they’ll rebuild something. Good luck!

      Is it worth it? It is better to upgrade existing ports in Murmansk and Arkhangelsk so that they can accept any ships. Landing an enemy assault in the Arctic and moving it further inland is an almost impossible task, even if no one shoots at them. In the event of war, the American UDC will become easy prey for our nuclear submarines and Tu-22M3, and the landing will feed the polar bears.

        What "any" do you dream of driving to Arkhangelsk? North Dvina (Arkhangelsk - estuary port) in Soviet times had a dredging volume comparable to the Volga. Severodvinsk is not good for you? Murmansk already transports the wild volume of coal for export. I don’t think that there are problems with “any ships,” on the contrary, it accepts ocean vessels.

          And then why lie, we all know how to read the Old.
          Nevertheless, I decided to find out the truth and see how many villages were actually liquidated.
          During the time between censuses, the number of cities and urban-type settlements decreased by 554 and in total amounts (as of October 14, 2010) 2386 urban settlements. The decrease was due to the following reasons: 413 urban-type settlements were converted into rural settlements, 127 - included in the line of other urban settlements, 14 - were eliminated in connection with the departure of residents. The number of rural settlements decreased by 2164

          (13 086) 153 125
          (19 439)
          In general, losses under Putin are quite insignificant 2,2 thousand settlements.
          And what happened to Putin. Between the censuses of 1989 and 2002, the total number of rural settlements, according to the Federal State Statistics Service, increased by 2367, or 1,5%, but no one lived in 13086 settlements (8,4% of the total) at the time of the 2002 census . At the same time, the Federal State Statistics Service did not explain whether such settlements were taken into account in previous population censuses, but the number of settlements in which no more than 5 people live almost doubled from 1989-2002 (from 16925 to 32997, including settlements in which no one lived at the time 2002 census). That is, my first estimate is correct, but everyone else is lying godlessly.
          Over 20 years, about 15,5 thousand villages were destroyed. Of which under Putin only 2,2 thousand.
          Of course, the numbers are not good, but can admirers of the USSR blame Putin for this. Let's see how things were with the villages in the USSR.

          The distribution of rural settlements in Russia by the number of inhabitants, according to censuses, thousands of settlements
          Khrushchev
          Disastrous for the village was the settlement of “unpromising” villages that began in the 1950s and became the realization of the idea expressed by Khrushchev under Stalin about agricultural towns in the countryside. The idea was reanimated at the December (1959) plenary session of the Central Committee, which called for the development of “schemes of district and on-farm planning.” The recommendations of the USSR Academy of Construction and Architecture, issued in 1960, said: "It is recommended that the existing settlements of collective farms and state farms be divided into two groups - promising and unpromising." By the end of Khrushchev’s state activity, 139 thousand villages (13 per day) disappeared in Russia. Well, in the period between the censuses of 1959 and 1989, the number of rural settlements was almost halved - from 294059 to 152922.

          Now there are rural settlements, even more than in the RSFSR. 153 125. (indeed 15,5 thousand of them are non-residential) Of course, it is difficult for Putin to prevent the disappearance of villages with three grandmothers, they just brought the villages to this state precisely in the USSR.

          During the reign of GDP, more than 34000 villages disappeared and this continues to fly down a rapid level.

          There is such a natural process - urbanization is called, and now it is going on. For reference, I live in a village, our population peak was in the 70s, after the village population has been steadily declining. During this time, fell from about 18 thousand to 8-9 thousand today. Well, yes, maybe Putin already felled the villages then ... There are objective reasons for the bending of the village - the development of technology.
          Yes, there is such a trend as a decrease in the population, this is a global trend in countries with a more or less prosperous population.

        villages along the road will not appear. A village is an agricultural settlement. oil industry towns - yes. military camps, mines in the mountains ... But to build a hundred icebreaking ships will be cheaper than the railway. Therefore, its only justification is defense needs.

      build, of course, you can. Moreover, there is no need to work much manually now. And for industry, you can make an order for the manufacture of means of mechanization. But you have to put almost the entire road on stilts like bridge crossings. Otherwise, permafrost will melt and the road will drown. And so it will be possible on the contrary, to strengthen permafrost. About 30 tons of metal per km of road, 000 million tons per 2000 km. Our metallurgy is now loaded with 60 percent - in a year we can do everything. And, again, you can reconstruct it for such orders.

          Yes, the figure is probably overpriced at 30 tons / meter. But if you stand as in the photo of the railway Bovanenkovo-Okskaya, then the consumption will be somewhere around that.

          Another thing is that, probably, there are quite a few places where it can be laid on the ground.

      Interesting, but you can’t freeze a mound of ice? Construction becomes very simple: in the spring, scoop the track with a bulldozer to the frozen soil, cover it with a foam blanket. Next winter, put the motor pumps, yes pump water, fill in like a skating rink. Lightweight bulldozer for boning. Layer by layer, during the winter, two or three meters can be easily frozen. To freeze along the road a pile of piles with kerosene every couple of meters so that the winter cold can be stored up, and it should be frozen at night ... Pour sand and gravel over ice under the sleepers as needed, and line the same foam between the rails and over the sleepers. It is necessary to calculate the heat capacity of such an embankment, and heat loss during the northern summer - it can and does. Then make an experimental section with a dozen km: 2 000 000 tons of water from the nearest river, 10 000 piles with kerosene, 600 000 square meters of polystyrene. Perhaps, instead of polystyrene, it will be possible to partially use the removable tundra soil, but this should be considered. The top of the embankment will still have to be covered with foam.
      .
      Unfortunately, the ice is flowing. therefore, as you do not build a road in permafrost, it will fail sooner or later. But a frozen embankment can be easily repaired by freezing new layers. Make a mound into three ruts, and remove one of the three ruts every year, gravel with sand and rake and freeze a new layer of ice ... Fifty years later, the mound will spread a hundred meters wide and its degradation will become very slow.
      .
      The idea requires calculation and experimental verification.

        In my opinion it would be better to revive the Ministry of Civil Aviation. And then you have to fly from Siberia to the Far East through Moscow, Moscow has raked everything under it. to build and maintain a couple of kilometers of runway is probably cheaper than a couple of hundred pieces of iron. In Siberia, villages are dying due to lack of transport accessibility, In the union in each village across the Ob there was a strip, although dirt but planes flew, Now they are crazy about superjets and completely abandoned small aircraft, Zhelezka can pay for itself only with constant load. But something I do not see such volumes of cargo that will load the road. In the years 70-71, vehicles and pipes for the construction of the Aleksandrovskoye-Anzhero-Sudzhensk pipeline were transported on AN 22 aircraft. And it turned out to be more profitable than building a piece of iron or a highway. Later, they started to build a highway, and they have been building it for over 30 years now. The only justification is that this piece of iron is much shorter and further from the border,

            That's why I started talking about the Ministry of Civil Aviation, and it is even possible to nationalize civil aviation. Due to the redistribution of funds, it will be possible to compensate for the costs of unprofitable routes. In general, civil aviation was quite cost-effective. It is up to the state husbands to think either to drive the whole crowd to Moscow, or to take care of the population in the province.

      The Northern Latitudinal Railway railway is very necessary. By the way, almost half of it has already been built, Gazprom is driving along it, and it serves it .. In the future, this road needs to be extended to the Norilsk strategic city.
      Now, the development of this road is hampered by the lack of a bridge across the Ob, in summer the cars are ferried, and in winter a temporary path is laid right on the ice. First of all, you need to build this bridge.

      What "any" do you dream of driving to Arkhangelsk? North Dvina (Arkhangelsk - estuary port) in Soviet times had a dredging volume comparable to the Volga. Severodvinsk is not good for you? Murmansk already transports the wild volume of coal for export. I don’t think that there are problems with “any ships,” on the contrary, it accepts ocean vessels.

      Good evening everyone! The author is clearly not a builder, so he could not explain normally, and many commentators simply can not understand why they say they object. The railway is a linear object. As a builder, I can say that the most difficult part in building a linear long-range object is to select an allotment strip for it (in this case, this is a huge section of the design documentation, which includes a huge amount of geodetic and geological surveys). This is such a job, the result of which should make it possible to build a linear object in the shortest possible time, at the lowest cost, with maximum effect and minimum payback period. It was such work that was carried out during the USSR. We can safely say that if this work was carried out during the reign of Comrade Stalin, then the quality of its implementation is probably out of the question, given the fact that everyone was responsible for quality to Comrade Beria. It is clear that 900 km of the once constructed railway road is now rubbish. To revive this project using the work of ancestors is not difficult at all. They will quickly make fresh surveys of the finished track, reconcile them with the old ones, and then adjust the project to take into account the new ones. tasks, will make working documentation and build a bright future ahead.

      The Chinese built a road to Tibet. There are also areas with permafrost that cannot be thawed. So they applied several advanced scientific solutions, down to heat transfer tubes and special embankment material, in order to preserve permafrost. Our railway troops simply pour crushed stone, hand over the object, and the consequences come, as in the above photos. No expressway will succeed. The speed will be 25 km per hour and not 300. The century before last! And money, as someone already guessed, Rotenbergs will capitalize.

      The North is the future, where the main hydrocarbons will be extracted and the road made using modern technologies is possible, and the benefits are obvious. If Stalin had not made a start, then there would have been many doubts, and most importantly, 900 km of embankment is 50% of the work.

      To get started, look at a similar construction - the Chinese high mountain road.
      The Chinese in five years and $ 3 billion have built a road that runs on permafrost over a 550-kilometer stretch.
      Inquisitive people can learn for themselves how the Chinese solve the problem of summer thawing.
      Our latitudinal passage should be located in even more unfriendly and difficult places.
      Distance 5000 km.
      If we managed to hold the Olympics for $ 30 billion, then what this project will cost us.
      It’s scary to even think.
      One thing remains - to invite the Chinese.

      Stalin didn’t just build anything, and if it hadn’t been for Nikita, he’d built up this strategic and necessary road for the country in all respects, and eventually would have brought it to mind. My grandfather worked in 503 construction department, which led the way from the Yenisei. I remembered that all the builders perceived the cessation of construction as pure sabotage, people did not want to leave, because they paid well and the conditions were normal by the standards, the prisoners had three days, the feeding was normal and the prisoners and security they ate from one boiler, about hundreds of thousands of victims, some executions, the real nonsense, the guard performed its functions nominally, kept order more, there was simply nowhere to run and nothing to do. People certainly died, but like everywhere else, from diseases, accidents, poisoning, once, as the grandfather told me, 46 people died immediately, some rubbish got drunk. Now they will find some kind of mass burial, immediately the victims of the regime, people died of course, but this is by no means hundreds of thousands, as the biased scribblers.
