In Sevastopol, on Cape Khrustalny, the installation of the main metal structures of the opera and ballet theater has been completed.
In Kaliningrad, the construction of the supporting frame of the building of the Bolshoi Theatre branch on Oktyabrsky Island has been successfully completed. This stage has become the most important milestone in the implementation of the cultural and educational complex project. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
“On the instructions of the President, we are implementing a large-scale project to create cultural, educational and museum complexes in four Russian cities – Vladivostok, Kemerovo, Sevastopol and Kaliningrad. These unique objects, designed by leading architects and designers of international level, are real world-class cultural centers. They will include the best theaters, museums, concert halls and creative universities. The scale of the complexes is impressive – the total area exceeds 600 thousand square meters, which allows for up to 30 thousand visitors at a time. In particular, a branch of the Bolshoi Theater is being built in Kaliningrad, which has already celebrated its 249th anniversary. At the new facility in the cluster, the construction of the load-bearing monolith of the building has been completed, the façade is 94% ready,” said Marat Khusnullin.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the new theater has an original form, repeating the ballet rotation. The building is distinguished by a unique console 80 m long and 50 m high. Workers are currently working on the interior decoration of the premises and laying engineering systems.
The building will include three functional zones – a public space, a stage complex, and utility rooms. Two auditoriums will provide a capacity of 950 and 300 seats, respectively.
Within the framework of the project, which is being implemented as part of a large-scale cultural and educational complex, all work on the installation of reinforced concrete structures and the assembly of metal structures has been completed. The total volume of concrete laid was about 46 thousand cubic meters, and the mass of the assembled metal structures reached more than 6.2 thousand tons.
“We have completed the largest and most extensive stage of creating the building’s load-bearing monolith. Currently, we are creating more than 10 types of life support systems for the building inside the building, the area of which is almost 36 thousand square meters. Considering that they are all laid along different routes and intersect with each other, we can confidently say that the stage of installing utility networks is no less responsible and complex. We are also continuing work on installing the upper mechanization of the large and small auditoriums. In order to maintain the planned schedules, we work seven days a week, 24/7,” said Dmitry Rzhannikov, CEO of STG-Zapad.
The construction of a cultural and educational complex in Kaliningrad is part of a large-scale federal project to create four new cultural centers in Russia, initiated by President Vladimir Putin in 2018. The project is aimed at developing the cultural infrastructure of the regions and improving the quality of life of the population.
In addition, as part of the construction of cultural clusters in Sevastopol, the most important stage of the construction of the opera and ballet theater was successfully completed on Mys Khrustalny – the installation of the main metal structures was completed. As part of the work, the builders completed the unwinding – removed the safety supports from the canopy and the hovering pedestrian console.
It took specialists two years to install more than 15 thousand tons of metal. The project’s special feature is that each element of the metal structure is unique and not repeated. The technical characteristics of the hovering console are also impressive – it can withstand a load twice its own weight.
The innovative nature of the project is supported by the use of modern bridge-building technologies – the entire building is equipped with Russian hinged supports, which ensure the stability of the roof and compensate for possible structural movements.
