The largest part of the project encompassed structures (underground passages, quay, bridge, overpass, noise barriers, retaining walls, underground water channel), for which separate parts of structures were being prepared. It took a long time to prepare, detail, coordinate, adapt, adapt to the discrepancies found by the contractor in the current location.
