В советское время здесь располагалось Министерство транспортного строительства, затем — Корпорация «Трансстрой», один из первых акционеров компании. Более 13 лет здесь находился и Центральный офис САО «ГЕФЕСТ». HIGH-RISE BUILDING AT KRASNYE VOROTA One of Stalin’s 'Seven Sisters' was among the first properties insured by GEFEST. In the Soviet time it housed the Ministry of Transport Construction to be replaced afterwards by the Transstroy Corporation, one of GEFEST's first shareholders. GEFEST's headquarters also resided here for over 13 years. ЛИДЕРСТВО По данным агентства «Эксперт-РА», по итогам 2008 года САО «ГЕФЕСТ» заняло 1-е место в рейтинге лидеров страхования строительных рисков в России. Компания стала лауреатом национальной страховой премии «Золотая саламандра» в номинации «Лидер страхования имущества юридических лиц-2008». LEADERSHIP According to Expert RA agency, GEFEST ranked first among CAR insurance leaders in Russia in 2008. The Company won the Golden Salamander national insurance award as a leader in corporate property insurance in 2008. СТРАХОВОЕ АКЦИОНЕРНОЕ ОБЩЕСТВО ANNUAL REPORT 2008 5 ГОДОВОЙ ОТЧЕТ 2008 ANNUAL REPORT ОБРАЩЕНИЕ ГЕНЕРАЛЬНОГО 1 ДИРЕКТОРА Уважаемые акционеры, партнеры, коллеги! Дорогие друзья! 2008 год стал юбилейным для нашей компании — мы отметили 15-летие. Спасибо вам за многочисленные поздравления и теплые слова в адрес САО «ГЕФЕСТ». Для нас они имеют большую ценность как свидетельство высокой значимости нашей работы. Юбилей ярко подчеркнул роль САО «ГЕФЕСТ» как основателя и лидера рынка страхования строительных рисков. Финансовые результаты юбилейного года тоже можно оценить как достаточно вы- сокие и успешные: компания превысила свои запланированные показатели и до- билась 55% роста объемов страховых премий по сравнению с 2007 годом. Причем САО «ГЕФЕСТ» не только сохранило лидерские позиции в страховании транспорт- ных объектов, но и успешно выступило на новых рынках, таких, например, как страхование строительства в сфере электроэнергетики и нефтегазовом секторе. Еще раз проявилось первенство компании в сфере методологии — САО «ГЕФЕСТ» вы- ступило как основной разработчик стандартов страхования ответственности в созда- ваемых саморегулируемых организациях в строительстве (СРО). Мы с уверенностью смотрим в будущее, опираясь на скорректированную с учетом по- следних тенденций стратегию развития, направленную на участие в крупнейших инфра- структурных строительных проектах и развитие имущественного и личного страхования. Мы по-прежнему остаемся надежной опорой для наших клиентов в непростое время, когда необходимо особенно тщательно подходить к управлению рисками. Компания продолжает динамично развиваться, и подтверждением этому стало символическое событие 2009 года — переезд Центрального офиса САО «ГЕФЕСТ» из высотки на Садовом кольце в новый, более просторный и современный офис в самом центре Москвы, на Тверской-Ямской. Уверен, что и эта перемена — к луч- шему, она поможет САО «ГЕФЕСТ» достичь новых успехов и обеспечить еще более высокий уровень качества страховых услуг. До встречи! Генеральный директор Александр Миллерман 6 ГОДОВОЙ ОТЧЕТ 2008 ANNUAL REPORT ПОЗДРАВЛЕНИЯ 2 С 15-ЛЕТИЕМ ПРАВИТЕЛЬСТВО РОССИЙСКОЙ От имени Правительства Российской Федерации и себя лично поздравляю ФЕДЕРАЦИИ с 15-летием создания компании.

During operation, a large diameter tube allows for stacked deck configuration with shafts dropped to platform level (no station caverns). The extensive information has been compiled on innovative TBM tunneling projects such as the Barcelona Line 9, where the concept of continuous station has been used for the first time, stormwater management and roadway tunnel in Malaysia, where the floodwater bypass tunnel and the road tunnel are incorporated in a single bore tunnel.

  • BORED TUNNEL CONCEPT for AWVSRP 1. Introduction a Number
    BORED TUNNEL CONCEPT FOR AWVSRP 1. Introduction Formatted: Font: Bold A number of interested parties have suggested that a bored bypass tunnel be Formatted: Indent: First line: 0.25" considered in the collaborative process examining alternatives for the central waterfront section of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall Replacement Program. This concept would route SR 99 in twin two-lane tunnels running for approximately two miles under downtown from the vicinity of the stadiums to the vicinity of the north portal of the Battery Street Tunnel. While the concept presents some alignment and traffic performance challenges, it takes advantage of current technology and has the potential to reduce cost and construction impacts compared to other alternatives. Formatted: Font: Bold 2. Previously Considered Tunnel Alternatives (and why they were not carried forward) Several tunnel alternatives have been considered for the AWVSRP: • In 2002 a concept that featured twin three-lane bored tunnels was set aside because the required diameter of 55’ pushed the achievable threshold of boring- machine technology. • In 2004 a two-lane bypass cut-and-cover tunnel along the waterfront was judged inferior to other alternatives in terms of traffic operations and capacity. Deleted: • In 2007 the preferred three-lane cut-and-cover tunnel along the waterfront encountered objections to the construction cost, risks and impacts. 3. Bored Tunnel Technology Formatted: Font: Bold Improvements in modern tunnel boring machines have greatly reduced previous Formatted: Indent: Left: 0.25", risks associated with ground surface settlement and made bored tunnels cost First line: 0.25" competitive with cut-and-cover tunnels, with substantially less construction impacts.
