Comparative Analysis of Metro Construction Cost depending on the Construction Method
The purpose of this work is to conduct a comparative analysis of the technical and cost parameters of the metro construction, depending on the technology used. The authors carried out a comparative analysis of the cut and cover and tunneling methods of metro construction in the example of the Samara city. The article presents the differences of the construction stages for each method, and the specific construction costs are calculated. In addition to economic analysis, the authors used variants to compare these construction methods not only by the monetary cost criterion, but also by time indicators and the costs of the required resources. As a result of the analysis it was established that the construction of the facility by the tunneling method is more expensive, however, the time for performing the work is less than using the cut and cover method.
