Some 150 km of new metro lines will be constructed in Moscow by 2020. As part of this effort, contractor Engeocom purchased two 6.6 m-diameter Robbins EPBs to excavate two 1.8 km-long tunnels between Business Center and Park Pobedy Stations. Engeocom also refurbished a secondhand machine with a Robbins cutterhead and spare parts for a 2 km-long interstation tunnel. This machine launched in August, 2012 and progressed more than 265 m by November, 2012. A 6.2 m Robbins EPB has also been purchased by contractor USK MOST for a 1.9 km section.
