University of Kundrati, Kasaema engineers design potential Subway plan for Kaliburg, Kalistan

[3 June 5571]

Engineers from the University of Kundrati in Kasaema came back from a fourteen-week trip to examine Kaliburg with colleagues from Kalistan, its soil, buildings, and the like to determine if the city, also known as the capital of Kalistan, should get a subway service for the local populace. The result was an overwhelming yes, and not only that, an ambitious plan to create one of the largest subway systems in Terra.

The designers, whose map you can view here, based their plans on a map of Kaliburg provided to them by colleagues from the local Kaliburg Polytechnic University. Using the map above and noting the soil history of the city and other factors, the engineers set to work and produced an extensive subway system for the city. This includes lines serving almost all of the city with underground portions in the city center and overground or uncovered portions in eastern Kaliburg, especially in Igloo and Lolla/Gollo. The five-line service connects Kaliburg Terminal to the Republican University Embassy Row and other essential areas of the capital.

The engineers also took into account the fact that the area is more prone to earthquakes. As a result, any subway tunnel would be reinforced with anti-earthquake measures, and any rolling stock would also have to be designed in a way that can either come to a complete stop in the event of an emergency or slowly make its way to the next stop before relieving itself of its passengers. The tunnels will also have ventilation features and numerous emergency exits in emergencies.

The engineers are expected to meet with local officials and the Kalistani government to work out the kinks of the potential system and determine whether portions of the plan need to be expanded. The engineers believe that, if approval is found immediately, the first few stations are expected to begin operating by 5580, with the entire set of lines to be completed by 5599 at the latest.
