TSUM DEPARTMENT STORE
About project
TsUM is a symbolic historical department store center located in the very heart of Moscow, in the close vicinity to the famous Bolshoi Theatre. It is
one of the most complicated and most unique projects in our Collection.
Restricted conditions in the very center of Moscow and a complicated system of underground pipelines and subterranean river were hampering factors
in our challenge to design and construct four underground floors. The project was constructed using the UP&DOWN technology and, despite all
the difficulties, the building which deserves all its praise, was built in the shortest possible time.
Unique reinforced concrete facades, aimed to imitate monolithic stone, were ordered from Belgium specially for TsUM. Facade panels,
anti-vandal coating weighing 7 tons each, were delivered to the city center and assembled onto a sub-construction, specially designed by our
specialists.
Never before has Moscow seen such a construction
