digging and covering method was one of the best ways to carry out these works, especially since the tunnel of Elsayeda Zeinab-Ramses is not considered a deep expenditure for his connection to a linear track table (Halwan- Elsayeda Zeinab and Al-Marg-Al- Shohadaa station).
Therefore, it was necessary to clear the route of the line and stations from the facilities, and to expropriate a very large volume of water, sewerage, electricity, telephones, and natural gas systems - and facilities networks registration was not accurate and available at this time , identification Land underground one of the most difficult facilities the National Authority has encountered because of the lack of accurate graphics or maps indicating and was able to identify these facilities.
