This is a ventilation connection between the air well and four stages.

Somewhere in the Saint Petersburg Metro, there is a construction which became abandoned several decades ago. Its cast-iron vaults are eaten away with rust.

Regular infiltration devices like those used in Moscow are not used in Saint Petersburg anymore. Local authorities prefer more ingenious equipmet for this purpose.
