On July 30, 1959, a Delivery-Acceptance Act was signed. In this historic document the military party declared delivery of Sheremetyevsky Aerodrome, and the civil party — its acceptance. The DAA listed all of the aerodrome’s facilities, including a runway with major and connecting taxiways, aprons with aircraft group ramps, drainage facilities, an airfield, internal and access motorways, a Central Control Tower, a technical building on the aerodrome yard, a POL ready-storage, 11 transformer substations and a backup power station, a telecommunication hub and an aircraft landing system, special-purpose motor vehicles, residential buildings in the town of Bukino, buildings and structures built for the aerodrome’s own use and using its own resources. The DAA was supplemented with a record of buildings and structures under construction which were subject to transfer to the civil air fleet after the completion of construction.
Hi everyone, hope you enjoyed the first blog article we posted in April. To get you updated on the progress we have made throughout the years we'll be posting more articles from Gerrit's blog; he is the project manager.

Sheremetyevo Airport was built as the chief aerodrome for the Soviet Army’s air force. The construction process was difficult. The first servicemen at the construction site lived in tents, built their own barracks, and simultaneously cut a clearing in the woods for the future runway and access railways. The living conditions were tough, there were no roads, and the work continued day and night.
