During the modernization, both stations received a modern architectural look utilizing Kazakhstani-made building materials. The facades and roofs of the buildings were updated, internal and external finishing was completed, and aluminum stained-glass structures with energy-saving double-glazed windows were installed. Engineering networks, including water supply, sewerage, heating, and power supply systems, were completely modernized.

The interior spaces were finished using modern non-combustible materials. The stations are equipped with Kazakhstani-made ventilation systems, fire alarms, air conditioners, new furniture, and equipment. Vandal-resistant seating has been installed for passengers.

Special attention was paid to ensuring accessibility for people with limited mobility. The facilities are equipped with ramps, tactile tiles are laid, navigation is organized, and comfortable conditions have been created for all categories of passengers.

As part of the project, passenger platforms were reconstructed and adjacent territories were landscaped. In addition, the buildings provide office space for station workers and freight ticket offices. Sanitary and living conditions of work have been improved and modern workplaces have been created.

As a result of the reconstruction, the stations of Aul and Belagash stations were brought into compliance with modern safety requirements, sanitary standards, and passenger service quality standards.
