The Research Center for Construction Technologies is a comprehensive research platform that solves theoretical and applied problems relating to the innovative design and construction of industrial, civil and hydraulic structures using modern design, research and calculation tools and methods.

RESOURCES

The Center has modern laboratories equipped with highly efficient equipment and software:

• laboratory of building materials and building structures;
• laboratory of engineering equipment for buildings and structures;
• soil mechanics laboratory;
• hydrological and technical safety laboratory of hydraulic works;
• BIM modeling laboratory for construction.

The laboratory facilities enable research in building life support systems, forecasting changes in small river runoff, building structures and construction materials science.
