Scope of activities

• Industrial safety expert assessment of buildings and structures in mining, metallurgical, chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas processing industries and boiler facilities subject to inspection.
• Inspection and assessment of technical condition of load bearing and enclosing elements of buildings and structures.
• Development of recommendations for further safe operation of engineering structures of buildings and structures.
• Provision of check calculations and assessment of remaining life for the most critical structures.
• Development of design-and-engineering documentation for repair and reconstruction operations and structural enforcement of buildings and structures.
• Preparation and verification of design and estimate documentation.
• R&D with the following focus areas:
  • study of stress and strain state of structural materials of buildings and structures using strain-gauge (tensometric) methods;
  • definition of actual loading conditions of structural elements of buildings and structures;
  • computerized modeling of stress and strain state of material of structural components of buildings and structures using the finite element method.
