The SPbGASU Scientific and Technical Library has opened a book exhibition, "The scientific and practical contribution of Professor Vladimir Vladimirovich Verstov to the development of construction technology". It is dedicated to the memory of the distinguished builder, outstanding scientist, and remarkable teacher.
Professor Verstov headed the SPbGASU Department of Construction Technology from 1995 to 2012.
Vladimir Vladimirovich's research and engineering expertise included the application of vibration technologies to various types of specialized construction work (driving sheet piles and pipes, installing pile foundations, and drilling water wells). He also developed energy-efficient design and engineering solutions for hydraulic engineering and solid waste landfills. Together with his students, he developed unique technological solutions for the renovation of dilapidated housing and the construction of unique buildings for various purposes, including the St Petersburg flood protection complex, the Bratskaya, Sayano-Shushenskaya, and other hydroelectric power station dams, and defense industry facilities.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Verstov is the author of more than 400 published scientific and methodological works, and the developer of 170 copyright certificates and patents for inventions.
For over 30 years, Vladimir Vladimirovich Verstov's life was connected with SPbGASU: work in the Department of Construction Technology, active participation in the university's social life, and academic supervision of master's and PhD students.
As per tradition, the exhibition was presented by Elena Romanova, Head of the SPbGASU Scientific and Technical Library. The Head of the Department of Construction Technology, DSc in Engineering Anton Gaido told colleagues about the scientific achievements and practical accomplishments of his teacher.
