Lecturer at the NSUACE Department of Construction Technology and Management Roman Kotkov, Vladimir Molodin and Roman Motylev
The time between the winter exam session for part-time students and the start of the spring semester for full-time students is traditionally considered a time of relative calm. However, for the SPbGASU lecturers and research departments, it often becomes particularly intense and productive. The end of January was marked by an important professional meeting in the field of "Construction Technology and Management" (CTM).
An eventful meeting was held in Novosibirsk between the Head of the SPbGASU Department of Construction Management, PhD of Engineering Sciences, Associate Professor Roman Motylev and the Vice-Rector for Research at the Novosibirsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (Sibstrin), Head of the Department of Construction Technology and Management, DSc in Engineering, Professor Vladimir Molodin.
The business trip included visits to Technonicol research center and the Knauf-NSUACE (Sibstrin) Consulting Center, which showcase modern, innovative finishing and roofing technologies. Of particular interest was NSUACE experience of collaboration with PERI, a global manufacturer of formwork and scaffolding, as part of the "Universities" project, which aims to integrate advanced manufacturing solutions into the educational process.
One of the key areas of work for the SPbGASU Department of CTM is improving construction methods in extreme climatic conditions. The department's research enables efficient construction and ensures the reliable operation of buildings and structures at subzero temperatures. The department operates a laboratory for studying winter concreting processes, creating a solid scientific and experimental foundation for further research.
The meeting resulted in agreements to expand cooperation between the universities. The parties expressed their willingness to participate in research and practical conferences, exchange experiences in organizing the educational process and implementing research projects, and also participate in dissertation review and serve as leading organizations.
The development of partnerships between SPbGASU and NSUACE (Sibstrin) opens up new opportunities for strengthening scientific schools and training highly qualified specialists in the field of construction technology and management.
