INFORMATION ABOUT THE NORTH-CAUCASIAN ENGINEERING-GEOLOGICAL CENTRE

The North-Caucasian engineering-geological centre (NC EGC) is the federal state unitary enterprise established in the city of Stavropol in 1957 on the decision of the Presidium of the Academy of sciencesа of the USSR in connection with the complicatedа engineering-geological and hydro-geological conditions in the North Caucasus. Later NC EGC was transferred under the authorization of GOSSTROY of the USSR, now - GOSSTROY of Russia.

The NC EGC is the head scientific research organization of GOSSTROY of Russia on engineering researches, geoecology, hydrogeology and the prevention the dangerous geological processes in the North Caucasus. NC EGC has the State license of the Federal license centre ╘╦╓а 009296-1 (I,II) dated by 30.07.2001 authorizing to carry out the works at the territory of the Russian Federation and it also has the state accreditation of the scientific organization 2913 dated by 09.08.2001, certificate └═╬ 000589.

In the NC EGC structure there are 8 laboratories: engineering geodynamics, hydrogeology and geoecology, the laboratory of the shrinking soils,а architectural - construction designing, monitoring, remote sensing and, Geological-engineering service, engineering seismology, the laboratory onа the study of structure and properties of the soils and Caucasian Mineral Waters engineering-geological and geoecological laboratory (in Pyatigorsk).

The NC EGC personnel carried out the engineering-geological researches, the working outа and designing of the nature preservationа measures at chemical plantsа in Krasnodar and Nevinnomysk, at the factory named лAtommash╗ in Volgodonsk andа at the Prikumskа factory of plastic items in Budenovsk, at various turns of the Large Stavropol Channel, at the lines of the main gas piping, oil pipelines and at many other major objects of industrial and civil construction.

The North-Caucasian engineering-geological centre is carrying out the work on estimation prevention of the hezeders geological processes (such as: slides, swellings, shrinkage, ravine-dried-up river-beds erosion) on the way of the main gas pipelines in a number ofа the regions of Russia for лGazprom╗.

а аThe area of intermediate pile piers installation for the purpose of carrying out anty-deformation measures.

Recently the NC EGC personnel have made a map of the dangerous geological processes at the territory of Central Caucasian with the recommendations for their prevention, have also worked out the ecological passport of Stavropol. According to the recommendations of the NC EGC experts a lot of land-sliding places were fixed on highways and in the cities of the Northern Caucasus and also many places have been rescued from destruction and restored for further exploitation apartment houses, schools, hospitals, objects of culture and rest, monuments of architecture in the cities of the Caucasian Mineral Waters, and also in Nevinnomyssk, Budennovsk, Novopavlovsk, Georgievsk, Rostov, Sochi and many others. The platforms for stowing and burial place ofа the industrial wastes of the large enterprises have been chosen, the level of the soil waters in a number of the cities of Stavropol Krai have been decreased.

The NC EGC personnel has beenа workingа in other regions of Russia: Moscow, Rostov, Volgograd, Perm and some other regions of Russia and also in Republics of Komi, Kalmykia, Daguestan, Chechnya and also in near and distant foreign countries, such as Ukraine, Moldova, Algeria, Greece, Mongolia, Iraq, Tunis, Japan, etc.

One of best laboratory base in the region allows to define chemical and mineral structure of the various soils , and also to define their strength, deformation and some other building properties.
