Leningrad reinforced-concrete plant No. 5

One of the most important projects at Project Development Institute No. 1 in 1954–1955. Breakthroughs in the design field were to drive breakthroughs in the construction industry as well. The plant itself was built in Leningrad Region using new structures developed at the Institute for the production of new construction parts. The plant was erected using wide-panel pre-fabricated structures, many of which were used in construction for the first time, such as: combined stressed beams with a 15-meter span, lattice work with an 18-meter span, double-curved pre-fabricated stressed vault-envelopments measuring 31x18 m, and precast, pre-stressed reinforced-concrete galleries without intermediate supports. From the moment of its startup, reinforced-concrete plant No. 5 has been a unique manufacturer of new standard structures for construction.

Efim Norovsky

Director of Project Development Institute No. 1 1946–1948

Efim Norovsky, Engineering Lieutenant-Colonel, headed Hydrovoenproject Project Development Institute No. 1 established in 1946, which, according to its Charter, had become the leading design organization of the Ministry of Military and Naval Enterprises of the USSR. His management years coincided with the formation and initial evolution of the Institute, which lacked its own production areas and whose personnel worked under Spartan conditions. The Institute conducted its main activities in these years in the design of hydro-technical facilities, including a unique reconstruction project for a slipway at the shipbuilding yard in Nikolaev, which should be noted individually. By the Minister’s order dated 29 March 1948, E.I. Norovsky, Engineering Lieutenant-Colonel, was recalled at the disposal of the Ministry of the Armed Forces.
