History

History Project institute №1 - the country's history

1951

Project Development Institute No. 1 contributed much to development of the construction industry. New structures and structural elements were developed here and then applied in construction, the design of construction enterprises was pursued.

Thus, in 1951, the Institute’s technical committee considered and approved the design project for a pre-stressed beam with an 18-meter span - the first in the USSR. Development of a series of metalwork plants all over the country was commenced that same year. Construction sites were prepared in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Ulyanovsk, Novosibirsk, Kurgan, Kharkov, Nizhny Tagil.

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.

Vladimir Chufarin

Director of Project Development Institute No. 1 1983–1992

Vladimir Chufarin was appointed the director of Project Development Institute No. 1 by order of the State Construction Department of the USSR dated 16 September 1983. In the beginning of his tenure in this position, the scope of work related to the renovation and technical re-equipment of industrial enterprises notably increased. For instance, in 1986, such work was performed 2.3 times more than in 1985. Many projects of this period in Leningrad, including the buildings of the plant named after Lepse and the building of the All-Union Galurgiya Research Institute, acquired great town-planning significance. The Institute continued its territorial activity and actively defined redundant territories for industrial construction. However, investment volumes decreased by the late 1980s and plummeted by the early 1990s. 15 December 1992 Institute staff and work scope began to contract as well. Vladimir Chufarin quit his position for health reasons.
