The Federal Expert Center for construction of infrastructure facilities on permafrost and weak foundations, a division of the Far Eastern State University of Transport, will be opened in Khabarovsk in 2024.
The key facility of the new think-tank will be a laboratory for geotechnical construction on freezing, permafrost and thawing soils in the Far East and the Arctic. It will be created on the basis of the Department of Bridges, Tunnels and Underground Structures, the university’s press service told TASS.
According to the website of Khabarovsk's government, Minister of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic Alexey Chekunkov proposed the creation of the new expert center following the results of annual university reports participating in the Priority 2030 program.
A new expert center at the university will provide technical services and expert assessment of construction technologies for transport, industrial and social innovation activities in the Arctic and subarctic zones.
