Research Laboratory of Bridges and Engineering Structures (RLBES)

Our Services

• Diagnosis, Certification, and Inspection: We conduct comprehensive diagnostics, certification, and inspections (planned, pre-commissioning, pre-project) of bridges, overpasses, tunnels, livestock crossings, drainage pipes, and other artificial structures on both road and railway systems.

• Structural Monitoring: Ongoing monitoring of the condition of construction structures during both the construction phase and operational phase of the structures.

• Technical Condition Assessment: Investigation of the technical and operational state of engineering structures to ensure safety and functionality.

• Geodetic Observations: Conduct geodetic observations of elements and structures in engineering facilities to track performance and structural integrity.

• Operational Recommendations: Development of recommendations for the safe operation of engineering structures based on the findings from our assessments.

Certifications

• We hold a Category 1 Certificate for the inspection of building structures, road construction, and bridge structures.
• We are also certified in ISO 9001:2015 for our quality management system.

Our Developments

Employees of the Research Laboratory of Bridges and Engineering Structures (RLBES) have actively participated in the implementation of various projects, including:

• State Research and Technology Program (GRPNI) "Building Materials and Technologies 58" and the State Research and Technology Program (GNTP) "Resource Saving, New Materials and Technologies." These initiatives include contractual agreements with enterprises and organizations.

• Development of Elastic Reinforced Composite Materials: We have developed elastic reinforced composite materials and technology for their application, which exhibits enhanced resistance to deformations at joints in bridges and overpasses. These materials are utilized by RUP "Vitebskavtodor."

• Repair Concrete Composition: We created a formulation and method for preparing repair concrete using waste clay additives, with applications in OAO "Mostostroy."

• Assessment Methodology: We developed a methodology for evaluating the existing stress-strain state of bridge span structures, considering structural damages. This methodology is currently in use by RUP "Minskavtodor-Center."
