To see what everyone has seen and to think like no one has ever thought before!
"Progress is not an accident, but a necessity." Herbert Spenser
Nowadays, if you want to make a ra-tional decision, you have to balance on the edge of technological progress.
Cut-and-try method does not work any-more and the major resources, such as experts, time and materials became rather expensive.
Besides, it is necessary to conduct researches to achieve production goals.
That is why we have to discover the fine balance between legality and techno-logical capabilities and estimate social risks.

Hydraulic Structures Department
"There is nothing in the world softer and weaker than water, and yet for attacking
things that are firm and strong there is nothing that can take precedence of it " Lao Tzu
Our task is to estimate risks of using hydraulic structures not only at the project stage, but also during
their total life cycle.
Safety measures for hydraulic struc-tures and their operating reliability are developed on the basis
of risks analysis.
Hydraulic structures (dams, water in-take and spillway outlet works, discharge sluices, emptying and
dewatering conduits, tunnels, canals, pumping stations, ship and fish locks, coast-protecting structures,
flood walls, levees of industrial waste collectors) make our life more convenient and work of enterprises
possible.
But, as we know, conveniences must be paid for, sometimes by human lives.

Civil Defence and Emergency Situations Department
"Sense of fear and sense of danger are different. The former belongs to instincts, the latter belongs to mind. The former must be suppressed while the latter must be deve-loped" Ilya Shevelyov
An emergency situation is both accidental and regular. It is certain that it will happen but when it will occur is unforeseen.
Unfortunately, nobody can guarantee that the house you live or the building you work in will be safe from fire
at any moment.
So, our task is to reduce emergencies risk and minimize their effect.

Expertise and Audit Department
"Real knowledge consists not in an ac-quaintance with facts, which only makes
a pedant, but in the use of facts, which makes a philosopher
" H. T. Buckle
Thus, our goal is to form an expert panel for developing a certain project, conducting independent assessment,
predicting the outcome and providing professional recommendations for the future.
It is quite difficult to gain a professional competence. Profound field knowledge, constant professional development, searching
for new ideas and a wide range of acquaintances help an expert in his or her work greatly.
A true expert should be unprejudiced and honest, mainly with him or herself, as his or her reputation is much more
valuable than money.We realize that it is impossible to employ experts from all scientific and industrial fields.

Technical Information Department
"By teaching, we learn" Seneka
For example, a simple fracture, which was not noticed in proper time, can cause
a dam failurWe are glad to share our knowledge and experience with you
as well as benefit from your best practices of designing, construction and
running facilities.
Software packages development and their constant and timely upgrading improve the work process
and save time. However, ignorance of a physical process nature and main safety management
criteria applied to some facilities, for instance to hydraulic structures, can lead to unexpected
or even dangerous consequences.
