A meeting with representatives of the St. Petersburg Capital Repair Fund and the State Administrative and Technical Inspectorate (GATI) was held at the Civil Engineering Institute. The event was part of cooperation agreement signed on December 26, 2025.
Irina Petrova, Head of the Capital Repair Preparation Department, and Elizaveta Matukhnova, a press service representative, represented the St. Petersburg Capital Repair Fund. Maxim Istomin, Head of the Department for Maintenance of Non-Residential Building Facades, represented the State Administrative and Technical Inspectorate. Marina Petrochenko, Director of the Institute of Civil Engineering, and Natalia Braila, Associate Professor of the Higher School of Hydraulic and Power Engineering, represented the Civil Engineering Institute.
The meeting participants discussed plans for joint work in 2026. Particular attention was paid to organizing internships for students from the Civil Engineering Institute at the Capital Repair Fund and the State Administrative and Technical Inspectorate, conducting open lectures and tours, and integrating practical cases into the educational process.
To truly experience the institute's atmosphere, guests were given a tour of the "Facade Structures of Buildings and Structures" research laboratory, the "Engineering Ecology and Monitoring" training laboratory, and the "Polytech MetaCampus."
The cooperation agreement signed at the end of last year with the Capital Repairs Fund and GATI provides our students with access to a professional environment. Internships, lectures, excursions, and project work based on real-world cases—all of this will allow students to gain a deeper understanding of the specifics of the work and develop practical competencies in demand in the industry, noted ISI Director Marina Petrochenko.
