Six undergraduate students graduated from the university with honors.
Forty-three students completed the specialist's degree programs. Ninety graduates completed the master's degree programs, 30 of whom received honors degrees.
State examination commissions have recognized a number of final qualifying theses and master's dissertations that are distinguished by a high level of development, relevance, and practical significance.
The best final qualifying works
Department of Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Structures
The department highlighted the work of Ekaterina Antonyuk (Construction major, Industrial and Civil Construction) on the topic of "New building of a general education institution, St. Petersburg" (supervisor – PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor Tatyana Khegay).
Ekaterina Antonyuk
The project included a full cost estimate and a set of graphic materials for an extension to the existing school building, designed in a unified architectural style. The project includes modern educational spaces: computer science classrooms using customized artificial intelligence systems, specialized chemistry and biology classrooms with demonstration areas. The project is focused on creating a modern educational environment and takes into account current requirements for the development of school infrastructure.
Department of Heat and Gas Supply and Ventilation
The work of Dmitry Sorokin (profile: "Engineering life support systems in construction") on the topic "Ventilation of the library and cultural center in St. Petersburg" (supervisor – PhD in engineering, associate professor Yulia Ivanova) was noted.
The project developed general ventilation systems based on separate supply and exhaust units for the first and second floors of the building, as well as local exhaust systems for the restrooms. The graduate demonstrated a confident understanding of the regulatory framework, applied modern calculation methods, and selected the appropriate equipment.
Department of Transport Systems and Road and Bridge Construction
The commission highlighted the work of Ksenia Azarchenko (profile: "Motorways") on the topic "Project for organizing major repairs of a section of the Novorzhev-Opochka highway in the Pskov region" (supervised by senior lecturer Anna Simonova).
Ksenia Azarchenko
The project developed solutions for restoring structural elements of a regional highway section, bringing them up to regulatory requirements. Calculations of personnel, resource, material, and equipment requirements were performed, and project timelines and technical and economic indicators were determined. Particular attention was paid to stabilizing the slopes with geosynthetics. The project is based on modern road construction technologies.
Also noted was the work of Kirill Ladygin (field of study: "Transport Process Technology", profile: "Automobile Transportation and Traffic Organization") on the topic of changes to the public transport route network after the opening of the Bogatyrsky Prospekt and Kamenka/Shuvalovsky Prospekt metro stations (supervised by Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor Yegor Golov).
The paper analyzed the socioeconomic and planning characteristics of St. Petersburg's Primorsky District, examined the existing route network, and identified the catchment areas of new transport hubs. Proposals for adjusting traffic patterns and route parameters were developed, based on operational and socioeconomic performance indicators.
Department of Construction Physics, Electrical Power Engineering and Electrical Engineering
The department recognized the work of Kirill Sazanov (Electrical Engineering and Power Engineering major) on the topic of "Designing the power supply for an electric charging station on the territory of a gas station" (supervised by PhD in Engineering, Associate Professor Viktor Reznicenko).
The project focuses on developing a power supply system for a gas station, taking into account increased reliability requirements. A feasibility study was completed, occupational safety issues were addressed, and the graphic design was created using modern software.
Department of Technical Operation of Vehicles
The work of Andrey Kupreev (profile: "Cars and automobile industry") on the topic "Development of a specialized service station for repairing steering systems of trucks" (supervisor – Ph.D. in engineering Igor Graevsky) was noted.
The paper analyzes existing approaches to servicing steering systems and substantiates technical and technological solutions. The station design was developed in accordance with current regulatory requirements, and the documentation complies with the standards of the Unified System of Design Documentation (ESKD) and the Unified System of Technological Documentation (ESTD).
Best Master's Theses
Direction 38.04.02. Management (Construction Management)
The State Examination Committee recognized Elizaveta Volkova's dissertation, "Development of Tools for Managing Construction Project Deadlines" (supervised by Doctor of Economics, Professor Alexander Kharitonovich).
Elizaveta Volkova
This paper analyzes the factors hindering effective time management for construction projects in Russia and St. Petersburg. A toolkit for assessing time management maturity and guidelines for improving it were developed. The recommendations were tested at a specific organization and proved effective. The graduate was recommended for graduate school.
Nikita Timofeev's dissertation, "Development of a System for Effective Resource Management in an Investment and Construction Project" (supervisor: Doctor of Economics, Professor Irina Drozdova), also received high marks.
The study conducted a comparative analysis of projects by St. Petersburg construction companies—KVS Group, PSK Group, and RSTI Holding—based on resource efficiency indicators. A system for integrating scheduling, resource, and financial management frameworks was developed, ensuring project sustainability under resource constraints. The proposed solutions were tested on a pilot fire station construction project and demonstrated their effectiveness.
Direction 38.03.02. Management (Management of an organization in the investment and construction sector)
The commission noted the work of Katerina Alekseeva, “Improving the strategy for promoting an organization (using the example of LLC SZ ELEMENT)” (supervised by Candidate of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor Nadezhda Belova).
Katerina Alekseeva
The study conducted a marketing analysis of major St. Petersburg developers and developed recommendations for increasing sales by implementing a mobile app as part of the construction company's ecosystem. The effectiveness of the proposed solutions was assessed. The graduate was recommended to continue her studies in a master's program.
The Class of 2026 has confirmed the high level of training at the Faculty of Continuous Education. The projects they presented demonstrate their readiness to solve complex engineering and management problems, implement modern technologies, and develop the construction industry.
