A meeting between representatives of JSC CONCERN TITAN-2 and students studying under a targeted training agreement was held at the Saint Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering.

The upcoming New Year holidays prompted Ksenia Pereskokova and Valeria Povreznyuk, specialists from the External Personnel Reserve Project Development Group at JSC CONCERN TITAN-2, to visit the university.

Ksenia and Valeria congratulated the students on the upcoming New Year, presented gifts, and chatted with their target students in an informal setting.

Targeted training Allows students to study on a budget, complete internships at a relevant company, and be confident in the direction and prospects of their professional development after graduation.

"For the company, targeted training is an opportunity to meet students, see them in action, and develop specialists tailored to their tasks and projects. This format helps build a team of motivated young professionals who already understand the specifics of the work and the corporate culture," noted Ksenia Pereskokova.

To date, 20 SPbGASU students have signed targeted training agreements with JSC CONCERN TITAN-2. Students participate in the company's internships and corporate activities, gaining insight into their future professions while still studying.

"These meetings support lively communication between students, the university, and employers," emphasized Ekaterina Abolina, director of our university's Center for Student Entrepreneurship and Careers.

Antonina Yudina, professor at the Department of Construction Technology at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, received patent No. 2852076, "Method for activating mixing water for a construction mixture."

The invention involves pre-treating water with an electric field from electrodes in a sealed container and then mixing it with dosed concrete mix components. The soluble electrode stack is made of aluminum plates, insulated from each other by a dielectric and connected to a power source. One electrode is connected to the positive pole (anode), the other to the negative pole (cathode). The electric field strength is 20–30 V/cm, and the water treatment lasts five to seven minutes.

The technical result is a reduction in energy consumption due to a shorter concrete curing time from casting to formwork removal, and an increase in formwork turnover due to a shorter isothermal heating time without excess cement consumption. Furthermore, the strength, frost resistance, and homogeneity of the concrete are increased.

When cement is mixed with water pre-treated with an electric field, a reaction occurs between calcium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide. This reaction results in the formation of calcium hydroaluminates and activation of the mixture. These aggregates (calcium hydroaluminates) serve as ready-made crystallization centers. These centers facilitate the rapid crystallization of new formations that precipitate from supersaturated solutions during the interaction of the binder with water. This process accelerates the hardening of binders.

The results were confirmed by laboratory tests. A 21% increase in strength was observed after seven days of curing. Cement consumption per cubic meter of concrete mix was reduced by 10, 15, and 20%, while water consumption remained constant, but the water-cement ratio increased.
