Since the 1970’s global multi-disciplinary consultancy Meinhardt has found and retained a place at the forefront of structural engineering associated with tall buildings.
The construction company MERO TSK International has acquired a strong partner at the Russian construction market. Successfully overcame the challenges of the global crisis, the firm «Aluterra SK» has both feet on the floor, and also successfully goes forward, thus attracting foreign partners.

In the last half-century we have witnessed an unprecedented boom in the construction of tall buildings and special structures, in aspects related to their architectural complexity, freedom of expression and structural sophistication. This is without doubt due to the remarkable revolution in our improved state-of-the-art design tools. More accurate and realistic numerical methods today allow for a greater certainty than ever before, the means to predict how a given structure would behave in extreme loading conditions.

This article describes scientific methods of creating of systems of monitoring and forecast of buildings’ and constructions engineering status. These systems are put in practice for unique olympic constructions SOCHI 2014, Moscow- City complex, football stadiums for World Cup 2018 etc. The article is concerned with methods of structural monitoring, the technology of systems creating, the standard structure and components of a system, the experimental results of the theory using in practice.
Peculiarities of the national construction today are characterized not only by mentality. One of several problems is the legal vacuum, where the construction industry is now. At time when it is updating SNiPs and are currently undergoing discussions to how we will relate to the Eurocodes and correspond with them; we are in the midst of a complete change in the regulatory framework; and also determining the direction what the construction industry in Russia is going to be...

Materials tests for compliance with international quality standards are regularly performed there. Every year the Institute conducts hundreds of tests to develop new and improve existing materials.
Implementation of projects of highrise buildings, which are, as a rule, modern multifunctional complex, requires the creation of comfort cooling systems with the maintenance of optimal parameters of indoor air with a high rate of coverage. However, the practice of using modern facade designs with increased, sometimes up to 100% glazing, leads to extreme conditions for comfort cooling systems, contributing to violation of the specified parameters of internal regime.
