THE OUTCOME OF 2021
Another year is coming to the end. This year has brought new achievements and victories for the team of "DerzhdorNDI" SE , created new challenges and opened new horizons. Every specialist of the Institute worked enthusiastically and selflessly on issues that were important and sometimes even revolutionary for the road industry. We want to mention some achievements of the past year.
1. Launched the long-awaited reform of pricing in construction, which involves the use of a fixed contract price for aggregated cost of work without the need to decipher all the components of costs. From now on, the key criteria for accepting the scope of work performed are not stacks of papers, but the quality, timing, scope and compliance of project documentation.
2. Updated state construction norms for the design and construction of roads, which provides for a number of innovations.
Among them are the following:
• installation of mandatory stationary electric lighting on M-roads of the I category with an intensity of more than 30 thousand cars / day;
• mandatory construction of overground pedestrian crossings over I-II category roads;
• prohibition of attributed left turns at intersections with a traffic intensity of more than 20 thousand vehicles / day;
• establishing modern requirements for the planning and design of cycling infrastructure, as well as to ensure the accessibility of less mobile groups.
3. Updated traffic safety standards, including road signs, road markings and road marking inserts.
• DSTU 4100 introduces new principles for the layout of road signs of individual design (for example, a new principle of writing the names of settlements: the first letter is uppercase and the others - lowercase); provides new signs and plates to road signs for the development of cycling infrastructure; introduces a new algorithm for placing signs on shields and background shields, etc.
• DSTU 2587 supplements the road markings for taxi and electric car charging areas, approaching the roundabout and pedestrian crossing (especially near schools), bans on entering the intersection during traffic jams, landing areas within tram stops, etc.
• DSTU 4036 provides requirements for road marking studs.
Today there are active (which have an internal light source) and passive (which work by retro reflecting light), which can work synchronously with traffic light control, can be installed both on the marking and on the curb and more.
4. Established a Personnel Certification Body accredited by the National Accreditation Agency of Ukraine, which for the first time in Ukraine, in accordance with the EU Directive, began to issue certified road safety auditors.
5. Performing the scientific and technical support of road construction facilities of the Program of the President of Ukraine "Big Construction", in particular, which introduced following new modern technologies:
• rubblizing technology;
• rolled cement concrete;
• Whitetopping;
• technology of continuous reinforcement of cement-concrete pavement using non-metallic reinforcement;
• corrugated structures;
• soil stabilizers.
6. Our team organized 8 big-scale multidisciplinary workshops and conferences, which brought together the entire professional road community. You can mention each professional event here.
7. Launched active work of the Innovation Portal, where from now on each supplier of new materials and technologies can present their achievements to key stakeholders in the industry - http://roadinnovation.org.ua/uk
8. Created a unique project for Ukraine - the communication platform "Platform of Road Innovations", where live suppliers of new materials and technologies present their work - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlmgd9cNA-WB50BgjGrj2gnNtRQhPEryM
9. Launched the work of our YouTube channel, where we publish recordings of our seminars, trainings and other interesting and informative videos - https://www.youtube.com/c/dpderzhdorndi
10. Set new records in the number of surveyed buildings. The AESUM database was replenished with information on more than 200 bridge structures. Given the big-scale construction of bridges in Ukraine - we are discovering a new type of work on dynamic and static testing of bridges.
11. Created a public map of certified asphalt plants and other industries - http://bit.ly/road_plants
12. Developed a Program for the construction of new roads with cement-concrete pavement, with technologies, facilities, volumes and sites.
13. This year our team set an absolute record for the defense of dissertations - 8 of our specialists immediately received a degree.
14. We have once again proved that we are strategic leaders in updating the regulatory framework. This year alone, we managed to develop 2 Amendments to the DBN, 81 DSTU, as well as 15 other technical documents.
15. For the first time, the Council of Young Scientists was established at our Institute, which has an influence on management decisions at the enterprise and protects the interests of young scientists.
There are many more achievements. All of them became possible only thanks to the coordinated work of our powerful scientific team, which is more than 180 people, the average age of which is 41 years.
By joint efforts we do everything to make it prestigious, profitable and comfortable to work at our Institute. In 2021 we succeeded the following:
• increase the volume of work compared to previous years - more than 133 million UAH (+ 20% compared to 2020);
• provide health insurance for employees;
• implement digitalization processes at the enterprise (E-journals of laboratory tests and E-tables for fast data exchange between departments and management).
We are sincerely grateful to every specialist of the Institute for excellent work, sleepless nights, work on sites on weekends and holidays. Your contribution to the development of the road industry is already felt by every road user. We are confident that with such a team next year we will show even greater productivity and efficiency in the coming road construction seasons!
Happy New Year! We wish everyone peace, well-being and good health!
