Kharkiv State Engineering and Geological Department UkrNIINTIZ

Director - Yu. Lysichenko

Kharkiv State Engineering-Geological Department of the Ukrainian State Leading Scientific-Research and Production Institute for Engineering-Technical and Ecological Investigations (KhS EGD of UkrNIINTIZ) is specialized in the field of engineering-geological and ecological investigations and offers its services for realization of the work as follows:
- engineering-geological investigations for projecting of all kinds of the civil and industrial building, engineering preparation and organization of public services, projecting of roads, working up of the projects of protection zones, schemes of the protection of territories and settlements from hazardous geological processes;
- large-scale engineering-geological mapping of settlements territories;
- complex engineering-geological and engineering-hydrogeological work for the grounds of the various stages of projecting: newly erected building, reconstruction, broadening of industrial and agricultural building and constructions;
- projecting of water pumpings-out from the underground sources;
- special hydrogeological and geophysical researches and investigational boring for the grounds of the projects of pumpings-out of groundwater;
- special investigations and researches for projecting of detection measures against the underflooding;
- boring of holes for bored grouted piles;
- determination of the pile bearing capacity by means of static probing and testing of real and standards piles with static and dynamic loads;
- engineering-geological and special building work for the preparation of sites under existing of complicated geological conditions (karst, landslides, collapsing soils etc.);
- search and prospecting of groundwater and raw materials for building and engineering preparation of territories;
- building of bore-holes for water-supply;
- projecting and reconstruction of territories and building structures of various destination;
- chemical consolidation of the grounds (complex of searches and work);
- estimation of the influence of the existing and projecting objects and complexes of objects upon the environment, determination of the degree of the ecological risk at such projecting;
- determination of the estimation criteria of the state both of separate and of complex indices of the state of the geospheres components of the environment for the subsequent using them in the projecting of the separate objects and their ecological protection;
- working up projects of the most rational location of the local and interconnected places of the prospecting storing of the solid domestic waste and scrap (SDW) of all classes of the toxicity with regard for the stability of all components of the ecological system to their influence;
- finding out places, age, character and volumes of the buried SDW and determination of the ratio of the various qualitative components of such accumulations;
- working up special purpose programs for the ecological protection or the sanitary-technical cleaning of separate areas or regions;
- economical estimation of territories, working up special projects of using territories at their technical and residential use;
- complex estimation of territories and soils for using useless and not productive lands for not agricultural purposes with the aim of minimizing damage to the environment;
- working up the most expedient schemes of the use of the nature;
- special engineering-ecological, engineering-geological, hydrogeological mapping, drawing up maps of the physical and geological processes and effects, as well as maps of the pollution of the natural environment with the various biogenetic and inorganic components.

All the works are executed on the mightful base of the personnel, technical and information potential.
Kharkiv State Engineering-Geological Department of the Ukrainian State Leading Scientific-Research and Production Institute for Engineering-Technical and Ecological Investigations (KhS EGD of UkrNIINTIZ) is a leading subdivision of the Ukrecogeobud scientific and production society, that unites near 40 investigation organization of Ukraine.

KhS EGD of UkrNIINTIZ is staffed with the highly trained specialists and is completed with all technical means required for the high-technological and high-qualitative work in the field of engineering investigations for the industrial and civil building.

The UkrNIINTIZ institute has a semi-centennial history. For the years of its existence it increased from the small investigation bureau into the might institute well known with its specialists both within the countries of the Commonwealth of the Independent States and to the customers of the Far Foreign Countries: Italy, Germany, Great Britain, Cuba, Turkey, the United Arabian Emirates etc.

Many specialists in the field of the engineering geology have passed the school of UkrNIINTIZ and now they are at the head of the engineering-geological services of many Kharkiv projecting organizations.

Specialists of our institute executed the engineering-geological investigations for the housing in many cities and towns of Ukraine, for the underground in Kharkiv and Kyiv, for some industrial objects in Kharkiv, in the Donets Basin, in the Dniepropetrovsk, Zaporizhia, Kirovograd, Poltava regions and others.

We executed investigations in Urgal for the Lake Baikal - the Amur River Main Line, as well as in other regions of Russia.
After the earthquake in Armenia our institute executed the engineering-geological investigations for the restoration of Kirovakan.

Our specialists have executed large volume of work for polygonization of the places of storing SDW in the Kharkiv region, for the grounds of the Kharkiv general plan, as well as for the grounds of building of the proving grounds of SDW for the city of Kharkiv and for the Kharkiv region.

Our information fund is represented with 25 thousand reports about engineering-geological investigations, 82 thousand reports about ecological conditions of the city of Kharkiv and of the Kharkiv region, 830 thousand special certificates containing information about engineering-geological and ecological conditions of the region, as well as with the middle-scale and large-scale cartographical materials.

All that gives the opportunity to execute the complex engineering-technical investigations for the Customers the most economically, operatively and with the high quality.
