"It is important that KazDorNII pays great attention to the training of qualified personnel. As you know, there is a Training Center for further training of workers of the road sector at the Institute. To date, already 867 professionals in 11 directions have taken courses. Furthermore, KazDorNII is testing new technologies, many of which are used extensively in construction", - said Mr. Mereke Pshembayev, Chairman of the Committee for Roads MID RK.
In addition, participants had a Working Group meeting on the development of a normative document "road pavement design" for Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.
According to the president of "KazdorNII" JSC Mr. Bagdat Teltayev, approaches to the road design in the post-Soviet countries have not been updated for more than 50 years, so it was decided to improve the existing rules. KazDorNII takes part in this process actively. As noted by the partners of Kazakhstan, logistical and scientific base of the Institute allows finding the best solutions for the construction and maintenance of roads, taking into account the climatic conditions of each country.
