The history of the creation and development of a business in the field of geotechnical construction.

The example of the development of a construction business is described, based on the need to introduce modern geotechnical technology in the region, further improve and develop it for the purposes of construction, major repairs, and reconstruction of various objects. Specific examples of designing and installing driven piles made using the discharge-pulse technology (ERT piles (RIT, FORST, ERST)) and their practical application are provided. The book discusses the possibilities of the electric discharge technology ERT, unique cases in strengthening foundation bases and pile fields, as well as the experience of using ERT jet grouting piles in reconstruction, new construction in complex engineering-geological conditions, and in conditions of old development, which can be useful for students of construction specialties, industry professionals, and a wide range of readers. 2nd edition, revised and expanded.
