The activities of the "Construction" department is aimed at training qualified professionals with relevant professional knowledge and skills and their practical application in the field of construction.
The first set of students was in 1994 in the specialties "Industrial and civil construction" and "Construction of railways, track and track facilities." Since 2004 bachelors in the specialty "Construction" in "Technology of Industrial and Civil Engineering" specialization have been trained.
For 20 years of existence the "Construction" department has trained more than 500 specialists.
Science is one of the priority activities of the department. With the participation of the department members SNIP 3.02-29-2005 "Insulation and finish coatings," SP RK 5.01. 2005 "Calculation and Design of foundations in rammed pits,» NTD "Designing of buildings on the saline soils" were worked out.
The total number of scientific and methodological publications of the Department is more than 500, among them 15 monographs and more than 43 patents for inventions, 20 tutorials, 3 practical recommendations for research, design and construction.
Experimental, theoretical and practical developments of the department proposed to prospectors, designers and builders
1. Method for the determination of the suffusion compressibility of soils;
2. The ways of detection and prediction of suffusion sag in the bottom of buildings and structures;
3. Effective methods of preparation and arrangement of bases and foundations (more than 10 technologies) in difficult ground conditions and others.
4. Architectural and Construction design and others.
The proposed technologies of testing, calculation, design and construction of bases and foundations on the saline soils when compared with traditional technologies can reduce the labor input of testing in 1.5-3.0 times, reduce the cost of the bases and foundations construction in 1.5-2 times, increase reliability and durability of structures , reliability of construction and operation of buildings and structures.
Efficiency, originality and copyright of the proposed technologies, confirmed by the results of experimental industrial approbation when building a second turn of the Kopetdatsk dam on the V.I.Lenin Karakum Canal, a number of facilities of the Caspian oil and gas complex in the settlement Kulsary, Tengiz, buildings and structures in the cities Atyrau, Aktobe, Karaganda, Temirtau, construction of the roads Almaty-Astana, Pavlodar-Karaganda-Zhezkazgan, and others. The economic effect of the developments and their implementation amounts to tens and hundreds of millions KZT.
The "Construction" department has the state license №000635 to be engaged in architectural and construction activity. There is a functioning Student Engineering Design Bureau (SEDB). The lecturers and students according to the state license develop architectural and construction projects, producing building materials (bricks, paving stones and so on), they do building and assembling work on the real objects.
Employment of graduates
Employment of graduates of the "Construction" department is 100%. There is a wide range of companies and organizations that employ recent graduates of this specialty. They are the major city-forming enterprises LLP "Vershina", "Gran’", "Stroytehnoalyans", "Architecture and design company" and others involved in the construction, design, renovation, management and research activity in the field of construction industry.
The demand for graduates is high. The contracts are often concluded with the third year students.
