The team was the best at completing quite a difficult and non-core task – to design a storage facility for liquefied hydrocarbons.
“We did preparations and worked on the task at the same time, learning how to model using software that was new to us and practicing manual calculation methods, which were evaluated at the competition the most, in parallel. It is a great responsibility to represent the division, especially against such experienced competitors as ASE and Mayak. I’m glad that our team was able to do their best,” - says Anton Sashkin, expert and the chief specialist of the general construction department of VNIPIpromtechnologii, JSC.
