Engineering documented in Russian and adapted to the agreed local code
Some plant owners, licensors and contractors need design documents in Russian, or adapted to a code derived from GOST, for a plant whose authorities or operating team work with them. We deliver the engineering and coordinate with the local design partner that issues the final local documentation.
Current offer
What we offer
- Conceptual studies, basic and detail design in Russian, or bilingual Russian–English
- Designs to EN/STN, or adapted to local standards (GOST, SNiP, DSTU) where the client specifies them
- Russian-language technical reports, specifications and drawing titles
- Cooperation with the local design institute or partner that issues the final local documentation
- Expert reports on the modernisation of existing units
The applicable code, the language of each document and the split of work with the local partner are agreed for each project.
Typical settings
Plants in Central Asia, the Caucasus, Moldova and Ukraine where Russian is a working language of the owner or the authorities, or where codes derived from GOST still apply. Which code applies is checked for each project and location.

How we work on these projects
The design is done in Michalovce, under the same quality procedure and with the same tools as our European projects. Documents are issued in Russian, or in Russian and English side by side. The standards to be applied are agreed in the contract: EN/STN, or local standards (GOST, SNiP, DSTU) where the client specifies them.
