Specialized in transport infrastructure, their fatigue and durability, their maintenance and
retrofitting, implementation of new technologies, reinforcement and renovation of existing
structures, also passages for animals and culverts. He’s involved in implementation projects of no-dig
trenchless technologies in road and railway transport infrastructure such as CIPP technology.
While working at the Road and Bridges Research Institute for over 20 years he provided many testing
of modern civil engineering structures in natural–scale, among others the buried flexible structures.
He has also implemented new methods of concrete testing, and many new materials and
technologies in road and bridge structures especially:
protection waterproofing and expansion joints,
repair and reinforcing of concrete,
• equipment of bridges and roads,
