Shukhov Tower got a new life
On the Oka, restoration work took place on the Shukhov tower, one of the most popular places in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The monument to the Russian architectural avant-garde was created by the famous engineer Vladimir Grigorievich Shukhov, whose name is the main university of the Belgorod region.
The Shukhov tower on the Oka was designed by Vladimir Shukhov in the form of a mesh shell and is the world's only single-lane hyperbolic multi-section power transmission tower. It has a twin - the second tower is located in Moscow, but it is a television tower.
The recommendation for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List speaks for itself - this fantastic site will continue to attract the attention of both engineers and architects and many connoisseurs of historical heritage for a long time to come.

And this makes us very happy, as his fellow countrymen and successors of engineering traditions ”, - noted the director of the Engineering and Construction Institute of BSTU named after V.G.
