What happened

Scientists at the Tver State Technical University developed and patented a multi-purpose prefabricated slab for transport construction in the Arctic.

Why it matters

The slab may be adapted during manufacturing: polymer composite plates and fittings may be selected for specific facilities, like a highway, and airfield or infrastructures for an oil and gas field, the university's press service told TASS.

Common ground

"The prefabricated slab is multi-purpose as it may be structurally modified during manufacturing by selecting appropriate protective polymer composite plates and composite reinforcement for specific use in road and airfield construction, in the development of…
