Dr. Ruslan Marzaganov completed his studies in industrial and civil engineering at the Grozny State Oil Institute. After graduating from the Institute with distinction in 1983, he was asked to continue his scientific work and engage in teaching at the Department of Construction Production until 1991. Between 1985-1989 he studied at the Correspondence Postgraduate School at the Moscow Engineering and Construction Institute, now known as the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering (MGSU).
In 1990 he defended his PhD thesis at the "Research Institute of Concrete and Reinforced Concrete (NIIZHB) named after A.A. Gvozdev" on the topic: Solar thermal treatment of elements from structural claydite-concrete on tensing cement. In 1991, after many years of cooperation, he was invited to participate in the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) at the Technical University of Braunschweig in the Institute of Building Materials, Reinforced Concrete Structures and Fire Protection (iBMB TU Braunschweig), as well as at the State Testing Laboratory of Construction Materials and Constructions in Braunschweig (MPA Braunschweig), where he continued contract work on the development of solutions for the restoration of architectural monuments.
Since 1995, he has been working as an international expert in the development, transfer and implementation of industrial construction technologies in the CIS region and Europe. Notable project included being a project manager for developments for Gazprom, OAO Unified Energy System of Russia, the Governments of the Stavropol Territory, Moscow and Tyumen regions, and the Government of Ukraine.
Since 1999, he has been developing, designing and constructing house-building plants, which included developing the Filigran prefabricated monolithic construction technology. The regulatory framework for the construction of monolithic (element) structure under Dr. Marzaganov's authorship has been implemented in Russia and CIS countries. Over 1,200,000 m2 of residential and public buildings in Moscow and the Moscow Region were built with the technology under Dr. Marzaganov's supervision alone. By the order of the Government of Moscow 2446-RP dated December 5, 2005, the Filigran technology was recommended for use in Moscow.
Since 2006, R. M. Marzaganov has headed Sommer Russia LLC (joint venture with Sommer Anlagentechnik GmbH). Since 2011, he has been the coordinator of the international consortium COPIT, which includes leading European and Russian companies in the field of prefabricated monolithic (pre-cast) construction. Over 1/3 of all automated pre-cast production lines built on the territory of the Russian Federation in the last 10 years were developed and built by Dr. Marzaganov, including plants with a robotisation level of over 80%, exceeding foreign analogues.
Dr. Marzaganov also contributed to the introduction of digitalisation technologies, namely the employment of BIM 5D throughout the entire life cycle of construction and operation of facilities. Using BIM and mobile & rapid pre-cast construction, Dr. Marzaganov is actively generating Smart City concepts to push the CIS region and other countries towards an industrial revolution towards Industry 4.0. Most recently, he has been tasked to construct nuclear power facilities for ROSATOM (Russian State Atomiс Energy Corporation) using these unique industrial technologies.
He is a member of numerous institutional committees in the Russian Federation, including the Committee on Entrepreneurship in the field of construction at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation; and the Scientific and Technical Council for the Development of the Building Materials Industry at the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia. Dr. Marzaganov authored numerous scientific and regulatory publications in the field of engineering, material sciences and industry.
