ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the problems of construction in the northern regions of Siberia, in the northern part of Tiumen oblast where investment activity and the concentration of construction-installation work will be highest not only on the scale of Siberia but for the entire country. It presents the basic characteristics of construction in Siberia. According to the very cautious estimates of Soviet experts, implementing the planned investment program in Siberia will require doubling the amount of construction work in the region. A direct consequence of the insufficient investment in Siberia's construction complex is the low technological level of construction organizations. The symptoms of Soviet industrial design and construction technology are characteristic of investment activity in Siberia to a greater extent. A fundamental factor hindering the realization of Soviet investment plans, including investment programs in Siberia, is the obsolescence of design principles and methods of erecting buildings and structures and the incompatibility of construction technology with the tasks that it faces.
