Along with his practice, Salmanovich was active in teaching at various higher educational institutions for the training of specialists in architectural and engineering specialties. It is no exaggeration to say that Salmanovich stood at the origins of the development of Russian engineering and construction science, the rise of which occurred in the second half of the XIX century.
