Abstract
The article is devoted to the issue of preserving the architectural heritage of the outstanding Russian engineer V.G. Shukhov. Three objects are considered: the Moscow Radio Tower on Shabolovka, the "Shukhov Span" of the Sheet-rolling Shop and the Water Tower located in Vyksa, Nizhny Novgorod region. The main technical parameters of these structures and the results of their technical inspection are presented, emergency measures taken to ensure the safety of the Radio Tower in Moscow and recommendations for the restoration of all three structures with the transfer of the Sheet Rolling Shop and the Water Tower to the central part of the city Vyksa. It is planned to recreate the historical appearance of the buildings, as well as the improvement of the adjacent territory. It is supposed to restore the geometric shape of the cross-section by laser spraying of powdered metal, and only if it is impossible to restore the element, its replacement is provided. In order to preserve the historical appearance, the joints of steel structures will be on bolts imitating rivets. Archaeological investigations are planned during the excavation, as areas of preserved cultural strata of the cultural heritage object "Manor-industrial complex, XVIII-XIX centuries" may lie within the boundaries of the construction territory (Vyksa).
