Road building machinery.

I am a student of the Bratsk State Technical University. My future speciality is road building machinery. In order to become an educated specialist I am to study the following subjects: physics, chemistry, mathematics, social sciences, foreign language, strength of materials, electrical engineering, computer-programming and many others.

I believe that the economic prosperity of the country is closely connected with the adequate and efficient road network.

A great variety of different kinds of machinery is found in highway construction. The work is divided into several technologically completed processees. The building of highways connected with a great volume of earth work is one of the most difficult, most labour-consuming process. This type of work is produced by means of bulldozers, scrapers, grades and excavators. They are divided into three classes. The first class includes bulldozers of different types which carry out the work with the aid of a blade mounted on a tractor of either crawler or a wheel type. Scrapers belong to the second class of earth-moving machines. As for revolving shovels they belong to the third class.

All modern plants are highly efficient machines, wich are built to give years of service if properly used, handled and maintained.

And I’ll do all my best to master my profession to become a qualified specialist.
