The Department's research activities include the following: 

• examination of the technical condition and determination of the safety degree of industrial and other structures, 
• investigating the impact of mining exploitation on existing surface buildings and forecasting changes in the stability and durability of building structures 
• development of principles for evaluation of building structures, 
• development of technologies for performing measurement work related to setting up and modelling the spatial shape of mechanical equipment and objects, 
• examination of displacements and deformations of industrial objects and engineering structures together with geometric and constructional interpretation 
• use of thermovision technology in the assessment of the technical condition of industrial facilities, residential buildings, pipelines and others 
• development of modern technologies for execution and inventory measurements and displacement measurements with the use of electronic instruments and GPS satellite technology, 
• use of RTK-GPS satellite technology to solve various engineering problems, 
• determination of the location of underground cables and devices as well as subsurface cavities using non-invasive methods 
• modelling of objects on the basis of point clouds obtained with different measurement technologies 
• carrying out diagnostic tests in the analysis of technical condition and geometry of rail routes, 
• application of various measurement techniques for determining the geometry of rail routes as well as for drawing up designs of track alignment.
