Abstract
Analysis of the scientific legacy of V.D. Lomtadze shows that the main directions of engineering geology have been developed by many followers and have been recognized both at home and abroad. Three laws of engineering geology, proposed by V.D. Lomtadze in 1978, namely the law of geological correspondence, the law of accounting the dynamics of the earth crust and the law of detailed study of the geological environment have been confirmed in modern scientific research. At present there is some stagnation in engineering research due to the reduction in the rate of construction, and the primary statement of V.D. Lomtadze that engineering geology is aimed at solving problems of rational use and protection of the geological environment turns out to be true.
