The director's word
Under the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, the Research Centre in Industrial Technologies, was created by the Executive Decree N°. 15-109 of May 3rd, 2015, amending the Executive Decree N°. 92-280 of July 6The CRTI, ex-CSC, has a human potential of 750 officials, including 300 permanent researchers, 200 technical staff, and 150 experts and engineers of the subsidiary CSC expertise Spa. Moreover, the centre includes several valorization structures throughout the national territory.
Before acquiring the status of (EPST), the centre has passed through different stages of development, starting with the creation of welding and nondestructive laboratory (LSCND) in 1985 up to the creation of a national Research Centre in 1992.
The CRTI, ex-CSC, has an overall responsibility for implementing necessary research programs for the development of welding, destructive and nondestructive testing technologies. Nearly thirty years later, the mission remains as relevant. However, over the decades, the its missions has developed and enhanced, which has required redefining and changing the name of the centre. This the centre is now called “Research Centre in Industrial Technologies”.
The CRTI is mainly responsible for:
- Carrying out necessary research projects for the development of industrial technologies, including assembly techniques, nondestructive testing, and corrosion.
- Organizing, developing and promoting quality assurance and quality control of industrial plants.
- Developing and contributing to achieving compilations, norms, and standards related to the technologies of assemblies, nondestructive testing, industrial plants and corrosion of metallic materials.
- Improving, verifying and using the welding, nondestructive testing, analysis and measurement equipment.
- Developing applied research in the field of iron and steel, such as in elaboration and characterization of special steels and alloys.
- Mastering and developing mechatronics and applied maintenance to industrial plants.
- Developing research programs in the elaboration, the characterization and the study of nonmetallic materials behavior, such as composites, ceramics, etc…..
- Developing research programs in the technology of materials surface treatment and their applications.
- The headquarter pole of Cherega, Algiers (CRTI) which is composed of five (05) research divisions.
- Setif pole (UDCMA), located in the industrial zone and specialized in thin films and coating
- Annaba pole (URMA), located at Badji Mokhtar university campus. It is specialized in advanced materials.
- Another pole (URASM), in Annaba located in El Hadjar Complex specialized in Iron and steel.
- Bousmail’s pole which is composed of the Subsidiary and the technological platform that are valorization structures.
Exchanges, scientific and technical cooperation and technical assistance of the domestic industry are the cruxes of both our policy and development strategy. Within this context, the CRTI has set up framework conventions, research contracts and provisions. With several academic institutions and research structures on the one hand and with strategic domestic enterprises and multinational companies operating in the field of hydrocarbons on the other hand.
This strategy has enabled the mobility of researchers, the valorization of scientific research results and the effective problem-solving of the socio-economic sector. As such, the selection of our research programs. Primarily, in the needs to be expressed by the domestic industry in our area of intervention.
The CRTI has established a subsidiary, CSC Expertise Spa, which is accredited according to the international standard ISO / IEC 17020 to contribute to the economic development of the country as it is meant to be a reliable link between the centre and the domestic industry. A hundred and fifty (150) highly qualified engineers and experts are devoted to maintaining the domestic industry by using their potentials and their technological knowledge & Expertise in the different structures of the centre. Aware of the different challenges and competitiveness among the industrial sectors, the General Directorate has put a great emphasis on the quality of its laboratories. Mechanical testing, chemical analysis and calibration and NDT verification laboratories are accredited according to the international standard ISO / IEC 17025, to highly contribute to the technical assistance of the domestic industry.
Along with the real support provided to research, the centre is positioned to increasingly support the development of the domestic industry by working tirelessly to solve technical constraints linked to scientific and technical development, and, constantly, keeping an ear open to its national and international partners, so as to identify their needs and implement both human and material resources required to provide effective solutions to the problems within its sphere of competence.
