ACM Group

The company was founded in 2003 in St. Petersburg. Originally it was a "Personal Creative Architectural Workshop", created by architects-restorers who worked in the State Hermitage. Now "ACM Group" is a company of professional restorers, operating in many cities and regions of Russia - St. Petersburg and Leningrad region, Moscow, Astrakhan, Kaliningrad, Norilsk, in the Republics of Crimea and Karelia, the Chechen Republic, the Republic of Ingushetia and the Republic of Sakha, as well as carrying out international restoration projects in Europe and the Republic of Uzbekistan. According to the company's projects, more than 160 monument buildings have been restored.

The results were way better than expected—the endoscope grabbed a camera controlled from the ground and showed all the structures and artifacts inside the crypt on the screen. There is room for improvement, such as “teaching” the endoscope to capture internal dimensions that are inaccessible to ground-based equipment. But that will all happen in the near future...
