      • In 1710, on Menshikov's orders, a dam and a sawmill for ship timber were built on the Izhora.
      • The new mill of 1722, by decree of Peter the Great, gave rise to the Admiralty Izhora Works.
      • The plant office was built in 1803–1804 by the Scottish architect William Hastie.
      • In 1818 the Skory was built here — Russia's first paddle-wheel warship with a steam engine.
      • Today the plant makes equipment for nuclear power, including reactor vessels.
