He served in the shipyards of St. Petersburg . In 1890-1893, as an assistant to the observer at the Baltic Shipyard, he participated in the construction of the gunboat “ Brave ”, in 1894, as an assistant to the builder in the construction of the squadron battleships “ Sevastopol ” and “ Petropavlovsk ” on Galerny Island .

On September 12, 1902, a cruiser of the 2nd rank Almaz was laid at the Baltic Shipyard. The Maritime Technical Committee planned to build a full-fledged cruiser of the 2nd rank (of the Novik type or according to the design of Admiral S. O. Makarov ), but it turned out that the necessary documentation was missing. Since the Baltic Shipyard has already begun preparations for construction, it was decided instead of a warship to lay a “messenger ship for the Pacific Ocean” (in fact, a yacht for the governor in the Far East, Admiral E.I. Alekseev ). The ship was built and launched on May 20, 1903. With the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War , Almaz was transferred to the Pacific Ocean. Participated in the Tsushima battle , and was the only one of the cruisers who broke into Vladivostok [1] .

In 1907 he was promoted to colonel of the Marine Engineers Corps. In late 1909 - early 1910 he carried out general supervision of the construction of new mine loaders Amur and Yenisei [1] .
On August 2, 1910, he was appointed head of the Imperial Admiralty Shipbuilding Plant, succeeding Lieutenant General P.E. Chernigovsky, who died in July 1910. In 1911 he was promoted to major general . Since January 19, 1914, after the merger of the Baltic and Admiralty factories, he became the manager of the new enterprise [1] .
