The article discusses the development of engineering and geological research on the example of prospecting and exploration of popular common (construction) minerals in the Krasnodar Territory. A comparative characteristic of the history of engineering geology development is given by analyzing the data of the Fund of the "KUBANGEOLOGY" and the planned economy of the USSR. The set goals and objectives of the planned economy of the USSR directly stimulated engineering and geological research. The peak of prospecting and exploration of popular common (construction) minerals in the Krasnodar Territory falls on the decade from 1970 to 1980, and the main rates - for the period from 1950 to 1980 - during the intensive growth of road, industrial and civil construction. Having arisen to solve the problems of engineering and economic development of territories, engineering geology developed not only in a geological, but geotechnical channel, as evidenced by the separation of surveys from it. The final differentiation from the beginning of 1960 of engineering geology into engineering-geological surveys and engineering geology of building materials proves the need for separation of surveys due to the accumulated regulatory framework and the scale of engineering-geological research, therefore, of the "KUBANGEOLOGY" switched to monitoring of hazardous processes of the geological environment, which is confirmed by the analysis of the fund.
