After the death of Prince Repnin (31 July 1748), the Engineering Corps was taken over by Engineer General Mayur Hannibal. He was given only a combat unit. Were the economic and inspection parts of the Directorate in the office itself?). His activity, in relation to the Field Engineering Troops, like the activity of Prince Relnin, also did not manifest itself in anything special. However, according to the research of Mr. Vasilyev during the management of the General. Hannibal, in 1749, a special Engineering company was established for the southern borders, “from army soldiers accustomed to work, 258 people, with them included in the general corps.” Moreover, at the main headquarters of Field Marshal Suvorov, a special “temporary expeditionary force” was established, independent of the General Feldzeichmeister, and in each place of work there was a “commission committee”, consisting of the Engineer-Colonel Devolant.
The establishment of these units of the Engineering Troops was of a temporary nature. It was caused by the war of that time, and, at the end of it, these units were disbanded.
