They searched for unattainable architectural perfection using relevant and innovative techniques at the time. In 1970, CRS implemented the \u201cTROIKA\u201d Plan to ensure parity between three interrelated components reflecting design, technology, and management practice. Today, over fifty years later, this framework continues to produce impactful results.
