After passing the exam, he received the first class diploma for applied mechanics .

From 1890 to 1893 Loleit was involved in the construction of the GUM department store by the architect AN Pomeranzew in the planning, calculation and execution of the reinforced concrete structures together with the architect PP Shchokotow and the engineer WG Schuchow .
