The introduction of information modeling technologies (TIM) into construction practice is irreversible all over the world. The effectiveness of the use of TIM has been proven at all stages of the life cycle of capital construction facilities: at the pre-design phase, at the stages of design, construction, operation, repair, reconstruction, de-installation and disposal. A variety of software for digitalization of construction allows you to choose the optimal product for a specific type of task. Until recently, most of the Russian information modeling technology market belonged to software products of foreign IT companies. Due to the changed conditions, there is a forced transition to domestic TIM systems. The challenges that arise in this case require joint actions by government agencies, software developers in the field of TIM, construction companies and educational organizations.

The article presents conditions for ensuring safe performance of construction and installation works at heights when constructing or reconstructing agricultural production buildings on the basis of collective protective equipment. The article shows structural designs and main parameters of fall arrest devices and safety fences that are intended for buildings of those types. In such protective equipment, synthetic netting materials are a defining element that ensures the required safety level. The article specifies the composition of process control and management documentation that determines a procedure and a sequence for use of collective protective equipment during construction and installation works. Types of works are specified that require that protective equipment is used to prevent objects and people from falling from the height of a rigid-frame building under construction. The article suggests the composition of data for determining the quantity of safety fence sections to be installed along the building perimeter. The developed calculation and test procedure for prototypes of fall arrest devices allowed us to establish that the net fabric camber and values of dynamic loads occurring if an object fell onto the net were interrelated to a certain extent. The performed studies produced dependences of net camber values versus the tension value of the securing rope. Taking into account the requirement of injury prevention in the event of a person’s falling onto a net, dynamic effects on the fallen object when caught by a fall arrest device were evaluated. The established negative accelerations of an object falling from height onto a fall arrest device’s net indicate that dynamic overloads occurring at this are within the permissible limit values.

In this article the authors continue to explore the difficulties of organizing and carrying out capital repairs in medical institutions in the conditions of their functioning. The article focuses on the problem of lack of informativity of the regulatory documents about organization and realization of capital repair of medical institutions in the conditions of their functioning, which was mentioned in the authors' previous article. The authors analyze the regulatory documents, explore the experience of capital repair of existing medical and preventive institutions and highlight the main reasons, why the regulatory documents aren't so informative. The first reason - there are no recomendations about, how medical institution should keep its functioning according the time of capital repair. The second reason - there are no recommendations how renovation should be orginized out while maintaining all hygienic requirements of hospitals functioning (noise level, cleanliness, etc.). The third reason - regulatory documents contradict each other in some issues. All these reasons lead to the following consequences: delayed deadlines, lower quality of work, higher repair costs, lower working conditions for staff and lower quality of health services. The authors propose a comprehensive approach to a solution not previously reported in their research: updating the regulatory documents by adding special sections on capital repairs, creating special guidelines that will be only about capital repair of medical institutions and improving the qualifications of specialists.

The purpose of this work is to study the thermal stress of the furnace of a fire-tube boiler and its effect on the design of the boiler. To study the effect of thermal stress and furnace proportions on the ratio of heating surface areas, the calculated resistance was tested. Calculations of heat-tube boilers of sectional hot-water boilers with different proportions of the furnace at different thermal loads of the same furnace volume are performed. The calculation of each heating surface is carried out by the method of successive approximations, based in this case on the chord method. In the calculation process, the flue gas temperature at the outlet of the heating surface was first set, and then refined by successive approximations. To reduce the overall balance of the boiler, another global approximation is made when the temperature determined at the outlet of the last heating surface is set at the beginning of the calculation – in the heat balance, where it affects the loss with outgoing gases and the efficiency of the boiler. It is determined that the optimal.
