Production engineering methods and geotechnical instrumentation for the construction and reconstruction of railway beds in high temperatures in the Arctic zone are proposed. High-technology construction facilitates the development of transport infrastructure of the energy-producing industries in the Arctic. The example of the Northern Latitudinal Railway (NLR) highlights the probability of dangerous cryogenic processes and phenomena during works, such as waterlogging and the structural decline of the active soil layer, the development of taliks, and frost cracking, which lead to a decrease in bearing capacity of soil. The features of the construction and production plans used at the sites of railway embankment reconstruction with heavy-duty equipment are outlined. New process control methods have been developed based on the selection of and systematic changes in the parameters of maximum permissible construction loads depending on the results of geotechnical structure monitoring. The structural diagram of high technology for strengthening the weak subgrade soil under the conditions of talik development is substantiated. In order to regulate intensive process parameters, the vehicle fleet needs to be equipped with positioning devices and automation process control systems. The effectiveness of process control in terms of improving the reliability and accelerating roadbed consolidation is substantiated.

The rise in highway design and construction requires ensuring the reliability of these infrastructure projects. This is especially important for construction on weak soils. The number of design solutions is equally on the rise for reinforcing the grounds of soil transport structures. Examples include the use of various types of piles, and structures made of sand, gravel and other draining soils placed in a shell of geosynthetic material. The article presents the results of the authors' work on the substantiation and implementation of various constructive solutions to strengthen the insufficiently strong bases on railway and highway construction facilities (railway lines Losevo-Kamennogorsk, Moscow-Kazan high-speed railroad, Moscow-Saint Petersburg high-speed highway, etc.).

The purpose of this article is to investigate the problematic aspects of standardization of energy management systems in Russian enterprises. The main characteristics of energy management, existing standards in the field of energy management are given. To study the best practices and the effectiveness of the implementation of the energy management system in 2017, the Ministry of Energy of Russia, with the participation of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Russian Energy Agency" the Ministry of Energy of Russia, carried out the monitoring of energy efficiency management and the implementation of energy management systems in the practice of Russian companies. The peculiarity of the introduction of energy management systems in the practice of managing Russian enterprises has been identified, which consists in the fact that it occurs based on the already implemented quality management system, environmental management, labor protection, when a lot 94 of work has been done (document management, internal audit system, corrective actions, training, provisions providing feedback and the possibility of submitting proposals, etc.). Like any quality management system, the successful implementation of this standard depends on the involvement of all levels and functions of the organization's management in this process, and especially on top management.
