The article presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies of the effectiveness of the application of a new method of operational control over the consumption of fuel and lubricants (POL) of construction and reclamation machines using GIS technologies. Operational control over the consumption of fuels and lubricants is necessary to place orders for their purchase on stock exchanges, to manage the route of refueling vehicles between construction sites and to assess the continuity of the machines at the construction site. Remote sensing of the work of the organization’s construction machines will allow you to quickly manage the processes of their transfer from facility to facility, as well as to monitor the timing of specific work (production assignment) by these machines, units and teams.

Vast steppes of Kazakhstan mainly consist of stubble and sandy loam soils, as well as salt marshes with solid surface. Therefore, it is possible to drive on them on conventional vehicles with pneumatic wheels. Where the land is developed for grain crops, the surface of the soil is soft, and where fodder crop rotations are cultivated, the surface of the soil is as solid as stubble. Wherever land is used for economic needs, wheeled cars, tractors and agricultural machinery drive there. Unfortunately, they deteriorate a lot. Service life time of trucks and cars in off-road conditions compared with service lifetime of them in urban environments is reduced by almost four times. Tractor trucks, tractor cultivators and all types of self-moving wheeled agricultural machinery are annually subjected to seasonal repairs as a result of agricultural harvesting. Moreover, their maintenance is expensive. Accordingly, we cannot say that all goes well, but this happens unwillingly. What shall we do if there are no other types of progressive machinery? Mechanicians rush to answer the question if there is a need to introduce something new. They say-"What else could you ask for? All machines work. " In fact, according to scientifi c forecasting, the design of these machines are supposed to be completely different in off-road conditions. Relief irregularities of soil supporting surface affect outrigger wheels with round cover disk strongly. In such cases not only a lot of energy is expended, but all the components and assemblies of undercarriage undergo vibrations, which causes severe wear to occur.

В процессе проектирования сухого дока, строящегося в г. Большой Камень, у российских специалистов возникли расхождения с проектантами из КНР по вопросам обеспечения остойчивости батопорта и его балластировки. По мнению российской стороны, требование китайских норм к метацентрической высоте (не менее 1,0 м) является чрезмерно завышенным. Кроме того, представлялось желательным использовать постоянный жидкий балласт вместо твёрдого. К решению возникших вопросов были привлечены представители ДВФУ. В работе рассмотрены результаты оценки остойчивости батопорта при использовании твёрдого и жидкого постоянного балласта. Сопоставлены требования к остойчивости батопортов в Китае, Великобритании и Франции. Рассмотрена динамическая остойчивость батопорта, в том числе для случая рывка буксирного троса при отводе батопорта от дока с учётом требований российского регистра. Выполненные исследования были приняты во внимание при окончательном решении вопроса о типе постоянного балласта. The main object of Shipbuilding Complex "Zvezda" shipbuilding complex is a dry dock. The dry dock is located in Bolshoi Kamen city. There are some discrepancies between of Russian and Chinese engineers about the ballast type and stability of dry dock gate. As an example the Chinese stability requirement for metacentric height (at least 1.0 m) is considered as excessively high. In addition two types of dry dock gate ballasts (solid and liquid) were considered. The authors were involved in this research. In this paper we present the results of dry dock gate stability assessment for solid and liquid types of ballast. For this research the dry dock gate stability requirements of China, Great Britain and France standards were compared. The dynamic stability of dry dock gate was considered for the case of a tug rope tension with taking into account the requirements of the Russian register of shipping. The results of this research were taken into account as recommendations for design and construction of the dry dock gate.
