FEATURES OF CAPITAL INVESTMENT FORMATION FOR CREATION of MACHINE SYSTEMS for UNWANTED VEGETATION REMOVAL

Abstract

Activities fotr timely removal of growing unwanted tree and shrub vegetation (TSV) for the maintenance of transport linear infrastructure facilities in proper condition in accordance with the requirements of a number of regulatory documents have been organized. Taking into account previously revealed insufficient study of the issue of determining the possible effectiveness of the use of certain technological processes for TSV removal in various natural and industrial conditions, the purpose of the study was to determine the values of capital investments for the formation of machine systems, mechanisms and equipment for the implementation of technological processes for removing unwanted tree and shrub vegetation from territories of linear infrastructure objects (LIO). A system of machines, mechanisms and equipment of various technical levels and price categories was proposed to implement the research goal of removing TSV from the territories of LIO. The system corresponds to modern concepts and trends in the development of technology in the field of logging and forestry. With the help of mathematical apparatus proposed in the article, the author has obtained intervals and amounts of capital investments for the formation of machine systems for the most characteristic technological processes for removing TSV. The term "plateau of capital investments for the formation of machine systems" has been proposed and recommendations for production on an economically justified comparison of a number of technological processes in order to identifying opportunities to replace them have been made.
