Implementation of innovative technologies in control of the construction and special equipment

Introduction. Trends and prospects of the application of innovations in control of the construction and special equipment in construction process are considered in the article. The relevance of this subject is explained by the general orientation of domestic economy toward the innovative development without which any further improvement of the products quality, an increase in labour productivity, cost reduction of construction production, decrease in the environmental damage, accident rate, damage to workers’ health and improvement of the conditions of their work is impossible. Materials and methods. The system approach, methods of the structural analysis, methods of classification and groups, the comparative and statistical analysis and forecasting, methods of expert estimates were used during the research. Works, published by domestic and foreign authors, experience of construction companies, statistics of Rosstat, materials of the Agency of innovations of the city of Moscow, materials of business programmes of specialized exhibitions were used as the material for the research. Results. The authors systematized the existing innovative technologies of control of the construction and special equipment at the construction stage. These technologies are divided into two main groups: means of telematics and means of achievement of autonomy of equipment and transport. Some advantages of the use of these technologies, as well as some possible negative consequences are identified. The system of indicators of efficiency of introduction and use of innovative technologies of control of special and construction equipment is proposed for the development of an innovations efficiency assessment technique. Conclusions. The analysis proves the efficiency and expediency of innovative technologies in control of the equipment and transport during the construction process. Certain conditions are required for the development of this innovative area, first of all, intensive production of special devices and programmes, a decrease in their price and higher availability, legal regulation improvement, professional development of the construction companies’ staff.
