Introduction. The increasing demands for quality and safety in the operation of construction objects necessitate a clear delineation of the processes of inventory and technical passporting. Although the terminology is similar, these processes differ in the qualification requirements for the practitioners and in the specific procedures for documenting the results. Such discrepancies pose significant challenges in the planning and implementation of construction projects.
Problem Statement. The presence of numerous regulatory documents with varied approaches to conducting these operations complicates the interpretation of the terms applied in practice. Divergent approaches to technical inspections result in delays, increased costs, and elevated operational risks. This situation underscores the need to develop unified approaches to inventory and technical passporting for construction objects, motorways, real estate objects, and elements of urban improvement.
Purpose. The aim of this work is to perform a comparative analysis of the processes of inventory and technical passporting in order to identify their common and distinctive characteristics and to formulate recommendations for improving the method of these operations. The synthesis of the obtained data is intended to ensure timely updates of information regarding the technical condition of objects and to optimize control processes over their operation.
Materials and methods. The analysis is based on the study of the regulatory framework governing the technical inspection and documentation of results in four main areas: the inspection, survey, and technical passporting of construction objects; the technical passporting of motorways; the technical inventory of real estate objects; and the inventory and technical passporting of urban improvement objects. The method involves systematizing the relevant normative acts, analyzing the procedures of technical inspection, assessing the qualification requirements for practitioners, and evaluating the efficiency of the documentation produced as a result of these operations. The results are presented in the form of a consolidated table of regulatory provisions, which clearly outlines the requirements for each area.
Results. The analysis demonstrates that, despite the common classification of these objects as parts of the construction complex, the method for conducting the operations varies according to the type of object and the specific objectives. For construction objects, a comprehensive approach is applied that includes linear measurements, drafting of drawings, calculations, and the preparation of detailed reports to objectively assess their technical condition. In the case of motorways, technical passporting is based on recording both the initial and current technical characteristics, which allows for the timely determination of maintenance and repair needs. The technical inventory of real estate objects is conducted prior to putting the object into operation to confirm compliance with the project documentation, ensure the legality of ownership registration, and monitor technical and economic indicators. Inventory and technical passporting of urban improvement objects facilitate the systematization of information regarding the condition of these elements and enable a prompt response to changing operating conditions through scheduled or unscheduled inspections.
Conclusions. The results summarize both the common and specific aspects of the inventory and technical passporting processes, thereby revealing the need for the unification and the enhancement of regulatory frameworks. Recommendations for improving the qualification of practitioners and implementing modern inspection technologies are aimed at reducing operational risks and ensuring objective control over the technical condition of objects, which is critically important for the effective management of urban development activities and the successful implementation of investment projects.
