  • Analysis of traditional and agile project management methodologies

    The article analyzes traditional and flexible project management methodologies, their key features, advantages and limitations. Traditional methodologies such as the waterfall model and the critical path method rely on sequential planning that is suitable for projects with fixed requirements. Agile methodologies (Agile, Scrum) are highly adaptable, which is important for projects with frequent changes. The authors compare the conditions of application of both approaches and describe the criteria for choosing a methodology depending on the type and dynamics of the project. The article will be useful for both practitioners and researchers in the field of project management.

  • Fibroconcrete for the construction of oil and gas industry facilities

    During the construction and operation of oil and gas industry facilities, there are increased requirements for the quality of concrete. To this end, it is necessary to use new formulations and their preparation technology to obtain concretes of the required density with high strength, frost resistance, water resistance, crack resistance and, ultimately, increased durability. The use of a superplasticizing additive, basalt or polymer fiber and a nanocarbon additive in the specified amounts in the composition of fine-grained concrete contributed to an increase in the uniformity and density of the mixture and, accordingly, an increase in the strength characteristics of concrete at various hardening times. As a result of testing concrete samples for frost resistance, a mark of 400-500 cycles of freezing and thawing was obtained. This makes it possible to use these compositions of fine-grained concrete in harsh climatic and difficult engineering and geological conditions of construction and operation of oil and gas industry facilities.

  • The use of fish waste in washing liquids and concretes

    In the process of drilling oil or gas wells, increased friction forces of the drill string against the walls of the well, as well as in the rock-crushing tool. The use of various formulations of washing liquid using surfactants from fish production waste contributes to solving a significant part of the problems. The presence of fatty acids in fish waste, which have a significant surface-active effect, allows them to be used as plasticizing additives in concrete. As a result of the introduction of these wastes into the concrete mixture, its rheological properties are improved, as well as the strength characteristics of the hardened fine-grained fiber concrete significantly increase. The use of fish production waste in the concrete mixture will reduce the cost of concrete production, and the environmental situation will improve due to the disposal of industrial waste.

  • The influence of the human factor on the accuracy of plan execution in project management in construction

    In an era when knowledge is becoming the foundation of a company's success, skillful human factor management is of great importance. The employee is the main generator of knowledge, skills and abilities. Personnel is an indispensable element in the production system, as nothing happens without human involvement. A person and their qualifications become a key determinant of the efficiency of the production process. The perception of employees through the prism of capital capable of generating profits is being introduced as a concept into daily management practice. However, the stereotypes that have formed over the years about the benefits of using cheap, unskilled labor as an easily replaceable component cannot be quickly overcome. The effective functioning of the production system and the achievement of its goals require the introduction of modern human factor management concepts that respond to the challenges occurring in the internal and external environment of modern organizations. Today, it is becoming necessary to take into account the problems associated with quantitative and qualitative transformations of human resources. The qualification of personnel is an important factor in the accurate execution of the production plan, which is confirmed by empirical research data.

  • Application of geomechanical modeling in the design of reservoirs of complex shape as part of underground gas storage facilities

    The rocks that form a natural geological reservoir for underground gas storage, during the operation of UGS, are exposed to prolonged cyclic loads caused by periodic injections and withdrawals of natural gas. At the same time, it is possible to develop and accumulate residual deformations in rocks that cause irreversible changes in the properties of rocks and this must be taken into account when designing and operating UGS.

  • Methods for determining the calculated lengths of centrally loaded steel columns when pivotally adjacent to reinforced concrete bases

    This article discusses several ways to determine the calculated lengths of steel columns in the plane of the frame. By analyzing existing techniques, the most successful method of selecting the calculated lengths for steel columns in a free multi-storey frame was determined. Taking into account the non-standard case of fastening crossbars to the considered section in the frame of the overpass, using the LIRA CAD PC, as well as the Crystal module (implemented in SCAD), the loss of stability of equally loaded elements in the most sensitive area is clearly shown.

  • Activated dry mix for the preparation of mortars and fine-grained concrete

    This article presents the developed compositions of dry mortar mixtures for the preparation of fine-grained concrete. For the preparation of these mixtures, the technology of electromagnetic action on the dry components of solutions was applied. As a result of the use of a magnetic field to activate and increase the reactivity of the mixture, the physical and mechanical characteristics of fine-grained concrete have significantly improved. The increase in the compressive strength of the samples reached more than 70% compared to the strength of samples prepared using conventional technology without the use of magnetic treatment of dry components of the mixture.

  • Weighting coatings of pipes made of high-strength fine-grained concrete

    In this paper, the analysis of technical solutions in the manufacturing technology of concreted pipes is considered. When constructing underwater crossings, the most reliable and effective method of ballasting is the method involving the use of pipes with a solid concrete coating. Concrete coatings, among other things, provide protection of the main pipeline from mechanical damage, as well as from the effects of an aggressive environment. The compositions of fine-grained concrete for concreting the surface of steel pipes using non-recycled waste of steel wire rope or pipe production are proposed. It has been established that the use of these wastes in certain dosages contributes to an increase in the strength of concrete, high frost resistance while reducing the amount of expensive heavy aggregates.
