In what cases is a survey of engineering networks of buildings carried out? A list of primary documentation for starting a survey of communications, conducting an examination and drawing up a technical opinion.
A comprehensive analysis of buildings requires a survey of external engineering networks and internal communication systems in order to determine the technical condition of the equipment and its elements. The expert evaluation procedure is obligatory when it is necessary to substantiate the decision on the possibility of complete or partial reconstruction, overhaul and modernization of the object under study.
The essence of the survey is to study the functional characteristics, their compliance with current technical standards and design and executive documentation of water pipes, sewerage, ventilation shafts, heating systems, gas supply and other engineering equipment. Based on the data obtained, specialists will be able to provide recommendations on the operation or dismantling of old ones, design new engineering networks and systems, determine the possibility of connecting additional equipment and calculate the amount of work.
Technical documentation to start a communications survey
According to the regulations, before starting work, the examiners must familiarize themselves with the current technical documentation of the engineering networks of the building.
Drawing up a work plan, setting tasks and expertise to assess the technical condition is carried out for the following objects:
- multi-storey residential buildings and cottage settlements;
- public institutions (hospitals, clinics, kindergartens, schools, educational institutions);
- office buildings (including the surrounding area);
- industrial facilities, warehouse and production facilities;
- technical structures and agricultural buildings;
- sports centers, stadiums, ice palaces;
- construction of urban infrastructure.
For the purpose of primary research, survey engineers study drawings (executive and working), acceptance and testing certificates, technical passports of the equipment used in engineering networks, certificates for operation. All norms, work regulations and requirements are set out in GOST R 53778-2010.
Scope of work on the study of engineering networks
