Features of the application of regulatory and technical documents regarding inspection and testing of bridges and pipes in Ukraine

Abstract

Introduction. New regulatory documents and legal acts in the field of construction have entered into force. In particular, the Law of Ukraine «On Building Regulations» dated November 5, 2009 No. 1704-VI (as amended). Also, new data appeared regarding the need for periodic inspections of transport facilities, etc. Therefore, it became necessary to revise the set of regulatory and technical documents regarding the examination and testing of bridges and pipes. One of the parts of this work was the development of DSTU 9123:2021, which included, in particular, the issues of inspection and testing processes, which, in the future, will be removed from DBN B.2.3-6:2009. After the approval of the developed DSTU 9123:2021, it is planned to revise DBN B.2.3-6:2009, in particular, in terms of removing procedural provisions from it. The scope of DSTU 9123:2021 applies to the same structures as in DBN B.2.3-6:2009. Problem Statement. At present, the main document on examination and testing of bridges and pipes is DBN B.2.3-6:2009. Some provisions of the norms contradict the existing legislation, some need to be improved, because the experience of their application shows that they do not cover enough provisions that need to be regulated. So, for example, the licensing of such an activity as examination was canceled quite a long time ago. In DBN B.2.3-6:2009, on the other hand, the presence of a license is a mandatory requirement. DSTU 9123:2021 reflects the current state of affairs and settles the contradictions that arose during the application of DBN B.2.3-6:2009. In the future, it is necessary to review DBN B.2.3-6:2009, in particular, to remove the procedural provisions that are already available in DSTU 9123:2021, to refer to it in the regulations so that it becomes mandatory to apply.
