ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL APPROACHES TO THE PROTECTION OF TERRITORIES OF SETTLEMENTS

Abstract

The article deals with topical issues of engineering preparation of territories in the context of modern urban development.
Engineering training is one of the key steps in the formation of a safe, stable and functionally suitable urban environment. The
increase in the density of development, the active development of new territories, including areas with adverse engineering
and geological conditions, require a systematic approach to the projection and implementation of a complex of engineering
measures.
The work analyzes the main directions of engineering preparation, such as vertical planning, the organization of surface
sewerage, the reduction of groundwater level, drainage and reclamation of wetlands and flooded lands, including peatlands,
strengthening of the shores of aqueous objects, as well as anti -core and anti -sedentary measures. Particular attention is paid
to the comprehensive approach to the protection of territories from hazardous natural and man -made processes, which
involves taking into account local conditions, type of soil, relief, climatic characteristics, availability of water bodies and
infrastructure.
Examples of implementation of such systems are given in practice, in particular within the settlements located on slopes,
in river floodplains, in areas with high groundwater or in the area of active shifts. The role of engineering training in ensuring
the durability of construction, reducing the cost of operation and increasing the level of environmental safety. As a result of
the study, a conclusion was made on the need to include engineering protection as an integrated component in the process
of urban planning and design
