Forensic construction and technical audit of infrastructural facilities

The article considers the forensic construction and technical audit of infrastructural facilities. Issues related to utilities, as well as the main characteristics of infrastructural facilities and their purpose, are analysed. Each construction and technical audit procedure is carried out in certain conditions and locations, taking the regulations of the civil procedural legislation into account. Based on the court ruling, the expert independently conducts a full survey of the case materials and documents, gives reasonable and objective answers to the set questions, and draws up a conclusion in written form. Cases of utilities related both to infrastructural capital construction and auxiliary facilities are considered. It is concluded that the movable or immovable property of the facility plays an important role in determining respective actions. Using the list of characteristics for determining this property, further activities in relation to the infrastructural facility can be affected. Representing the finished infrastructural facility, the utility networks relate to real estate objects, thus having independent functional (economic) purpose. Their construction is provided for by the design documentation and performed on the basis of properly approved regulatory documents. The provided criteria for considering the infrastructural facility both in terms of a real estate object and an auxiliary facility are recommended for application in the construction and technical audit of infrastructural facilities.
