This article concentrates on the issues of radio wave propagation in forest conditions. The issue of representing the forest mass as a heterogeneous structure with a low dielectric constant is considered. Calculation and comparison of radio signal attenuation using several empirical models were carried out. It is shown that empirical models take into account the heterogeneous structure of the forest when moving from free space to the forest.

Keywords: radiowave propagation, wooded area, empirical model, radiowave attenuation, path loss, ground mobile communication, electrodynamic characteristics of a heterogeneous structure

In article statistical data on failures on a linear part of the main gas pipelines are presented, the reasons of their emergence are defined. Standard scenarios of development of emergencies are provided, and also the basic principles of determination of frequency of emergence of failures are shined.

Keywords: accident, analysis, diameter, linear part of the main gas pipelines, depressurization, scenario, pipeline.

In the article the types of the tubes, used for transportation of hydrocarbon resources on oil and gas fields of West Siberia are considered. the analysis of the statistical data and materials on the corrosion protection in the West-Siberian region is also provided in the article. moreover, the most optimal and effective ways of corrosion protection using the tubes of high corrosion resistance are introduced in the article.
