The article offers an environmentally friendly method to assemble pipes into section in order to build, to reconstruct or to fully repair pipelines both in urban communities and outside them eliminating load-carrying devices. The technique is realized with a specially designed assembly line (DAL) consisting of similar devices positioned along one line. The proposed assembly line is executed as multi-functional since the complete range of production processes can be performed with it, starting from unloading pipe sections to laying a ready section into a trench or onto an elevated pipe pier. The offered engineering solution can be used in all places. 3-D spatial models are presented in the article for illustrative purposes.

The article offers a solution which will enable to reduce dust pollution during earthworks in urban conditions. A special multi-functional mechanism is proposed enabling to perform several important preliminary processes simultaneously - improving an environmental situation on the site of earthworks. The ground surface damping during trench opening and soil unloading from a bucket into a disposal area will make it possible to reduce the fine dust pollution of the air surrounding a work location. The objective of the study is to develop a mechanism reducing the fine dust dispersal when performing trench and pit excavation. The novelty is that a mechanism of special construction has been proposed that can be mounted onto any machine in the construction line.
