The transition of the construction industry to a higher level of competitiveness is due to the implementation and application of digital technologies. Traditional methods of processing incoming information are not effective for managing so much information that modern construction organizations produce. The article discusses the use of digital twins technology in the implementation of investment and construction projects. The purpose of this article is to identify the positive and negative aspects of the introduction of this technology in the activities of design and construction organizations. The main problems in the implementation of information technologies in construction organizations are analyzed. The main differences between information modeling technology and digital twins technology are presented. The advantages for the participants of investment and construction activities from the introduction of digital twins in the implementation of projects are given.

The paper considers the characteristics of cloud convection obtained in the course of computational experiments on the basis of a three-dimensional physical and mathematical model of convective clouds, which takes into account in detail the microphysical processes of nucleation, condensation or sublimation of water vapor, coagulation and accretion of precipitation particles, accumulation of volume electric charges, and an increase in the electric field strength. clouds due to charge separation processes occurring during the rapid freezing of large supercooled drops, accretionary growth of cereals and hailstones. Based on the data of numerical modeling using the noted model, the location in the volume of the microstructural parameters of thunderstorm clouds (water content and ice content), space charges, electric field strength, radar reflectivity in the centimeter range, and other parameters at fixed times of cloud evolution was investigated.

Various methods are used to scatter warm fogs: direct combustion of fuel in the fog; electric heating of the fog; introduction of streams or jets of warm and dry air into the fog; use of radiant energy for direct evaporation of hydrometeors; using explosions of highly heat-forming substances, etc. [4]. In this paper, artificially sprayed water droplets are used to scatter warm fogs. Refined calculations were made to investigate the possibility of fog scattering by artificial droplets. The model describes the fall of drops of radius r2 through the fog, consisting of drops of radius r1, the concentration of which is equal to n1. Detailed equations of gravitational coagulation are used taking into account the hydrodynamic interaction of droplets. The temporal characteristics of fog scattering (increase in visibility range) depending on the size of artificial droplets and their concentration are investigated. The size of artificial drops and their concentration, at which the maximum effect on fog scattering is achieved, are determined.

The paper presents the results of numerical estimates of scattering of a dispersed medium (fog) using thermal and dynamic devices. Numerical modeling methods were used to obtain the results. On the basis of calculations, the use of different classes of combustible substances (kerosene, etc.) was analyzed for thermal dispersion, which is based on heating the air-drop medium to a temperature above the dew point, so that the drops that make up the fog evaporated. Technical devices of various capacities for pumping air from the zone of illumination, that is, using the method of dynamic scattering, are considered. The dynamic method is based on creating a flow of dry air located above the dispersed medium layer. In this case, the drier air coming from above or from the side causes the particles of the dispersed medium to evaporate, which leads to a decrease in its density.

The paper studies the possibility of quantitative processing of the GPR data for determining the dielectric permittivity and conductivity of a medium (soil samples). Experimental studies are made using radargrams of soil samples with specified values of moisture and conductivity. New methods of quantitative processing of radargrams are proposed in this work to determine the dielectric permittivity and conductivity of soils. The methods were successfully tested on various sections of Russian railways net.
