Abstract

The artificial urban landscape of the exhibition complex type is being created on the territory of the modern complex of Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy “VDNKh” of the city of Moscow. It includes the hydraulic system based on the ponds of the Kamenka river with fountains and decorative pools. The purpose of the survey (inspection) is the assessment of the technical conditions of the hydraulic facilities of the cascade of ponds to determine the possibility of their further operation or the need of their rebuilding or fortifying of the constructions. There is also given a brief historical summary of the park complex formation and the operation of the ponds, the analysis of archival projects during 75 years of operation activity of the cascade of ponds and hydraulic structures. The article includes the conclusion formed on the results of the inspection of hydraulic structures of the cascade of ponds of the object of cultural heritage and tourist attraction of “VSKhV-VDNKh-VVTs” - “The VDNKh landscape park” zone.

Summary

Introduction

The notion of "Smart City" means a well-organized and comfortable for living town. The plans of the urban improvement of the city of Moscow provide the establishment of the urban landscape of an exhibition complex type on the territory of the modern complex known as VDNKh exhibition complex or VDNKh [1, 2]. The landscape park is being created on the basis of the ponds of the Kamenka river with fountains, decorative pools and the working system of hydraulic facilities [3, 4]. The ponds and the elements of hydraulic facilities are the part of the landscape park and are considered to be the subject of preservation. The designing of the landscape park, including the hydraulic structures of the cascade of ponds [1] requires a detailed inspection (survey) of technical conditions of the dams and spillways [5, 6], which was the subject of the accomplished research works. The purpose of the survey is getting the assessment of the technical conditions of the hydraulic facilities of the cascade of ponds to determine the possibility of their further operation or the need of their rebuilding or fortifying of the constructions
