Abstract: The article analyzes the systemic crisis in site investigations (engineering surveys) in Russia in the context of digital transformation. It considers the impact of price dumping and workforce shortages, the shortcomings of the regulatory framework, and underfunding. Particular attention is given to assessing the effects of implementing new technologies and changing business processes. The authors propose tools aimed at reducing the risks of the market marginalization and at ensuring the sustainable development of the industry.
 

Keywords: site investigations (engineering surveys); engineering-geological surveys; systemic crisis; price dumping; workforce shortages; underfunding; data falsification; dishonest surveys; regulatory framework; new technologies; IT-driven transformation; digitalization; contractors' reliability.
