Engineering survey for construction. Basic principles. With Amendment No. 1
Full title and description
SP 47.13330.2016 — "Инженерные изыскания для строительства. Основные положения" (Engineering surveys for construction — Basic principles). This Свод правил (СП) is an актуализированная редакция (updated edition) of СНиП 11-02-96 and sets basic principles, organizational requirements and mandatory content for engineering surveys carried out to support planning, design, construction and reconstruction of capital construction projects in the Russian Federation.
Abstract
SP 47.13330.2016 defines the types and scope of engineering surveys (geodetic, geological, hydrogeological, engineering-geological, engineering-ecological, hydrometeorological, etc.), requirements for planning and execution of survey works, rules for use of archival (fund) data, criteria for assessment and classification of site conditions, and documentation/delivery requirements for survey results intended for territorial planning, design and construction decision-making. The document emphasizes responsibilities for quality control, limits on the usable age of some survey data (for example, hydrological and meteorological information) and provisions for special survey types.
General information
- Status: In force / adopted (introduced by order of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation).
- Publication date: Approved by order of the Ministry of Construction dated 30 December 2016; entered into force 1 July 2017.
- Publisher: Ministry of Construction and Housing and Communal Services of the Russian Federation (texts published in official repositories and collections of national building codes and standards).
- ICS / categories: Construction / Building site investigation and surveys; national SNiP / SP series addressing engineering surveys and geotechnical investigation.
- Edition / version: Designation SP 47.13330.2016 (updated edition of СНиП 11-02-96); implementations and amendments noted subsequently (editions/changes recorded up to 2020 in public registries).
- Number of pages: Approximately 110 pages (published electronic/print versions vary by publisher).
Scope
The standard applies to the organization and procedure for performing engineering surveys to study natural conditions and technogenic impacts in order to ensure rational and safe use of territories and land plots. Its requirements extend to surveys performed for territorial planning documents, layout planning, architectural and construction design, construction, reconstruction and expansion of capital construction projects of normal and increased responsibility. The СП replaces earlier SP/SNiP editions on the same subject and provides the main baseline rules for survey content and deliverables.
Key topics and requirements
- Classification and description of engineering survey types (geodetic, engineering-geological, hydrogeological, hydro-meteorological, environmental, geotechnical investigations, etc.).
- Rules for planning, programme of works, sampling and testing, and expected deliverables (reports, maps, profiles, calculation data) suitable for design and construction.
- Requirements for using archival/fund observations and criteria for when new field work is required.
- Validity limits for some survey data (examples: hydrological study data commonly limited to short-term use — hydrology often up to 2 years; meteorological data considerations noted).
- Quality control, competence of performing organizations, and documentation needed to substantiate the volume and completeness of surveys.
- Annexes and mandatory subclauses that specify complexity categories of geological conditions and other technical tables used for design decisions.
- Provisions from this SP (specific clauses and annexes) were later included among documents or clauses made mandatory by government lists — affecting their obligatory application in certain contexts.
Typical use and users
Primary users are engineering-survey organizations, geologists, geotechnical and geodesy specialists, design institutes, construction companies, municipal and regional planners, expert reviewers and state regulators. The standard is used when scoping, contracting and performing surveys for site investigation, carrying out geotechnical risk assessments, and producing the survey inputs required for design and construction permits and technical reviews.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: SP 47.13330.2016 is a Russian Свод правил titled "Инженерные изыскания для строительства. Основные положения" — the updated edition of СНиП 11-02-96 providing baseline rules for engineering surveys used in planning, design and construction.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers the organization, planning and execution of engineering surveys (types of surveys, required scope and methods, use of archival data, documentation and reporting, classification of site conditions, and quality assurance) required to support safe and rational use of land and to provide inputs for project design and permitting.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Surveying and geotechnical firms, designers and architects, construction companies, expert reviewers, municipal planners and regulatory bodies use the СП when specifying, carrying out or evaluating engineering surveys.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: The document SP 47.13330.2016 was approved by the Ministry of Construction on 30 December 2016 and came into force on 1 July 2017; it replaced earlier SP/SNiP editions on the subject (including SP 47.13330.2012 and the older СНиП 11-02-96 in its previous editorial form). Subsequent revisions and interpretations (including recorded changes and some government decisions making particular clauses mandatory in specified contexts) have been published since; users should verify whether later amendments or mandatory lists affect the particular clauses they rely on.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — it belongs to the SP/SNiP system of construction rules and is related to other SP documents covering specific types of surveys, geotechnical work and regional hazard requirements. It is integrated into the broader set of national building codes and regulatory documents used in Russian construction practice.
Q: What are the key keywords?
