Abstract. New construction technologies, innovative materials, and digitalization in the road industry contribute to minimizing errors at both the design and operational stages. In this article, the authors present a study identifying certain specific aspects of economic security in the context of the life cycle of an infrastructure project. Using the example of the construction of the Kazan-Yekaterinburg highway, it is shown that small but systematic deviations in construction technology impact the operational characteristics of the facility. A technical audit of construction remains a crucial task — it determines the strategic course for assessing the economic safety of roads and their operation throughout the project lifecycle. The authors identified deviations in the compaction of the embankment of the Kazan-Yekaterinburg highway and provided recommendations for addressing these construction deficiencies. Based on their analysis, the authors developed a set of practical recommendations for optimizing soil compaction technology. The proposed methodology involves varying the number of vibratory roller passes depending on the required compaction ratio, regulating the soil moisture content according to optimal parameters, and strengthening quality control at each stage of the process. Implementation of these recommendations will significantly improve the durability of the roadway, reduce the volume of repairs, lower operating costs, and, consequently, strengthen the economic safety of the region’s transport infrastructure. The findings are of practical value to clients, designers, construction organizations, and technical supervision services interested in improving the quality of road construction.
