DOCC Documentation and Object Context Compilation

Abstract

DOCC — Documentation and Object Context Compilation represents the current and canonical documentation and input-data module of the integrated IAS-DX framework for deep excavations. The framework consolidates and reorganises the technical content developed through the earlier KIB-GW, MDO-GW and MDO-GW 2.0 methodologies under the final English naming standard adopted for IAS-DX. DOCC is responsible for collecting, organising, qualifying and transferring object-level, excavation-level and measurement-level data required for the assessment of deep-excavation influence on adjacent buildings, engineering structures, transport infrastructure, utilities, retaining structures and other technical objects. It provides the documentation basis for SETTLE, the object-context basis for OSCAR and the input-data basis for MATCH. The DOCC framework combines object identification and object-domain definition, excavation and geotechnical context, structural and foundation information, technical-condition documentation, visible defects, photographic records, monitoring information, dynamic and scanning data, data-completeness assessment, warning flags, reliability levels and structured transfer of information to the remaining IAS-DX modules. It may be applied at screening, basic and extended documentation levels and at successive project stages, including baseline documentation, during-works updates, post-construction documentation and event-triggered updates. DOCC retains the fundamental assumption of the earlier MDO-GW framework that factual documentation should remain clearly separated from engineering interpretation. A recorded crack, deformation, moisture mark, displacement or other observation constitutes documentation evidence; conclusions concerning its cause, structural significance or relation to excavation works require separate engineering assessment. DOCC is therefore not an automatic risk index, damage-causation model, structural-safety verification procedure or control-mode qualification algorithm. The immediately preceding methodological stage, MDO-GW 2.0 — Object Documentation and Predicted Condition Deterioration Module, extended the documentation framework by introducing the RPSO-GW analytical layer. RPSO-GW connected the documented object with a parametric settlement trough and used object position, effective length, mean settlement, differential settlement and angular distortion to provide a preliminary predicted object-condition deterioration descriptor. In this way, MDO-GW 2.0 transformed the earlier documentation-only structure into a documentation-and-forecasting framework. The preceding MDO-GW — Moduł Dokumentacyjny Obiektu w rejonie Głębokich Wykopów represented the transition from a building-specific identification card to a broader object documentation and data-organisation module. The revised framework expanded the scope from buildings to engineering structures, road and railway elements, utilities, retaining structures and other technical objects and introduced structured object categories, documentation levels and stages, data-completeness classes, warning flags, coding rules and explicit separation between factual observations and technical interpretation. The methodological line originates from KIB-GW — Karta Identyfikacyjna Budynku w rejonie Głębokich Wykopów, the original and oldest Building Identification Card concept. KIB-GW introduced a structured object-level record containing identification, spatial relation to the excavation, structural and foundation characteristics, technical condition, visible defects, photographic documentation, monitoring requirements, predicted or observed ground movements and links to broader engineering-assessment procedures. Its purpose was to create a consistent and repeatable documentation basis rather than an independent susceptibility or safety-assessment method. The original contribution of this methodological line lies in progressively organising established engineering documentation activities into a dedicated, traceable and updateable data structure for objects adjacent to deep excavations. The development progressed from a Building Identification Card, through a broader Object Documentation Module and a documentation-and-forecasting extension, to DOCC as the final IAS-DX documentation and input-data architecture. Methodological development line:DOCC → MDO-GW 2.0 / RPSO-GW → MDO-GW → KIB-GW DOCC represents the current and canonical version of this methodological line. MDO-GW 2.0 represents the preceding documentation-and-forecasting stage, MDO-GW represents the earlier structured object-documentation framework, while KIB-GW constitutes the original and oldest Building Identification Card concept from which the present DOCC methodology developed.
