An algorithm has been developed to assess the technical condition of stressed-skin constructions which constitute load-bearing structures and casing for conveyors. The description of the methodology is presented in the form of an algorithm. An important feature of the methodology is the measurement of main and intermediate structural nodes and then the comparison of measurement results with records in the documentation. The results of the measurements are used to simulate and assess the actual technical condition of the structure. If the deformation of the coating casing, ribbing, supports and other elements of the process line exceeds the limit values, it should be preventively decommissioned and assigned for repair or replacement. The developed methodology used for collecting the necessary information on the technical condition of the conveyor's structure is aimed at its implementation to a wider use in industrial plants with developed inter-operational transport. The utilitarian aim of the study is to increase the level of users' safety and to maintain the continuity of transport system performance.
