The article discusses the specifics of the transportation of drilling rigs in mountainous and hilly areas of the Mangystau region, characterized by difficult terrain and an increased probability of rockfalls. Such conditions create significant risks for equipment and personnel, which requires the development of scientifically sound methods to improve transportation safety. The purpose of the study is to form recommendations on choosing the optimal ways to move drilling equipment along the slopes in the presence of rockfall threats. The analysis of existing engineering solutions, regulatory requirements and natural factors affecting transportation safety is carried out. Based on a system of differential equations, the dynamics of the movement of falling rocks is described, which made it possible to determine the trajectories of possible impacts and areas of potential impact on transported equipment. The parameters of the protective “shelf” are calculated and dependencies are proposed for choosing the width of the protective zones in accordance with the height and angle of the slope. Special attention is paid to engineering methods of protection, including strengthening slopes, installing retaining structures and rockfall barriers. The results obtained are aimed at reducing the risk of damage to machinery, increasing the safety of personnel and minimizing emergency production costs. The practical significance of the study lies in the applicability of the developed recommendations in the design of drilling rig transportation routes and engineering slope protection, as well as in the use of the proposed methods in educational, analytical and design research activities.
