Geotechnics in Underground Engineering

We design and supervise complex underground construction projects, including Prague metro lines, collectors and pilot tunnels

Our mining and construction specialists are focused on geotechnical supervision during construction of underground line structures during all phases of the preparation. We supervise the entire process including feasibility study preparation to complete design documentation, as well as assessing the impact of such projects on terrain stability. The first project assigned was the construction of an underground gas storage tank in Háje u Příbrami (today called KZP Háje). Nowadays, we participate in various significant underground constructions such as tunnels, metro lines, collectors, pilot tunnels in the Czech Republic, as well as abroad.
