Libor Ma\u0159\u00edk co-chaired a&nbsp;session dedicated to conventionally excavated tunnels and also delivered a&nbsp;presentation entitled <em>\u201c<strong>Utilisation of Geothermal Energy from Tunnels, with a&nbsp;Focus on the Nov\u00e9 Dvory Station of Metro Line D<\/strong>\u201d<\/em>, prepared together with J\u00e1chym Hobza. We covered this exceptional project in greater detail in a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sagasta.cz\/en\/sagasta-brings-renewable-energy-from-underground\/\">separate article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Libor Ma\u0159\u00edk later gave another presentation, this time focusing on the <strong>reconstruction of the Dolnolu\u010dansk\u00fd Tunnel on the Tanvald\u2013Harrachov railway line<\/strong>. SAGASTA contributed to the project by preparing the design documentation, which included the design of tunnel lining rehabilitation, drainage, reconstruction of the portals and other related structures. The project involved the modernisation of a&nbsp;historic railway tunnel, with an emphasis on long-term structural stability and safe railway operations in the challenging conditions of the Jizera Mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sagasta.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dsc06966-1536x1026-1-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Underground Construction Prague 2026 Conference\" class=\"wp-image-2860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sagasta.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dsc06966-1536x1026-1-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sagasta.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dsc06966-1536x1026-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sagasta.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dsc06966-1536x1026-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sagasta.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/dsc06966-1536x1026-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another professional presentation by SAGASTA was delivered by our colleague Martin Bal\u00e1\u017e together with Radek Bernard. In their presentation, <em>\u201c<strong>The Utility Tunnel for V\u00e1clav Havel Airport Prague \u2013 Project Assumptions and Reality<\/strong>,\u201d<\/em> they shared their experience from the construction of a&nbsp;major infrastructure project and compared the original design assumptions with the actual course of construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 16th edition of the Underground Construction Prague conference was a&nbsp;great success \u2013 from expert presentations and engaging technical excursions to a&nbsp;rich social programme. We would like to thank the organisers for a&nbsp;perfectly prepared event and look forward to seeing everyone again in three years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"931\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sagasta.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/gold-partner-1024x931.png\" alt=\"Underground Construction Prague 2026 Conference\" class=\"wp-image-2859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sagasta.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/gold-partner-1024x931.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.sagasta.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/gold-partner-300x273.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sagasta.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/gold-partner-768x698.png 768w, https:\/\/www.sagasta.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/gold-partner.png 1099w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From 25 to 27 May 2026, we took part in the 16th edition of the Underground Construction Prague 2026 conference \u2013 this year as a&nbsp;Gold Partner.
