On Thursday June 19 at 18:00, the Institution of Civil Engineers in London will host the BTS lecture and its concentration is due to e on Prague Metro Line D Project.
The date of commencing operation on Prague metro’s first section was May 9, 1974 and today, it has 61 stations on three lines over a total length of 65.3km, whereas construction of a fourth Line D started in April 2022 and is ongoing.
Focusing particularly on the Nové Dvory mined station and other structures designed by Mott MacDonald, this presentation will be done by Petr Makasek, Mott MacDonald’s head of department tunnels. Considering that the Nové Dvory station will serve as the terminus of the first operating segment, it contains several diverse structures.
In particular, the cavern of the station and the south escalator tunnel, the excavation of the station from the access tunnel using a cross dome, and the branching of the running tunnels behind the station turnout present challenges for construction.
Makasek will also look at the innovative design of geothermal energy harvesting in the station for a new development above the station.
Refreshments will be available in the bar afterwards with food and drinks sponsored by Mott MacDonald.
It is an in-person event that will also be streamed live here.
To attend in person, pre-registration is required on the ICE website.
