AUSCIPES INVITATION

The Czech Tunnelling Association ITA-AITES cordially invites you to 13th International Conference entitled “Underground Construction Prague 2016”, which will be held in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, from 23rd to 25th May 2016. This is the largest Czech tunnelling conference, which is held regularly every three years. Past conferences, especially Underground Construction Prague 2010 and 2013, confi rmed that the Prague conference thanks to its scientifi c programme, venue and social programme found a fi rm position among similar European conferences. This confi rms the participation of distinguished European and international experts at each conference.

The conference ´Underground Construction Prague 2016´ is held under the auspices We hope that the attractiveness of the 13th International Conference Underground Construction Prague 2016 of the Deputy Mayor of Prague, Petr Dolínek. will be enhanced by connection with the 3rd Eastern European Tunnelling Conference (EETC 2016). The EETC is a biennial regional tunnelling conference. It aims to promote the sharing of knowledge, experience, skills, ideas and achievements in the design, fi nancing and contracting, construction, operation and maintenance of tunnels and other underground facilities among the countries of Eastern Europe, on an organized basis and with agreed aims.

The conference will surely bring interesting information about the important constructions in the Czech Republic, as over 4 km long railway tunnel Ejpovice currently excavated by an EPB shield, upcoming project of the line D or fi ndings from the extraordinary constructions opened in Prague in 2015 – the Blanka road tunnel complex and extension of line A of the Prague metro. Many prestigious international projects will be presented, some of them are listed among Invited Lectures and Keynote Lectures. The joint conference will be held at the Clarion Congress Hotel Prague and will include a technical exhibition and a poster session. The conference dinner will take place at the extraordinary and favorite environment of the Brevnov Monastery in Prague 6.

Welcome in our capital city of Prague in its blooming spring beauty.

TECHNICAL EXCURSIONS Site visit C: Josef Regional Underground Research Centre The Josef URC is responsible for the operation of the Josef Underground Laboratory, the activities of which commenced in 2007 with the commissioning of 650 metres of underground galleries. Today there is available 5 km The conference participants can choose from four excursions to the underground structures in and around Prague of underground galleries for the research activities and for the teaching of students and also the new administrative organised on Wednesday morning, May 25. Please, contact registration desk for more details. centre with laboratories is possible to exploit. The Josef Underground Laboratory is used by students from Prague universities as well as those from universities throughout the Czech Republic (approximately 300 students per Site visit A: TBM excavation of the tunnel Ejpovice semester). A total of 12 Czech and other European projects will make use of the underground facilities in 2013. The construction project “Modernization of the railway line Rokycany – Pilsen” is part of the national Railway transit corridor III – western part. The project implements the modernization of the rail line leading from Rokycany The lab is located next to Slapy dam, close to Čelina village not far from the town of Příbram (approx. 65 km to the station Ejpovice mainly along the existing railway body. Between Ejpovice and the station Pilsen – Doubravka from Prague). it follows the assumed location of the route for the new high-speed line on new land plots. Under the morphological features Homolka and Chlum it is conducted in tunnels. The length of the two single-track tunnels is 4150 meters.
