The purpose of the construction was to improve the quality and to enlarge the capacity of mass transportation to Barrandov housing estate and neighbouring area and to replace unsuitable bus transportation. The solution of high-capacity transportation will contribute to the development of the Barrandov area which is now limited by the mass transportation situation. The area is extremely suitable for urban development. Certain finance has already been invested to provide engineering lines in the area. The area includes Barrandov, Barrandov housing estate, Lochkov, Slivenec, Holyně and Klukovice. Transportation needs can be satisfied only with a high-capacity rail track with sufficient overkill. The use of a tramways is also beneficial with regard to the environment. Also, the dependence of mass transportation on the capacity of the main access road (K Barrandovu Street) is removed. The road is overloaded with motor-vehicle traffic which is constantly growing. A potential preference of mass transportation buses is also hardly feasible due to the location having insufficient width. The traffic can only be eased after the external road ring is put into operation.

The project of the modernisation of main railway corridors is in progress in Slovakia. The project includes the railway route Nové Mesto nad Váhom – Púchov. This route leads through a rugged country, which, in the Turecký Vrch section, is listed as a protected landscape area. Authors of the design studied several variants. The straightened alignment, and environmental reasons in particular eventually contributed to their preference to the tunnel variant over an up to 40 m deep side-hill cut leading along the entire length of the hill side. The mined double-rail tunnel is 1,775 m long, with the length of the mined section amounting to 1,740 m. The cut-and-cover sections total 35 m. The maximum overburden depth is 100 m. Complicated geological conditions, verified by an exploration gallery, were the reason why the authors of the design selected the New Austrian Tunnelling Method, which allows a flexible response to changes expected in geological conditions. The lining of the mined tunnel consists of two shells with an intermediate waterproofing membrane covering the vault and side walls. The tunnel profile is designed with regard to train aerodynamics, for the speed of 160 km/h (prospectively 200 km/h). More...
