Metrostav Celebrates Success in Railway Construction Project of the Year Competition

27 February 2025

Metrostav a.s. and its subsidiaries have won three prestigious awards in the Railway Construction Project of the Year 2024 competition. Success was achieved by projects in the Historical Heritage and Construction Project categories that were significant refurbishments of railway structures and modernisation of transport infrastructure.

Award-winning Projects

In the Historical Heritage category, two significant refurbishments of station buildings won awards:

• Refurbishment of the passenger building at Plzeň hlavní nádraží - the project was carried out by an association of contractors led by Metrostav DIZ plant 1. The project manager was Miroslav Kšír.
• Refurbishment of the passenger building at České Budějovice hlavní nádraží – the leader of the contractor association here was Metrostav’s Division 6. The project was managed by Jan Prokeš.

In the Construction Project category, the award went to the Braník Bridge - Prague-Krč - Spořilov double-tracking project, which was implemented by a contractors’ association led by Metrostav TBR a.s. The project manager was Tomáš Kohout. The project has significantly contributed to the improvement of rail transport in the Prague conurbation.

Many thanks to all those who contributed their time and energy to these projects. We would also like to thank the organisation Správa železnic, which was the investor for these constructions projects and the guarantor of the whole competition. We highly appreciate the awards and see them as a confirmation of the quality of our work and our contribution to the railway infrastructure in the Czech Republic.

The awards ceremony took place at the end of January in the prestigious premises of the Fanta Hall in the Fanta Building at Prague’s main station. The event was not only a celebration of the success of the award-winning construction projects, but also a meeting of experts and professionals in railway construction.
