Metrostav a.s. is No. 1. For the Eighth Time in a Row

The Board of Directors Report on the Operations and Property of Metrostav a.s. (CZECH)

The 420-meter-long tunnel is the second&nbsp;of four tunnels on the E134 Damåsen-Saggrenda road – the Kongsberg bypass. The representatives of Statens vegvesen (Norwegian public road administration) and the representatives of the Kongsberg town&nbsp;appreciated very much the reliability and quality of work done by Metrostav. 
Metrostav once again showed that it is a flagship of Czech construction industry not only in Norway but in the whole Scandinavian region.

Worth over CZK 2.2 billion, the project will be executed by a consortium consisting of Metrostav and the local company Bertelsen & Garpestad. The two partners are currently building a bypass around the Norwegian city of Kongsberg. "Even though we have been working in Scandinavia since as early as 2006, a contract abroad always carries higher risks. Because of that, all of our foreign ventures are executed with local partners," explained the Metrostav Group's Head of Foreign Operations Václav Soukup. Metrostav's share in the project amounts to approximately 60%.&nbsp; 
Without contracts abroad, Metrostav would face difficulties in finding work for its specialized workforce and machinery. In the Czech Republic, the only large underground project currently under way is the Ejpovice Rail Tunnel.&nbsp;In view of the situation and despite the risks involved, Metrostav has decided to expand to other countries, where the availability of construction projects is greater. At the same time, however, Metrostav faces tough competition from local companies and multinational construction groups. Nonetheless, the current contract shows that the Czech company is able to prevail. Apart from Norway, Metrostav is working on projects in Belarus, Finland, Germany, Iceland and Poland.&nbsp;

Metrostav to Build Bridge over Åstfjorden Fjord in Norway

Pilsen-Doubravka, October 7, 2017 – The boring of the 4,150-meter long northern half of the Ejpovice Tunnel has been completed, as the Viktoria tunnel boring machine re-emerged near Pilsen's borough of Doubravka earlier today. Amid much public interest, Viktoria's cutter head made its way through the exit portal during a bore-through ceremony organized on this occasion. The event was attended by Minister of Transport Dan Ťok, officials from the Railway Infrastructure Administration, the State Fund for Transport Infrastructure, the contractors – Metrostav and Subterra, other partners and guests. 
Apart from improving passenger safety and comfort, one of the objectives of modernizing the rail line that connects the Czech capital and Pilsen, where the section between the latter and Rokycany is an important part, is reducing the travel time to less than one hour. Currently, a train trip between the two cities takes one hour and 35 minutes.
 
"The completion of the Ejpovice Tunnel will shorten the distance that trains have to travel between Prague and Pilsen. Today's bore-through ceremony, which marks the completion of the second half of the tunnel, brings us closer to the day when the travel time between these two important Czech cities will be reduced by more than 30 minutes. Traveling by train is very attractive in today's hectic society, because it allows people to rest or, conversely, catch up on their work," said the Railway Infrastructure Administration's CEO Pavel Surý.&nbsp; 
 
Manufactured by the Herrenknecht Company in Schwanau, Germany, Viktoria weighs approximately 1,800 tons, is 115 meters long, and features a cutter head with a diameter of almost 10 meters. To protect the environment, the heaviest parts of the machine were transported to the Czech Republic by ship. Tunnel-boring machines (TBM) are currently one of the most widely used tunnel construction technologies. Their main advantages include speed and safety. 
 
Previously, boring the southern half of the tunnel took four months longer. The second time around, Metrostav's engineers were familiar with the local conditions and were able to make appropriate preparations. Despite that, the geological makeup in some areas was significantly different from what the workers encountered during the first project stage. 
 
"Boring through the northern tunnel is a historical event for several reasons. It marks the completion of drilling work on the longest rail tunnel in the Czech Republic. The project has been executed using a tunnel boring machine with a cutter head featuring the largest diameter ever used in this country. In addition, we achieved the longest daily advance of 38 meters. Conversely, the other reasons why this project is exceptional are not as optimistic. It is because the end of this project marks the beginning of a period in which no large-profile tunnels will be bored in the Czech Republic, which is a situation unheard of during the last 50 years. A glance into both the distant and recent past shows that as many as 22 projects have been executed in the Czech Republic since the year 2000. They included tunnels for roads, highways, railways and subways. In 2005, for instance, Czech construction workers were working simultaneously on eight underground ventures of this kind. However, we are now entering a period during which neither Metrostav nor any other domestic company will have work for its boring specialists, and we must seek ways of putting to use the highly qualified teams that have undergone costly training. Although we do our best to find contracts abroad, they will not provide enough opportunities for using all the capacity that we have at our disposal. Considering the progress of preparations, other tunnel boring projects will be executed no sooner than many months or, more likely, several years from now. All Czech construction companies would appreciate it if transport infrastructure projects were planned faster," explained Metrostav's CEO Pavel Pilát.
 
Viktoria is a convertible machine, which means that it can function in several modes that allow it to bore through both soft soil and solid rock. The machine creates a completely finished tunnel with walls built from concrete rings composed of seven plus one segments. The rings are reinforced with steel and polypropylene fibers. Each ring is two meters wide and 40 centimeters thick. The rings were made in Dýšina, approximately two kilometers from the construction site. More than two thousand rings were necessary for each of the tunnels.
 
At present, eight safety passageways are being bored between the southern and northern tunnels. Those located in hard spilite rock are drilled using the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NRTM), which employs explosives. As a result, Pilsen's inhabitants can appreciate the fact that the two tunnels have been bored using the TBM technology, because relying on the originally considered NRTM method would have caused high noise levels.

Annual Report 2016

The Czech construction company Metrostav has scored another victory in Iceland. Following the Héðinsfjarðargöng and Norðfjarðargöng projects in the northern and eastern parts of the island, respectively, Metrostav will soon start building a 5.6 km long tunnel and a 7.8 km section of road connecting the Dýrafjörður and Arnarfjörður fjords on the sparsely inhabited coast in Iceland's northwest. Metrostav will execute the project in cooperation with a local partner, the company Suðurverk. 
 
&nbsp;
 
Both tunnel portals will be built in the typical windswept Nordic landscape. The roads to&nbsp;Arnarfjörður are closed for most of the winter, during which they are opened only once a month. The local people need tunnels, as they are able to provide a fast and safe link between their municipalities throughout all the seasons. "We trust that the geological conditions will be more favorable for boring than was the case with the previous tunnel projects. According to the plan, construction will begin in May of this year and will be completed in September 2020," said Aleš Gothard, who prepared Metrostav's bid for the project. 
 
&nbsp;
 
The Dýrafjörður tunnel is one of numerous ventures undertaken by Metrostav in Nordic countries. Workers of the largest Czech construction company have completed not only two underground projects in Iceland, but also a number of ventures in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Metrostav has performed well in Scandinavia despite tough competition and difficult geological conditions. While working in Nordic countries in the past, the Czech tunnel builders have encountered extreme climatic conditions, logistics complications in distant areas, and influxes of massive amounts of icy water during the boring of tunnels.

From March 14 to 17, 2017, the French city of Cannes will host the MIPIM international real estate trade show, which will be attended by over 23,000 guests from more than 90 countries worldwide. The event will include the announcement of the best development projects entered in the prestigious international real estate competition MIPIM Awards 2017. Entries that have advanced to the finals include a project completed by Metrostav a.s. – Residence Sacré Coeur II. This residential development is one of four projects nominated to the final round of the competition in the Best Residential Development category. 
 
&nbsp;
 
This year, a total of 214 development projects from 46 countries worldwide were entered in the MIPIM contest. An 11-member jury, headed by Chairman John Forrester, Chief Executive, EMEA, Cushman & Wakefield, met in Paris at the end of January 2017 to shortlist the four best projects in each of the 11 competition categories. Because of the global renown of the MIPIM Awards, entries in the contest included development projects from Asia, the Pacific Region, North and South America, Africa and Europe.
 

 "The fact that such a technically demanding project as Residence Sacré Coeur II, built by Metrostav, advanced to the finals of a prestigious international competition serves as testimony to the fact that the quality of our work is highly valued by specialists not only in the Czech Republic, but in other countries as well," said Metrostav's CSO Milan Veselský. In its category, Residence Sacré Coeur II will compete against development projects from Brazil, France and Germany. The results will be announced at a gala to be held in the Palais de Festival in downtown Cannes on Thursday, March 17, 2017.

Unique Czech Project in Final Round of MIPIM Awards 2017 International Real Estate Competition

The Czech construction company Metrostav has won its first major contract in Turkey. Its subsidiary <a href="http://www.skupinametrostav.cz/cz/clenove">Metrostav Ankara İnşaat Taahhüt Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.Ş. and the Railway Transport Department of the European Section of the City of </a>Istanbul signed an agreement on January 18, 2017 to build a depot on the Kabataş-Mahmutbey subway line in the Turkish metropolis.
 
&nbsp;
 
Metrostav's Turkey-based subsidiary secured the contract in a demanding two-round selection procedure. The pre-qualification stage included 41 bidders from the ranks of Turkish corporations and consortiums. In the second round, which included the submission of price bids, Metrostav competed with&nbsp;16 other bidders. Following the expulsion of the bidder who offered the lowest price in the procedure, Metrostav's Turkish subsidiary won, thanks to a bid of TL 88,045,806 (approximately CZK 632 million). The project has been commissioned on the 'design and build' basis. &nbsp;&nbsp;
 
&nbsp;
 
"The road to winning the contract was in no way easy," said Václav Soukup, Metrostav Group's Head of Foreign Business Operations. "The Czech-based Metrostav has been active in Turkey since 2015, when we founded a joint venture with the company Ankara Inşaat. However, the local regulations only allowed us to bid for the first public contract one year after the subsidiary was established, which means that we could only submit our first proposal in August 2016. I am confident that we will be successful on the Turkish market and that we will record favorable results," added Soukup.
 
&nbsp;
 
The contract marks another stage in Metrostav's successful expansion to foreign markets. This way, Metrostav takes advantage of its surplus capacity made available as a result of a significant decrease in the number of construction projects being undertaken in the Czech Republic, infrastructure projects in particular. Contracts abroad currently account for one-third or Metrostav's production.

Metrostav to Support Handy Cyklo Maraton as General Partner 
This year, the Handy Cyklo Maraton, a unique project involving the longest cycling marathon in Central Europe, will bear Metrostav's name. A general partnership agreement for the year 2016 was signed in recent days by President of the Metrostav Group Jiří Bělohlav and Heřman Volf, Chairman of the nonprofit organization Journey to the Dream (Cesta za snem). The main purpose of the agreement is to provide support for the cycling event, which will begin at the Prague Castle on 2 August 2016 and will subsequently pass through all 14 of the Czech Republic's regions. The race will take athletes as far as the Bratislava Castle in Slovakia, where they will turn around and head back to Prague. 
"At the Metrostav Group, we subscribe to the concept of equal opportunity for everyone. We regard every person as having an equal value," says Metrostav Group President Jiří Bělohlav. "Metrostav Handy Cyklo Maraton is another proof testifying to that. I wish all participants good luck in their endeavors, and I look forward to the excitement of watching the whereabouts and standing of the Metrostav Team."
Conceived by the handicapped athlete Heřman Volf, the first season of the Handy Cyklo Maraton was held in 2013. It is a fundraising cycling event for mixed teams composed of healthy and handicapped cyclists. Teams must complete the 2,222 km long journey on a relay basis within the time limit of 111 hours. The race goes on nonstop, day and night, and lasts four to five days. In 2015, the event was attended by more than 30 teams with nearly 250 cyclists.
Team members are both healthy and handicapped cyclists. "Participants include wheelchair-bound persons, amputees, visually impaired individuals on tandem bicycles, cyclists with hearing disability, and people suffering from cerebral palsy. We want to show that healthy and handicapped individuals can work together within a team and that their cooperation is, in fact, nothing complicated. All one needs is wanting to do it, putting a team together, and setting out. The race provides a great opportunity for integrating people into society through doing sports, having fun, and enjoying new experiences together. Winning is not the point, even though the participants do compete. Much more important is spreading the idea that we're in it all together," says Heřman Volf, the director of the event who takes part in the race with a team of friends every year. 
The Metrostav Group, led by Metrostav, a.s., is currently the largest construction enterprise in the Czech Republic. Metrostav employees raced in the Handy Cyklo Maraton already in 2015. Long-term emphasis on corporate social responsibility has prompted Metrostav to become the general partner to this year's edition of the event. A founding member of the platform Business for Society, Metrostav has received numerous awards for helping the needy.
Volf and his associates are happy about the partnership with Metrostav. "It is an honor for us to have the support of such a strong partner. We're also very happy that it is a Czech company with a long history and tradition. We were very pleasantly surprised by the attitude of Metrostav's President Bělohlav and the entire top management. Since the first meeting, we have sensed a resolve to get involved in the marathon project and to seek new ways of advancing the race to a higher level. We also feel that Metrostav regards us with respect as an equal partner, which gives us strength and motivates us to perform at our very best," concludes Volf.
