We believe that sustainable development in infrastructure and underground spaces is inevitable and is one of the pillars of the modern world. We strive to adapt infrastructure growth to environmental challenges.
We provide various services such as design, consulting and supervision on tunnels, underground spaces and deep excavations and foundations. We specialize in the monitoring of Infrastructure Projects (provide a comprehensive report of monitoring procedures of displacements and unusual settlements).
Our scope of activity includes the following:

Geology/Geotechnics
Tunnel boring machine (TBM) and conventional tunneling (NATM) in subway, urban tunnels, road tunnels, railway tunnels, and utility tunnels
Underground spaces
Civil structures
Route construction
Cavern constructions for the power industry
Water supply and disposal networks
Alignment design
Rehabilitation of infrastructures
Mechanical-Electrical design and ventilation for tunnels

Dipl.-Eng. Babak Mohammadalizadeh Rafie

Babak has more than 17 years of professional experience in civil engineering in the field of performing braced urban excavation, stabilization of retaining walls such as nailing, anchoring and in-situ piles. Also, experience in the field of construction of tunnels, underground subway stations, offshore piling, injection of cutoff walls under the dams and injection to improve subgrades and track beds.

Tunnel Chain Granitztal, Carenthia (Austria, April 2015 - January 2018)

The length of tunnel is about 6.1 km (double track railway tunnel in NATM/shotcrete lining method) a part of Austrian high-speed train network.
Tunnel is constructed in 3 parts:

Tunnel Deutsch Grutschen 2,5 km
Tunnel Langer Berg 2,9 km in hard rock (neogenic sediments: conglomerate and silt-sandstone and Permo-mesozoic: siltstone and fine sandstone)
700 m Cut and Cover in soft soil, extreme geotechnical situation like lake sediments, called Granitztaler beds

In tunnel Langer Berg was the excavation encountered with unexpected swelling anhydrit layer in sulphate rock mass. That caused to adjustment of design and implementation during construction. Long term monitoring in this part is going on.
