Specialist in transport infrastructure

About us

SUDOP PRAHA a.s. designs comprehensive technical solutions

for railway, road, and industrial structures, as well as engineering networks.

Its wide range of services also includes consultancy in related areas, from transport planning and financing to assessing its environmental impact.

The remarkable history of SUDOP PRAHA a.s. dates back to the 1930s when so-called design units were established within Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD). After 1945, they were succeeded by the Railway Design Headquarters, which merged with several smaller organizations in 1953. This led to the creation of the State Institute for Transport Design (SUDOP), which, as a state enterprise , was divided into several independent entities in 1991. The legal successor of the original institute became SUDOP PRAHA s.p., which was transformed into a joint-stock company, SUDOP PRAHA a.s., on April 1, 1992, and subsequently privatized. The sole shareholder is SUDOP GROUP a.s.

PROJECTS

Implemented Solutions in Transport Infrastructure

Take a look at a selection of our most significant projects in the SUDOP PRAHA portfolio.

Highway D3: Hodějovice–Třebonín

The D3 motorway (together with the entire D8 motorway and part of the Prague Ring Road) is part of the main international road route with the designation E55, which runs from Scandinavia through our territory to Greece. Its main function is to connect the capital city of Prague with the region of South Bohemia and to connect the Tábor and České Budějovice regions to the national motorway network. 

New construction of the Prague-Smíchov - Beroun line

The aim of the project is to build a completely new section of the 3rd transit railway corridor, which will directly connect the Prague-Smíchov, Prague-Krč and Beroun stations.

VRT Polabí

The VRT pilot project in the Czech Republic is unique in that it runs simultaneously with two high-speed lines, RS1 (to Brno) and RS5 (to Hradec Králové). The project starts in Prague-Běchovice by connecting to the existing corridor line from Prague-Libně and to the VRT Prague via the Nová Dubeč tunnel, all using tunnels on two levels under the station track. 

Railway Bridge „Červená“

The new railway bridge over the Orlík reservoir near Červené nad Vltavou, which was named Schwarzenbergský when it was put into operation, will enable the use of modern passenger trains, shorten travel times and also restore freight transport on the entire line from Tábor to Písek. The new bridge is only a few meters from the original truss bridge from 1889, which was declared a technical monument. 

Smíchov Station Development Project

The transformation of Smíchov Station includes several projects being prepared in parallel, backed by various investors. From the reconstruction of the Prague - Smíchov railway station and the station building itself, to the construction of a new pedestrian bridge over the station, to the construction of the Smíchov Terminal, which will closely connect the metro, tram transport, bus transport and railways.

Hořín lifting bridges

The solution to the insufficient height parameter of the underpass was directly related to the modification of the bridge structures. The reconstruction of the bridge structures also increased the capacity of the transport connection with the island area between the Vltava River and the navigation channel. The new structures meet the requirements of the valid ČSN EN standards and all the parameters of the international waterway of the TEN-T network.

Tunnels under Vítkov on the New Connection in Prague

The tunnels under Vítkov are part of the New Connection, which increases the capacity of traffic between the Main and Masaryk Railway Stations towards Libeň and Vysočany. Based on the EIA documentation issued in 1996, it was decided to run the line through Vítkov through two double-track tunnels in order to minimize the impact of traffic on the population in the adjacent neighborhoods. 

Four-track railway overpass over Masaryk Station

Without a doubt, the most interesting and complex bridge structure, the architectural dominant and the face of the entire New Connection in Prague, is the Masarykovo nádraží railway overpass. This bridge carries the four-track railway line from Prague Main Station to Libeň and Vysočany, across Husitská Street, Trocnovská Street and the area of ​​the closed Masarykovo nádraží locomotive depot. 

Bridge over the Marica River

The new bridge is part of a new railway connection between Bulgaria and Turkey, designed for speeds of up to 200 km/h. The bridge over the Maritsa River consists of ten identical load-bearing structures made up of 40-meter arches integrated with a frame and embedded into a massive substructure, along with two reinforced concrete frames at the end supports. The total length of the bridge is 430 meters.

New connection in Prague Prague hl. n., Prague Masarykovo n. - Libeň, Vysočany, Holešovice

This line is considered one of the most important infrastructure projects in Prague, and the effort to improve the connection between the Main Station and Libení, along with the connection to Vysočany, has its roots in the 1950s.

Reconstruction of the passenger building at the railway station. Plzeň Main Station

The preparation of a comprehensive reconstruction of the listed station building of Plzeň's main railway station, put into operation in 1907, which aimed to restore its original glory and then provide passengers with a significant increase in comfort. Thus, not only was the design of the spaces unified, but also the movement of passengers was facilitated and the station was more strongly connected with its surroundings.

CDP Prague

The construction of the central dispatching facility has enabled remote control of operations on major railway lines in the Czech Republic. The concept is based on consolidating a large number of remotely controlled stations into a single location, bringing financial savings, workforce reductions, implementation of advanced functions, management of rolling stock, locomotives, and routes, integration with ERTMS, connection to other systems, and enhanced operational safety.

Study of the roofing of Prague Masarykovo railway station

The design for the new track layout and its roofing comes from the workshops of SUDOP PRAHA and Jakub Cigler Architekti.

The reconstruction involves a comprehensive modernization of the station, including expanding the number of tracks from seven to nine and constructing a new vestibule in the form of a roofed structure connecting the areas of Na Florenci, Hybernská, and Opletalova streets with access to individual platforms.
