Project description

Carrying out geological, geomechanical, geophysical, hydrogeological and seismological investigations for the project documentation for the construction of the second track of the railway line Divača - Koper. We are acting as part of a consortium within the project. We are responsible for the geological, geomechanical, geophysical and hydrogeological investigations of the T2, T5 and T7 tunnels and the V2 viaduct. We are also responsible for a portion of drilling works.

Technical properties

More than half of the route is tunnelled, with one part of the route in carbonate rocks, where karst phenomena are well developed, and the other part in more tectonically fractured flysch rock.
