Construction Permit Design for the construction of atmospheric collectors 3 and 4 for the purpose of equipping the Makiš field location – Investor: Belgrade Land Development Public Agency

The subject of this project is the preparation of technical documentation of atmospheric collectors 3 and 4 located in the area of the project "Equipping the Makiš field location", and for the purpose of the construction of the metro depot and the first phase of the construction of the Belgrade Metro Line 1. The purpose of Phase 1 is the construction and drainage of the depot of the future metro.

Preparation of the Study of the Interaction of Line 1 of the Belgrade Metro and Groundwater

The subject of this Study refers to the first phase of the construction of Line 1 of the Belgrade Metro, from the Železnik station to the Karaburma station, 16.7 km long, where 16 stations will be built. The general objectives of the Study, based on the technical solution for the metro construction from the Preliminary Design for Line 1 ("Egis Rail 2021") and the results of previous geological and hydrogeological investigations, are to provide high-quality information regarding the underground water regime, necessary for the preparation of a contract with the contractor (which also includes the preparation of technical documentation for several stages of design). The specific objectives of the Study are to obtain, based on numerical modeling for different hydrological conditions, the necessary elements for the purposes of designing and calculation of the elements for the protection of buildings from groundwater (tunnel sections and stations) and to assess the impact on the construction of future facilities on the state of the underground water regime in the wider area of the alignment of the first phase of Metro Line 1.

Survey of the existing state of buildings and structures for the purposes of determining the inherent sensitivity to the influence of the construction of tunnel sections and stations of the first phase - Line 1 of the metro

The aim of this Study is to analyze the existing state of buildings and structures within the zone of geotechnical influence of the first phase of line 1 of the metro. Based on the assessment of the existing state of buildings and structures, their inherent sensitivity to the impacts of the construction of tunnel sections, stations and the accompanying metro infrastructure will be determined. The purpose of the analysis is to apply the most up-to-date construction mitigation methods. The main cause of potential damages to buildings and structures is movement in the soil caused by: the passage of the "TBM" machine (Tunnel Boring Machine), underground construction of stations, supporting structures (vertical openings for ventilation and evacuation) and sections in "Cut&Cover", possible changes in the level of underground water during construction, as well as other causes arising from the driving of piles, soil compaction, etc. The objectives of the survey of the existing condition of buildings and structures are as follows:

• Interior and exterior inspection of existing buildings and structures within the GZU (Geotechnical Zone of Influence)
• Checking and assessing the condition of existing buildings and structures within the GZU in order to define their inherent sensitivity in terms of soil deformation
• Checking and assessing the condition of existing buildings and structures within the GZU in order to define their inherent sensitivity to vibrations. This Study refers to buildings and structures in a broad sense and includes the following:
- All types of buildings (houses, buildings, skyscrapers, historical monuments, etc.) and their immediate surroundings
- Underground constructions such as ventilation openings, garages, underground pedestrian passages, etc.
- Bridges, viaducts, etc.

Three prizes were awarded, the first prize went to the architectural studio OBE.

Digital topographic mapping for the purpose of planning and technical documentation for Line 2 of the Belgrade Metro and the joint depot of lines 2 and 3 in Bežanija, December 2021

Line 2 of the Belgrade Metro from the station near Bežanija cemetery to the station in Mirijevo, for which the planning and technical documentation is being prepared for an up-to-date digital topographic mapping, has a total length of about 21 km with a total of 23 stations. At the terminus station of Line 2, the construction of a joint depot for lines 2 and 3 of the metro with an approximate area of 38 ha is planned, which will be located west of the Bežanija cemetery. The boundary of the digital topographic mapping on the sections between the stations should include a corridor with a total width of 160 m, 80 m to the left and right of the axis of the metro Line 2. In the zone of the stations, the boundary of the mapping was extended, 160 m from the axis of the alignment in a length of 200m. The boundary of the mapping for the depot includes an area 80 m wider than the defined boundary for the construction of the depot.

The line network and defining the necessary capacities for suburban and local transport in Belgrade, Investor: City of Belgrade - City Administration of the City of Belgrade, Secretariat for Traffic – Public Transport Authority, December 2016

The main goal of the study-research project was the creation of a new line network, i.e. the re-engineering of the existing network of lines in public suburban and local passenger transport in the city of Belgrade (zones 3 and 4 - the previous ITS2 system) based on specifically conducted research from the real system (determined transport needs and user requirements in space and time, user and potential user attitudes, etc.).

Updating the transport model of Belgrade with transport demand research, Investor: City of Belgrade, City Administration of the City of Belgrade, Secretariat for Transport, December 2015

The main goal of the study was to use the existing information base and databases available to the city to carry out traffic research and create a database on traffic requirements, capacities of parts of the network, movements of goods and passengers in public and individual transport, vehicle flows, speeds, time flow irregularities and other indicators of the state the city's traffic system is in. The databases formed in this way were the basis for updating the existing Transport Model of Belgrade, using the PTV VISION platform, and the updated model was, on the other hand, the input data for updating the Traffic Master Plan.

The network of public urban passenger transport lines and the definition of the necessary capacities in Belgrade (ITS-1), Investor: City of Belgrade - City Administration of the City of Belgrade, Secretariat for Transport - Public Transport Authority, June 2015

The main goal of the study was the formation of a new line network in the public city transport of passengers in Belgrade aimed at production and economic efficiency and effectiveness, with an emphasis on sustainable development and quality of life in the city of Belgrade. The project was supposed to provide an active systemic approach that would have an impact on the planned development of the passenger transport sector and that would respond to demand and adapt to current events and circumstances. As part of the study, a proposal for a new line network was made and it was given in three variant solutions, with the aim of reducing the costs of the city of Belgrade for public passenger transport.

Counting passengers in public transport and survey of public transport users, Investor: City of Belgrade - City Administration of the City of Belgrade, Secretariat for Transport, February 2015

The main goal of the study was to count and survey passengers for the purpose of exact determination of transportation needs and requirements of system users in space and time, and with the aim of obtaining a detailed picture of the coverage of Belgrade by the public urban passenger transportation system.
In order for the public urban passenger transport system to respond to the transport requirements with an optimal offer in terms of capacity, quality of transport service, prices and costs, it was necessary to investigate in detail the characteristics of transport needs and define them in terms of quantity and quality.
The counting/survey provided a high-quality, precise and comprehensive information basis that serves as a basis for future steps taken in order to improve and develop the complete system of public urban passenger transportation in Belgrade.
