stavokov — Tue, 05 May 2026 06:03:57 +0000

Our company carried out the construction of the National Tennis Centre in Bratislava. The ceremonial opening took place on 19 September 2003 during the Davis Cup match between Slovakia and the USA. This sports complex, particularly its central court, also serves as a multifunctional hall for hosting various cultural and social events.

The National Tennis Centre consists of several building structures. The five-court tennis hall is one of the components of the NTC complex. The entire facility is located on the former grounds of TK Slovan Bratislava. The steel structure consists of arched truss girders with a span of 37.0 m in modular axes of 3.050 m. The total length of the structure is 95.3 m, including a 3.0 m expansion joint section. The gable walls are monolithic reinforced concrete with a thickness of 200 mm.

The theoretical height of the truss girder is 800 mm, the radius of the upper chord curvature is 28.0 m, and the arch rise is 7.1 m. The girders are pinned to the reinforced concrete walls. Every sixth arch is stabilized with a tie rod. The upper and lower chords of the girder are made of tubes with a diameter of 168.3 × 8.8 mm, and the diagonals are 76.0 × 4.0 mm. The tie rod is designed from a tube with a diameter of 101.6 × 12.5 mm.

Longitudinal stability of the structure is ensured by truss bracing elements anchored at both ends of the hall into the gable monolithic walls. Roof bracing around the perimeter is designed from tubes with a diameter of 114.3 × 6.3 mm.

The roof envelope is designed as a layered system combined with skylights. A curved U-profile made of 3 mm sheet metal is welded onto the upper chord of the truss arch, to which an 80 mm perforated trapezoidal sheet is attached. Above it, geotextile and 50 mm acoustic insulation are installed. This is followed by a vapour barrier membrane, 200 mm high Z-shaped spacer profiles, and 180 mm thermal insulation. A vapour-permeable membrane is placed above the insulation. The outer cladding consists of a 35 mm trapezoidal sheet.

Above each court, large-area skylights made of Lexan are installed within the plane of the roof cladding.

This project received The Grand Prize and the title “Building of the Year 2004.”

Footbridge over the Morava River

stavokov — Mon, 04 May 2026 07:06:15 +0000

Our company delivered a major project – a steel footbridge connecting the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The structure serves pedestrians and cyclists, linking the villages of Mikulčice and Kopčany, and integrates with local cycling and tourist routes in an area rich in history and protected natural landscape.

The bridge was completed and officially opened in 2019 after approximately one year of construction. Its design and placement were carefully adapted to strict environmental requirements and site constraints, including limited access from the Czech side.

The footbridge is designed as a slender steel structure with a composite steel-concrete deck. It spans 141 m, with a main span over the river, and is supported by a system of truss girders and arches with suspended elements. The substructure consists of abutments and piers founded on deep reinforced concrete piles.

This project combines technical precision with respect for the surrounding environment, creating a functional and elegant connection between the two countries.

New Elevator for the Social Services Home

stavokov — Mon, 04 May 2026 07:00:33 +0000

For the Care Home in Trenčín, we delivered a project designed to improve accessibility for clients with limited mobility and enhance working conditions for staff. The project, “New Elevator for the Social Services Home,” provides a modern and reliable solution tailored to the needs of the facility.

The 9-storey building is now equipped with an elevator with a capacity of 1,600 kg, serving all floors. The structure combines a reinforced concrete base with a steel-framed shaft clad in sandwich panels. Each floor connection is integrated into the existing building, ensuring safe and efficient access throughout.

We believe this project will meet all requirements and, above all, make a meaningful difference for those who rely on these services.

Bridge Přerov

In December 2024, our company successfully completed the realization of the load-bearing structure for the project “SO 209 Viaduct at km 82.973 over the Bečva River and the Olomouc–Přerov railway line,” with a total steel structure weight of 2,523 tonnes.
The main load-bearing system of the bridge consists of two independent composite steel–concrete twin-girder structures with 20 spans (each structure carrying one traffic direction), featuring a top deck and founded on shared deep foundations. Structurally, each load-bearing system acts as a continuous longitudinal girder.
The left bridge structure (direction Brno), with a total width of 17.700 m, consists of two main girders with a center-to-center spacing of 8.550 m. The right bridge structure (direction Ostrava), with a total width of 15.550 m, consists of two main girders with a center-to-center spacing of 7.500 m.
The total theoretical length of the load-bearing structure is 925.8 m.

The “Footbridge to the Alluvium of the Orechovský Stream” project follows the development of the recreational area in Trenčín, in the Orechové district. The aim of the structure is to connect pedestrian routes between the Váh embankment and the alluvial area of the Orechovský Stream, thereby making this popular natural environment accessible to both residents and visitors of the city.

The load-bearing structure consists of a steel footbridge installed on concrete supports on both banks, supplemented by gabion walls, a staircase, and access paths made of interlocking pavers and concrete. The deck is designed as a timber surface made of acacia wood.

Our company is responsible for the fabrication, assembly, and installation of the steel structure with a weight of approximately 14 tons. The realization of the footbridge will provide a safe and aesthetically pleasing connection between urban recreational routes, the natural park, and the cycling route “By Bike Along the Tracks of History.”

Reconstruction of the Historic Šmejkalka Bridge

stavokov — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 07:17:33 +0000

The Šmejkalka Bridge is a reinforced concrete arch motorway bridge located on the D1 motorway in the Prague-East district, spanning the Šmejkalka valley. It is the oldest motorway bridge in the Czech Republic.
In 2025, its reconstruction began, aiming at a complete renewal while preserving the historic arch. Our company is also involved in this project through the fabrication and installation of steel structures.
The main load-bearing structure of the bridge deck consists of 24 individually composite steel–concrete crossbeams with welded I-shaped sections, divided into three phases (central, left, and right parts of the crossbeams). The steel load-bearing structure also includes longitudinal steel connecting elements of the transverse beams with welded I-shaped sections, arranged in two rows above the fixed point of the left bridge arch.

Pedestrian Underpass near the Elizabeth Hotel, Trenčín

Martin — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 22:28:45 +0000

Our company has become part of the enhancement of the City of Trenčín within the preparations for the project “European Capital of Culture 2026” and is carrying out the complete reconstruction of the covering of the pedestrian underpass above the stairway area near the Elizabeth Hotel.
The structure consists of a steel load-bearing framework and glass infill panels for both the roof and wall sections. The steel structure covering the entrance to the underpass replaces the original reinforced concrete cover.
The spatial structure has been designed with a strict architectural concept. It will be installed using a mobile crane from a reinforced surface. The columns and other steel elements are anchored to the existing reinforced concrete wall and the elevator shaft.
The entire load-bearing structure is designed from steel tubes. The vertical supporting elements consist of four steel columns, each finished with a spherical joint node. In addition to the main steel columns, these profiles are also supported by intermediate columns and bracing elements.
The reconstruction of the covering does not change the original ground plan of the structure.
The proposed renovation of the underpass entrance aims to improve both the technical and architectural expression by creating a modern covering that serves as a connection between the underpass and the exterior space.
