Underground Space

Diverse applications from industrial plants, research facilities, hydroelectric power stations, recreational facilities, protective structures, storage facilities, waste disposal facilities and quarries have a joint characteristic. They need large areas, which are becoming ever scarcer. The consequences are significant land acquisition costs. If situated near residential areas, resistance to the planned facilities is likely, leading to new legal requirements and delays.

Conditions placed on the environmental compatibility of facilities lead to expensive measures. Some of the facilities need a high level of protection, while others require uniform environmental conditions. Building a facility in an underground cavern can be the optimal solution – underground facilities need less or no land, have less impact on the surrounding countryside, prevent certain obligations, offer uniform climatic conditions and very high levels of protection.
