- The construction of 6.3 km long central part of 2nd metro line in Warsaw was completed in September 2014 (7 stations built using cut and cover method, two single-track tunnels constructed using 4 EPB TBMs). The price was approx. 1 billion EUR; Central section of the 2nd metro line was opened to public after verification, testing etc. in March 2015. Design and build tender for the extension of this line in east (3 stations) and west direction (3 stations) was announced with total length of running tunnels - approx. 5 km.
- The construction of road tunnel under the Martwa Wisła river in Gdańsk is in the final stage. The total length of the passage will be 1970 m (approach ramps - 340 m, cut and cover tunnels 680 m, two 1076 m long tunnels executed using 12,56 diameter Mixshield TBM) The construction of safety cross passages using soil freezing is now in progress, Fig. 1. Completion of works is scheduled for autumn 2015.
- Construction works of Łódź Fabryczna 16.5 m deep underground railway station (multimodal hub integrating multiple communication systems) as well as 1200 m long access tunnel are completed. The station and tunnels were made using cut and cover method (diaphragm wall technology). Completion of works is initially scheduled for 2015/2016.
- Sewer tunnel along Marymoncka street in Warsaw (3.000m long; 3.32 m diameter) construction in progress - microtunneling (due date December 2015). Fig. 2.
- Design and built tender was announced for the construction of road tunnel in Warsaw being a part of south city ring. Due date March 2019. The tunnel will be 2.700 m long, 3 lanes in each direction; construction method - cut and cover.
- Feasibility study for the construction of metro in Wrocław was completed. The city is now seeking for financing. A public consultation continues on the construction of metro in Kraków.
- Construction of following underground museums is in final stage:
- the New Silesian Museum of Art in Katowice (due date 2015)
