This method was used for the first time during excavation of a tunnel in Prague. First, the side profiles were excavated and final lining concreted, then they were interconnected by the central profile which is carried by two rows of columns. For the entrance halls and the underpass under Evropská Street cut and covered method was used. The project also included installation of many technologies such ventilation, lighting, power and data cables.
