- Tunneling in urban areas
- Deformation and settlement control: ground monitoring systems on the surface and inside the tunnel (e.g., precision levelling, inclinometers), methods for preventing excessive settlement (e.g., compensation injections)
- Monitoring systems for existing structures (buildings, engineering structures, technical infrastructure), data interpretation, and technical responses during tunnel boring
- Tunneling in various soil conditions – challenges in selecting technologies, machines, and solutions
- Innovative materials and mixtures: research into new concrete compositions (e.g., self-compacting, fiber-reinforced), the role of chemical additives, ecological aspects of production (e.g., low-emission cement)
