About Radek Bernard

Underground and mining constructions, NATM engineer by conventional tunneling, Geotechnical engineer, Geotechnical monitoring of geotechnical structures, Geotechnical & construction supervision, H&S Coordinator during construction. Brief Summary of my carrier. After Graduation at Mining University in Ostrava (Feb 1992) I started my carrier in Mine, then after restructuralization of Mining Industry in Czechia, I started to work in Underground Constructions 1994, as Geotechnical Engineer or Tunnel Engineer. Currently I have huge experience more than 31 Years of different underground structures, from very poor/weak soil ground condition (sands, clay, mix weak material at Fault zones) to mid rock condition (slates, sandstones, limestones) up to very hard rock condition (granites, quartzites). I have worked as Tunnel Engineer, Senior Tunnel Engineer, Head Geotechnical Engineer, Team Leader of Supervision LOT up to Project Manager of Supervision party at Highway (FIDIC), Railways Tunnels (High Speed Railways too), Metro Project or Gas Storage reservoir, etc. I have gained my experiences from Underground structures at The Czech Republic till 2010, when was boom of Tunnelling construction (from the mid of 90s of last century). Then from 2011 I have worked at several interesting & Challenging Projects at the Globe, from short cooperation in the USA, trough China, India to my current role at Canada. Most often I played above mentioned roles at NATM/SEM or Drill & Blast Project, with short experience of TBM Project. I am Chartered Geotechnical Engineer at Czechia, Mining Specialist with the all Certificates from Czech Mining Authority, H&S Manager for Underground structures & Constructions sites on the surface. I graduated of Ph.D. study of Geotechnical work and underground construction at Civil Engineering Faculty of Ostrava´s University at 2011. I like new challenges, I like recognize new places and I really like travelling…
