About Us
Tunguard is made up of independent experts, providing services for road, rail and transit tunnels, stations and other underground facilities such as power plants, utilidors and cable ducts, mines and underground construction sites.
From concept and design through commissioning, acceptance testing and operation, we support you during the whole life cycle. Feedback from realisation and operation provides valuable findings for future planning!
We act as a team of independent experts. No supplier ties, no product agenda, but providing the optimal solution to fulfil the client's need.
Our know-how is not institutional — it is personal. Our team members have personally worked on more than 200 tunnel projects worldwide, as consultants, designers, construction managers, reviewers and audit experts. That's the level of professionalism you get when you engage Tunguard.
Our Core Team
Small by intent. The person who reviews your tunnel is the person you meet on day one.
Managing Director
Robert Ockajak
Robert has been actively engaged in tunnel safety engineering since 2006. His responsibilities include project management, the design and implementation of fire and life safety systems, and the management of the company's IT infrastructure. He also holds the position of CEO, providing strategic leadership to the company.
Technical Director
Petr Pospisil
Petr brings comprehensive technical knowledge and practical experience in building technologies, industrial systems, tunnel ventilation and tunnel safety. He has worked on more than 180 tunnel projects worldwide since 1997 as project manager, ventilation lead and independent reviewer. He was leading various technical standards for tunnel safety and ventilation, and is the company's technical director.
Designer
Matúš Rácz
Matúš is a young, talented mechanical engineer specialising in safety and quality. In his work, he combines project work with modern simulation tools supported by artificial intelligence.
External Experts
Besides the core team, Tunguard International relies on a team of international experts who provide unmatched expertise in their field of work.
We work with experienced subcontractors for standard design applications, such as building electrical design and HVAC, and specialties, such as CFD simulations.
Why Tunguard
Four things shape every engagement we take on — and they are the reason clients come back to us rather than to a larger firm.
Independent by design
We act as a team of independent experts. No supplier ties, no product agenda — only the safest, most economical answer for your tunnel.
Whole life cycle
From concept and design through commissioning, acceptance testing and operation, we stay with the asset for as long as it needs us.
Simulation-led
The latest 1D and 3D CFD tools back every recommendation, so decisions rest on evidence rather than rules of thumb.
Personal experience
More than 200 tunnel projects worldwide, worked personally — not a corporate track record borrowed from a brochure.
