What SAGASTA s.r.o. does

SAGASTA s.r.o. is a privately held Czech design and engineering firm founded in November 2015 and headquartered in Prague that delivers multi-disciplinary planning, design, and consultancy services for transport and civil infrastructure projects. Its portfolio spans railway infrastructure (line reconstruction, electrification, station and junction design), road infrastructure (highways, intersections, motorway sections), bridges and engineering structures, building and underground structures (tunnels, stations, depots), water management structures, electrical engineering (including photovoltaics), architecture, and environmental assessment. The firm operates through three specialized studios (Railway Infrastructure, Building and Underground Structures, Road and Bridge Structures) and uses BIM/3D modeling tools (AutoCAD, REVIT, Microstation) to produce digital-twin outputs with embedded lifecycle metadata. SAGASTA has also pioneered geothermal energy extraction from underground structures, authoring feasibility studies for Prague Metro Line D and partnering with VŠB–Technical University of Ostrava on an OP TAC-funded R&D consortium (2026–2028) developing photonic sensing and Thermal Performance Test prototypes.

The company's revenue model is professional services delivered primarily through Czech public procurement tenders, with a client base centered on state-owned infrastructure authorities: Správa železnic (Railway Administration), Ředitelství silnic a dálnic ČR (Road and Motorway Directorate), České dráhy, and Dopravní podnik hl. m. Prahy. Notable contracts include the CZK 1.3 billion Oldřichov–Litvínov line reconstruction/electrification, the CZK 755 million Cheb maintenance hall, the CZK 580.9 million D3 SSÚD Kaplice, and the CZK 38.4 million Central Control Centre at Balabenka for VRT high-speed rail operations. SAGASTA has expanded from 5 founders to approximately 220 staff across 9 offices in Czech Republic and Slovakia, completed more than 1,000 projects, and is diversifying geographically through SAGASTA SK s.r.o. (established 2025 with 30+ employees) and consolidating via acquisitions of a 65% stake in VPÚ DECO Praha (2024) and a 40% stake in K-GEO s.r.o. (2025).
