History
Our joint-stock company was established in 1993 as part of the privatization of the state-owned enterprise Vodohospodáský rozvoj a výstavba and thus became the successor of the independent section of Dam safety department. In the fall of 1994, the company was authorized under the Water Act and relevant regulations to perform dam safety supervision in Czech. After the entry into force of the new Water Act (No. 254/2001 Coll.), the Ministry of Agriculture, as the Central Water Authority, granted the following company a mandate to prepare assessments for the classification of water works into a category and to carry out safety supervision over water works without category restrictions.Specialisation and equipment
