Kaohsiung Metropolitan Mass Rapid Transit System (KMRT), Taiwan
 
Feature highlights:
  • Gamuda’s stringent approach to environmental quality control and management won the project the ‘Air Quality Protection Award’ and the ‘National Environmental Protection Outstanding Award’ from the Government of Taiwan. Nominated among many construction sites in the Kaohsiung County, the awards are evidenced of Gamuda’s commitment and high standards in quality and environmental responsibility.



Gamuda penetrated the competitive Taiwanese construction market with a bid to build a section of Kaohsiung’s mass rapid transit system.

The Kaohsiung Metropolitan Mass Rapid Transit System CO4 is one of 11 civil works packages along a 43km alignment with 37 stations , running in a north-south direction (Red Line) and east-west direction (Orange Line) and intersecting in the city centre.

Gamuda took on the construction of two parallel underground tunnels 3.86km long, two underground stations, the Fengshan Junior High School and a 4-level Dadung station. Especially challenging was tunnelling works in the alignment’s soft soil condition and the construction of the Dadung station to be sited at the deepest of the KMRT system at 28.3m beneath road level.
