deliver major new mass transit systems. We bring a long history of constructing mass transit projects in Asia and around the world. We have a strong reputation for delivering high quality underground structures on schedule and within budget.

We have gained a position of world leadership in underground construction. By implementing safe excavation means and methods, we deliver bridge-scale subsurface structures within congested urban environments. We use state-of-the-art construction methods to build underground structures that reliably create new underground space below the crowded inner city environment with minimal disruption to ongoing activities. Our extensive experience in the use of pressurized tunnel boring machine (TBM) technologies minimize settlement issues and create low-impact tunnels adjacent and below office towers and residential high-rise structures.

We are committed to bringing the latest construction technologies and lessons learned to your subway program. Our goal is to provide best-value engineering and construction services to our clients and to forge long-lasting partnerships. We want to set the benchmark against which other construction contractors are measured.

Seoul Metro Line No. 7 Extension Lot 704. This subway was
constructed in a densely populated urban area. Key features include EPBMmined tunnels with segmental linings, NATM tunnels, and vertical open-cuts for the stations. The tunnel segment was constructed just below road and pedestrian thoroughfares in close proximity to commercial towers, and a department store. The tunnel was excavated adjacent to multiple utility conduits and ducting. Length: Diameter: TBM Type: 510.0m/694.7m 7.13m Earth pressure balance TBM

Taiwan Twin Tunnel 201 and Underground Stations. Twin

375-meter shield tunnels with a 5.9-meter diameter. The tunnels were bored with an earth pressure balanced TBM (earth pressure balance) and lined with a one-pass, gasketed segmental lining. Length: Diameter: TBM Type: 2 x 375m 5.9m Earth pressure balance TBM

Delhi Metro. Samsung has provided services for three projects to date: the
Airport Line, Phase 2 BC-18, and Metro Corridor MCIB. The 22.7km Airport Express corridor helps commuters reach the Indira Gandhi International Airport in 18 minutes from New Delhi. A road journey on the same stretch will take at least an hours time. The line has a total of six stations. For the Phase 2 BC-18 project, Samsung was part of a joint venture to design and construct the tunnel by shield TBM and stations by the cut and cover. The Metro Corridor MCIB is where Samsung was a major partner in a joint venture for a total turnkey design and construct contract for the underground metro corridor between ISBT station and Central Secretariat in New Delhi.
