The project entails the realignment of an underground railway line and construction of the Ping Zhen commuter station under a Tao Yuan city and Taiwanese government strategic infrastructure plan.

It will require the construction of 3.734km of underground twin-bound railway track with an underground commuter station. Work on the project is expected to last 96 months.

In a statement issued today, Gamuda said the project also requires some bridge protection works, the relocation of the Laojie river bridge and the construction of a temporary above-ground station.

The project, Gamuda’s sixth in Taiwan, will be a 60:40 joint venture with Asia World Engineering & Construction Co.

Gamuda’s first project in Taiwan was a 3.86km package of the 43km Kaohsiung metropolitan mass rapid transit line.

Its ongoing projects in the country include the construction and completion of a 1.23km marine bridge at Guantang and a 376m extension of the bridge, a 4,014m-long seawall at the Taipei port and a 7.3km 161kV underground transmission line from Songshu to Guanfeng.
