Taiwan’s High Speed Railway connects Taipei with Kaoshiung with a 345 km rail road. 300km of the constructed route lead through a tunnel or viaduct structure.
The system is capable to carry 300,000 passengers daily and attains a normal speed of up to 300 kmh, and ultimately 350 kmh. The fastest journey will take passengers from Taipei to Kaohsiung within 90 minutes. Construction includes 12 passenger stations, 3 depots and 2 maintenance bases.
The scope of the contracted services included General Consulting services for the civil and architectural works, railway works, station area development, electrical and mechanical works, operations planning, financial services, legal services, BOT invitation to tender activities together with other technical consulting services related to the establishment of the High Speed Railway Project.
While being Taiwan's first construction project to solicit private participation and investment, the scale of this project makes it one of the largest construction projects in history.
