About ESCO

ESCO, a specialist group of civil and geotechnical engineers

for the development of underground space, ground improvement and foundation engineering is resourceful, readily available andhighly equipped to work for any potential clients. ESCO has been providing total engineering services from planning to operationsin relation to the type of projects within its special sphere of competence as mentioned above. Some prime clients of ESCO includeworld renowned companies such as Samsung, Hyundai, SK, Daelim, Ssangyong, GS, POSCO and KEPCO, etc.

ESCO has enormous experience in characterizing the subsurface geological conditions, ranging from clays to hard rocks. ESCOengineers are particularly qualified in classifying the geological and geotechnical information for the design of underground space. They are also adept in providing appropriate construction methods, support systems, execution sequences, drawings andspecifications. Furthermore, all our engineers are extremely familiar with commercially available software; many different typesof numerical verifications can be provided at any given time with a competent degree of accuracy. ESCO is very proud of itscompetitiveness in its sphere of competence, consistently providing technically compatible, cost-effective and sound engineeringsolutions since its establishment. Subsequently, ESCO was designated as “The Korean Brain Power (K-Brain Power)”by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (Government of Korea) in 2014. ESCO is currently carrying out the Government GrantR&D Projects amounting to USD 2.6 million.

ESCO engineering services include: feasibility studies, preliminary and detail design, as well as construction supervisionfor underground structures (tunnels, caverns, underground stations and shafts) for technically demanding issues in undergroundconstruction. The broad spectrum of ESCO services that have been provided for over two decades can be grouped as:
1
Bored, mined and cut-and-cover tunnels (roads, railways, subways);
2
Undersea and underwater tunnels;
3
Caverns;
4
Land reclamation and ground improvements and
5
R&D.
