Project Information
    • Location
       Paengseong-eup, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea

      

    • Description
      • Total L = 4,519m     
      • Tunnel L = 2,380m
      • Cut and cover Box L = 750m      
      • Earthworks L = 389m                   

      

        • Technical Issues
          • Design of the tunnel considering the high speed train (design speed: 350km/h) in a single track line, the first case in Korea
