CTCI Resources Engineering Inc. (CTCI REI) announced today that it has been granted national accolade by winning three Public Construction Golden Safety Awards this year for its projects in Taiwan, given by Taiwan’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Ministry of Labor.

The three awards include one Excellence Award for “geological investigation, surveying, and design work for Taiwan Provincial Highway No.7D 14K+415 Xincheng Bridge replacement project” and two Honorable Mention Awards for “planning, detail design, and supervision service for air force’s Shi Zishan Cavern” and “Donghu∮1,000mm water pipeline shield tunnel turnkey project.”

As a government recognition, the Public Construction Golden Safety Awards is Taiwan’s most rigorous award in the evaluation of engineering companies’ health, safety, and environment (HSE) performances.

Taiwan Provincial Highway No. 7D project is hailed for its safety features, including larger bridge spans, wider road, and bigger turning radius for flood control and traffic safety.

In Shi Zishan Cavern project, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is used to form hazard reduction strategies in a confined workspace. Engineering meticulously cared for the need for hazardous gas detection, as well as for noise protection during military jet take-offs and landings.

The highly sophisticated Donghu water pipeline tunnel project is praised for its excellent detailed design, risk assessment, and obstacle research, the success of which can be seen in optimized linear pipelines and the bypass of underground obstacles.

CTCI REI, a subsidiary of CTCI Group, is Taiwan’s leading engineering, procurement, and construction company in public infrastructure, civil, and transportation projects. The company upholds “safety first” and “total accountability” principles throughout every project, achieving proud HSE records. It will continue to commit to making HSE improvement and keeping safety cultures in order to deliver reliability to clients around the world.

Seven CTCI Group Companies, including CTCI Corporation, ECOVE Environment Corporation, ECOVE Environment Services Corporation, CTCI Machinery Corporation, CTCI Resources Engineering Inc., CTCI Smart Engineering Corporation, and ECOVE Waste Management Corporation, are chosen as Top 650 Enterprises in Service Sector, as CommonWealth Magazine’s Top 2,000 Enterprises Survey results show this May. CTCI Corporation garners top 5% and remains No.1 in the contractor category. Many other Group companies also remain on other rankings lists.

Rankings are primarily based on revenue scale in 2019. In total, 2,100 companies with excellent performances are selected, and are further broken down into three categories, namely “Top 1,350 Enterprises in Manufacturing Sector,” “Top 650 Enterprises in Service Sector,” and “Top 100 Enterprises in Financial Services Sector.” The following is each Group company’s specific ranking among the top 650 enterprises in service sector:

Before reconstruction, the bridge was often closed due to typhoon, which had a huge impact on the local traffic.

CTCI REI collected the hydrological data of Puzi River basin over the years and deliberated with relevant units to provide the best reconstruction plan for Huaxing bridge in the planning stage, including heightening the bridge beam bottom and straightening the route to improve the traffic safety and enhance the flood control during the flood season. During the construction stage, the old bridge was open to alleviate the traffic congestion and sidewalks were added to reduce the impact on pedestrians. In the bridge construction stage, BIM was introduced to build 3D model to solve the construction conflict points so as to improve the quality of the project. After the completion of the bridge piers, adjustment of Puzi River channel was made to decrease the impact of flood on piers and increase the durability of bridges. Art installations representing local culture were decorated on the completed bridge. In addition to improving the safety and quality of life of the residents, the beautiful light sculpture at night has also made the bridge a popular local Facebook check-in location.
