Transportation

Kunhwa’s transportation infrastructure projects are more than just roads and highways; they connect businesses, communities, and cultures together.
From now and for always, we deliver optimal, fast-track and completely integrated solutions when it comes to all modes of transportation systems such as highways, airports, railways, urban transit, and multi-modal transport exchange complexes.

Gyeongbu Highway (Biryong JCT)

Highway & Airports

Kunhwa designs transportation systems that not only connect town to town, but also link communities, businesses and cultures to create common growth and economic prosperity. We emphasize the importance of innovative, cost-effective and eco-friendly solutions for all types of transportation. In particular, in regions that endure extreme climates, Kunhwa undertakes pre-emptive action to prevent pavement distress and failures caused by wide temperature fluctuations with applying the concept of zero maintenance pavement.

Kunhwa, as a pioneer of engineering innovation in the road sector, is putting a lot of efforts into designing human-centered roads and airport infrastructures for future industries such as smart road management system and eco-friendly roads.

BRT & ITS

Kunhwa takes a holistic approach to the process of defining goals and devising long-term plans for urban transport systems. The BRT system is one of the cost-effective alternatives for revitalizing urban areas and improving traffic flow in over-populated cities. Kunhwa has implemented a series of R&D programs to develop advanced technologies for multi-modal transport transfer complexes and intelligent transport systems (ITS), such as smart highway network and electronic toll collection systems. In particular, Kunhwa has designed numerous larger-scaled intermodal transit centers recognized as landmarks and it has led Kunhwa to secure a competitive advantage in the intermodal transit center and BRT (Bus Raid Transit) projects. Kunhwa’s BRT and ITS projects showcase how intelligent and eco-friendly traffic management can and should be.
