29 September 2022Korean contractor Hyundai Engineering & Construction has been chosen by the Philippines Department of Transportation to build three out of nine sections of the country’s 56km Southern Commuter Railway that will connect Manila with the city of Calamba.
The contract, which is worth $1.2bn, requires Hyundai E&C to construct 32km of track. Another Korean company, Dong-Ah Geological Engineering, won a £134m deal to install foundations for the project.
