Railway department of Seoyoung has achieved outstanding growth by participating in the entire railway project including private/turnkey/technical proposal for more than 20 years since it started to participate in the turn-key project for the dual-track Gyeongchun Railroad Line in 1999. Our company maintains the highest level of sales per person over the last 3 years. Railway department, a late entrant in the industry, succeeded in sighing the turn-key projects in a competitive design market through accumulated experiences by value engineering.
Not stopping at the achievements of the past, the railway department continually participates in the national R&D project including the infrastructural research for the improvement of the speed of the rapid transit railroad. PRT research services and improvement of the speed of the existing lines through the inputting of tilting railway trains enhance the technologies to lead the future national railroad projects. In addition, we have made contributions towards the building up of the national railroad network by executing several preliminary feasibility studies.
Railway department has been providing various services including feasibility study, basic plan, basic and execution designs for the railroad construction projects in Korea and overseas that encompasses rapid transit railroad, general railroad, metropolitan railroad, urban railroad and light rail transit, etc. Moreover, we are promoting the advanced railroad construction technology of Korea through the operation of railroad technology school in Paraguay in South
America and expanding it to other countries such as Mongolia, and putting in efforts in social participation through technology transfer to developing countries.
We participated in urban railroad construction projects including the Subway routes 7 and 9 in Seoul, Subway routes 1 and 2 in Incheon, Subway route 3 in Daegu, Hanam line, Gimpo city railroad and Jinjeop line, etc. Also in numerous arterial line railroad projects such as Jungang line, Gyeongchoon line, Janghang line and Gyengjeon line, etc. were planned and designed by Seoyoung.

◆ Key Projects
- Trackbed alternative designs for sections 1 and 2 of the Honam high speed railway (HSR) 1-2
Honam Rapid Transit Railroad is a part of the KTX in Korea and extends from Yongsan Station in Seoul to Songjeong Station in Gwangju. After having completed the basic plan for the project in August, 2006, design was executed over 3 years prior to the commencement of the construction in May 2009. The operation of this railroad began on April 2, 2015. Honam Rapid Transit Railroad (Honam KTX) was constructed for the purpose of balanced growth of the country, particularly, the activation of economy in the regions of Chungcheong and Honam. It is a mega-scale national policy project with the total length of 182.3km and total budget of 8.33 trillion Won to link the Osong Station with Gongju Station, Iksan Station, Jeongeup Station and Songjeong Station in Gwangju.
Seoyoung Engineering was in charge of the execution design of the Sectors 1 & 2 (alternative design) and the Sector 4 among the Seoul~Songjeong, Gwangju Line. We executed the design under the slogan of “Towards the most outstanding railway, the Honam Line, that will run with the hope for the future by carrying the beautiful scenery of the regions including undulating hills, peaceful fields and clean rivers” by considering the geological conditions of the land on which Honam KTX is being constructed.
With the commencement of the Honam KTX, the traveling time between Yongsan, Seoul ~ Songjeong, Gwangju was shortened from 2 hours and 39 minutes to 1 hour and 33 minutes (average of 1 hour and 47 minutes). As a result, half a day life zone that was previously limited to the regions around the Gyeongbu Axis was expanded to the entire country.
