The groundbreaking ceremony to remove Busan New Port earth rock, a project won by Daelim, was held at the Busan New Port North Container Wharf in Changwon City, Gyeongnam on December 26, 2017. Some 500 people including Oceans and Fisheries Minister Kim Young-choon, Busan Mayor Suh Byung-soo, and Daelim Civil Engineering Division Chief Yun Tae-seop attended the ceremony.

Removing Earth Rock Located in the Middle of Busan New Port

The project involves removing the 2,640,000㎥ earth rock Todo, which has been an obstacle for large container ships’ voyage since it is located in the middle of the entrance to Busan New Port.

Application of the cofferdam method using foundation for the first time in Korea

Daelim plans to apply the cofferdam method using foundation (leaving the earth rock’s edge and using it as a stop gate; it will finally be destroyed after removing the internal earth rock) for the first time in Korea, including an OD (over burden) blast method in order to reduce ships’ damages. Construction is expected to take 33 months and is slated to be completed in April 2020.
