CEC Taiwan recently achieved great progress in both civil and building construction markets. First, in April, CEC Taiwan obtained from Huaku Development the contract to construct a building at the site of the former Jingmei Financial Training Center, Taipei. On May 30, it received notice from the Directorate General of Highways, MOTC, that it has won the bid to construct Renshui Tunnel on Suhua Highway, part of an effort to renovate the highway located in eastern Taiwan. Winning the bid with competition from strong competitors, including Shimizu Corporation Taiwan Office and Obras Subterraneas S.A. Taiwan Branch, is indeed a significant achievement.<\/p>\n
