TAICHUNG, Jun. 26, 2025 –CTCI Corporation, Taiwan’s leading EPC contractor, has officially commenced work on the Taichung Metro Blue Line BM01 turnkey project for the E&M systems, depot, and main power substation. The groundbreaking ceremony is held on June 26, marking a significant milestone in the development of Taichung's second metro line.

The new Blue Line will connect key transportation hubs including Shalu Station and Taichung Main Station. Upon completion in 2034, it will integrate seamlessly with the existing Green Line (Wenxin-Beitun Line)—which CTCI also contributed to—forming a convenient cross-shaped metro network that significantly enhances Taichung’s public transportation system.

The E&M project is being carried out by a joint venture led by CTCI and comprising ST Engineering Urban Solutions Ltd. (Singapore), Alstom Transport S.A. (France), and Hyundai Rotem Company (Korea). Spanning a total length of 24.78 kilometers, the line will run from Taichung Port in the west to the new Jianguo Market in the east, serving as a vital blue artery between the coastal area and the city center. The line will traverse eight districts and 53 neighborhoods, featuring 20 stations—8 elevated and 12 underground—as well as one five-level depot.

CTCI is responsible for delivering the project’s core power supply system. With its proven track record in metro E&M system integration and its successful execution of the Green Line, CTCI is confident in delivering this landmark infrastructure on time and with the highest quality, working in close collaboration with international partners to advance urban development in Taichung.

With over 30 years of experience in the transportation sector, CTCI holds the highest market share for metro E&M system projects in Taiwan. The company has been a key contributor to major metro lines, including the Taipei MRT Muzha Line—Taiwan’s first metro system—as well as the Nangang-Banqiao, Tucheng, Xinzhuang-Luzhou, Xinyi-Songshan, Wanda, and Circular Lines. Its achievements also extend to the Taichung Green Line and the Kaohsiung Orange Line.

Internationally, CTCI has expanded its presence by participating in metro and rail projects such as Singapore’s Downtown Line, Thomson–East Coast Line, and the expansion of the Gali Batu Depot. Renowned for its technical expertise and project execution capabilities, CTCI remains committed to delivering safe, reliable, and sustainable transportation infrastructure under its mission to be “the most reliable global engineering services provider,” helping shape a greener, more connected urban future.

HSINCHU, May 16, 2025- Taiwan’s leading engineering, procurement, and construction services provider CTCI Group held a ground-breaking ceremony today for Hsinchu Seawater Desalination Plant in northern Taiwan. Slated to be completed by 2027, with trial operations done by 2028, the plant is expected to produce 100,000 tons of fresh water per day, ensuring uninterrupted water supply for the high-tech industry and daily consumption.

As part of Taiwan government’s “Enhancement of Water Production by Technology” policy, this major public infrastructure located near Nanliao Fishing Harbor is among the eight large-output (exceeding 10,000 tons per day) seawater desalination plants to be built across the nation, and has been given construction priority. A team involving CTCI Corporation, ECOVE Environment Services Corp.—an affiliated company of CTCI Group— France-based SUEZ, and Hung Hua Construction will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, project management, and a 15-year period of operation and maintenance of this plant. The high-quality desalinated water will ultimately feed into the city water network, becoming a diversified water source that helps Hsinchu area stay resilient against the water supply challenges posed by climate change.

With over four decades of experience in water-related projects, CTCI has sensed a need for sustainable water resources and therefore ramped up its effort in constructing and operating water reclamation plants as well as seawater desalination plants. Hsinchu seawater desalination plant is CTCI’s latest key project following the success of five end-to-end water resources center projects completed by the company, which covered investment, construction, and operation.

Employing Green Engineering expertise, CTCI will adopt cutting-edge desalination technologies and optimize the processes, so that the seawater desalination plant may help save up to 17% of electricity and cut up to 16% of greenhouse gases. With a firm commitment in becoming “the most reliable global engineering services provider,” CTCI continues to join forces with its partners in strengthening the sustainable use of water resources and the competitiveness of industries.

Romania, Malaysia, June 13, 2025 – CTCI, Taiwan’s leading engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services provider, was recently honored with top awards at two major global invention fairs for its intelligent innovations developed through industry-academia collaboration. One of the inventions, the Intelligent Pipeline Flange Bolt Fastening Module System, received a Gold Medal and the Prize of Canada at EUROINVENT in Romania (European Exhibition of Creativity and Innovation). The other invention, the Large Pipeline Cleaning Robot, earned a Gold Medal at ITEX Malaysia (International Invention, Innovation & Technology Exhibition). These accolades reflect CTCI’s commitment to developing AI-driven engineering technologies that promote industry transformation and have garnered global recognition.

Jointly developed by CTCI and Professor Fa-Shian Chang’s team at Cheng Shiu University, both inventions have obtained patents in Taiwan. By combining Internet of Things (IoT), construction automation, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, these solutions precisely address two of the most error-prone and high-risk stages in traditional pipeline construction, significantly enhancing efficiency, quality, and safety.

The Intelligent Pipeline Flange Bolt Fastening Module System enables real-time monitoring of bolt fastening conditions and helps prevent leakage at pipeline joints caused by manual inaccuracies. Furthermore, the system utilizes AI algorithms to analyze real-time monitoring data, predict potential leakage risks, and automatically adjust fastening parameters for optimal results. This AI-driven approach enhances preventative maintenance by learning and establishing optimal fastening strategies based on data from different pipeline materials and environmental conditions." The Large Pipeline Cleaning Robot performs pipeline inspection, cleaning, and residue suction, effectively resolving issues caused by manual cleaning, such as metal abrasion and valve leakage. Data is transmitted in real time to ensure accuracy and reliability. In addition, the robot employs AI-powered image recognition to identify defects such as rust and cracks within the pipeline, generating a defect distribution map for engineers. AI algorithms also enable the robot to autonomously plan the optimal cleaning path, automatically adjust cleaning modes based on the level of contamination, and analyze data to optimize cleaning parameters and predict the remaining lifespan of the pipeline. In addition to its recent international recognition, the pipeline cleaning robot has also received the Platinum Award at the Taiwan Innotech Expo for three consecutive years and the Industry-Academia Collaboration Award from the Chinese Institute of Engineers.

Recognizing the high application value and commercialization potential of these technologies, CTCI continues to expand the integration of AI and other emerging technologies across petrochemical, power, and transportation construction projects to provide clients with smarter, more efficient, and safer engineering solutions. The company is also actively strengthening collaborations with leading academic institutions to explore the engineering applications of AI, IoT, advanced materials, and innovative construction methods, continuously injecting innovation into Taiwan’s engineering industry to support sustainable development and global competitiveness.
