Hong Kong

Express Rail Link — XRL 825

MTR Corporation · Herrenknecht TBM

Overview

Hong Kong's Express Rail Link put the territory on China's high-speed network, with its entire 26-kilometre alignment underground. Contract 825 drove large rail tunnels with Herrenknecht machines beneath dense urban districts and steep terrain.

Our founder Kakita Naoki worked this contract, adding Hong Kong's demanding regulatory and geological environment — granite, faults and high cover — to the team's collective experience.

Scope of Works

  • TBM mining operations for high-speed rail bores
  • Hard-rock cutter management
  • Machine maintenance in long drives
  • Tunnel logistics over extended alignments
