BUSAN, S. Korea, Jan. 8, 2010 -- The Nakdong Barrier, a prestigious barrier in South Korea, is to be built using the design by engineering consultancy DHV. The current barrier is twenty years old and, because of climate change, needs to be extended. Construction on the project - which involves an investment of 125 million euros - begins in mid 2010 and project completion is scheduled for mid 2012. DHV, together with Samsung Engineering & Construction and the Korean engineering consultancy Yooshin, is responsible for the winning design.
