Phase 1 of Seoul - Busan high speed line will open to public on April 1st. Korea selected the TGV system back in 1994, becoming the first country in the Far East to use the French technology in regard to high speed rail.

SYSTRA became involved in the project back in 1994, helping solve a number of technical problems arising from design criteria specific to high speed, in regard to the infrastructure as a whole. Since then, SYSTRA provided services in many fields: civil engineering, track laying, training, maintenance…

Other services were provided in the context of the "Associated Services" contract signed with ALSTOM in February 1995, some of which are to continue until 2006
