Designed the immersed tunnel

For years, cargo leaving the Grand Faw Port site had to travel roughly 200 kilometers of road to reach Iraq's international highway. On November 12, South Korea's Daewoo Engineering & Construction handed Iraq a 2,444-meter immersed tunnel under the Khor Al-Zubair navigation channel. The route is now 62 kilometers, and the drive falls from about two hours to roughly 35 minutes.
