After seventeen years of planning, the Kaohsiung Mass Rapid Transit project (KMRT) will open its Red and Orange lines in October 2007. This prestigious $5.2 billion project for Taiwan's largest harbor and second largest city, will intersect Kaohsiung and provide much needed public transportation in this rapidly flourishing Southern Taiwan community.

To meet the high pressure requirements of the project, Ruskin’s Industrial Engineering Group designed a special box-blade version of our TFD80 tunnel damper. The special TFD80 damper also included factory mounted actuators. 1500 in-lb industrial quality pneumatic actuators with high temp limit switches were provided to meet the 250oC (482oF) temperature requirement.
The station ventilation dampers provided were Ruskin’s FSD60, SD60, CD60 and DIBD-series products, proven throughout the world to be the standard by which all other dampers are measured.
The design and construction of the project was handled through many of Taiwan’s top consulting engineers and contractors. Waxlink provided much of the technical input for design and assisted in the consulting responsibilities for many of the stations.
As the specifications called for USA manufacturing, Ruskin plants in Mira Loma (CA) , Parsons (KS) and Fairmont (WV) all teamed up to complete this large order. In late 2005 the first shipment for Station C ...

To meet the requirements of the project specifications, Ruskin hosted two groups of engineers and contractors from Taiwan in 2005 and 2006 to witness damper testing at Ruskin’s AMCA Accredited Laboratory at their worldwide headquarters in Kansas City, MO.
During the witness tests, the following damper performance was evaluated:
Damper Leakage
Damper Pressure Drop
Elevated Temperature of 250oC (482oF) for 1 hour
Structural Integrity
Damper Closure performance
After the tests were completed, Steven Chen of Waxlink had this to say.
“The customers are very happy with the quality of the Ruskin dampers. The rugged construction of the special TFD80 Box-Blade damper is suited well to the application since the dampers must withstand many daily pressure transversals up to 6kPa.”
With the expected expansion of the system adding Blue and Brown lines in the next 2-3 years, Ruskin and Waxlink International can play a major role in the rapid economic growth of this flourishing city in Southern Taiwan.
