Powering Taiwan’s Infrastructure: Hydrauli-Flex and ICE Equipment in Action
As Taiwan continues its rapid ascent in the global economy, becoming the 20th largest economic power in the world, the demand for robust infrastructure solutions has never been greater. With a population of 23 million and a trade volume that reached a staggering $907 billion in 2022, the need for reliable and efficient construction equipment is critical. This is where Hydrauli-Flex, a leading hydraulic hose manufacturer, and ICE Equipment come into play, driving progress on key infrastructure projects across the island.
The Role of ICE Equipment in Taiwan’s Growth
One shining example of this collaboration is the recent partnership between I-San Construction Co. LTD and International Construction Equipment, Inc. (ICE®). Founded in 1978, I-San Construction has been at the forefront of piling and dredging foundation engineering, tackling projects that range from heavy industrial plants to seaports. Their latest endeavor involves expanding one of Taiwan’s crucial marine ports, an initiative that underscores the nation’s commitment to maintaining its status as a major trading hub.
For this project, I-San Construction chose ICE® Model 110 Vibratory Hammer and ICE® Model 1200E Power Unit. The ICE® 110, with its powerful 412-ton driving capacity and impressive 1600 VPM frequency, was ideal for installing a combination wall using 1-meter diameter pipes and driving sheet piles between each. This equipment not only enhances efficiency but also ensures the durability and reliability needed for such demanding applications.
A Dedicated Team Behind the Equipment
At Hydrauli-Flex, we pride ourselves on supporting the teams behind these powerful machines.

The expertise of our team plays a crucial role in delivering top-notch products that meet the specific needs of contractors like I-San Construction.
Our dedicated engineers work closely with clients, providing insights into the best hydraulic solutions for their equipment. We understand that in high-stakes environments, reliability is paramount. That’s why our team is committed to quality assurance and customer satisfaction, ensuring that every hose we manufacture can withstand the pressures of rigorous construction work.
The Economic Context
Taiwan's rapid economic development—often referred to as the “Taiwan Miracle”—has transformed the island from an agriculture-based society into a thriving industrial powerhouse. With 90% of its trade conducted via sea, the need for advanced maritime infrastructure is evident. Major shipping companies like Evergreen Marine and Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation play a vital role in facilitating this trade, reinforcing the importance of construction projects like the one undertaken by I-San Construction.
Looking Ahead
We extend our gratitude to I-San Construction Co. LTD for choosing ICE® as a partner in their port expansion project. As Taiwan continues to grow and evolve, we at Hydrauli-Flex are excited to contribute to its infrastructure development through our high-quality hydraulic hoses and equipment support.
