The Retired Servicemen Engineering Agency which is in charge of the placement of retired servicemen has become a major construction force in the Republic of China as a result of the country's fast development. Through the expansion of its activities, the name of RSEA has become well known, both at home and abroad. Eight of the Ten Major Construction Projects are being fully or partially built by RSEA. People at the same time are gaining a better understanding and confidence in the potentiality of RSEA. It has been twenty years since the agency's establishment on May 1,1956. Through the hard working of its well organized staff, RSEA has developed from a modest beginning handling simple manpower jobs into the present-day broad scope technical construction operation; from using a few, crude machines to 4, 740 pieces of modern equipment. RSEA has been rendering its services both on the domes tic services and in several foreign countries. The operation incomes various kinds of construction work totalling more than 2,600 projects. At present, the construction cost per month reaches NT$600,000,000.
The retired servicemen engineering business began with the construction work or the East-West Cross Island Highway. The completion of this highway established the confidence and basis for RSEA. Tsengwen Reservoir completed in 1973 was the first project fully undertaken exclusively by the retired servicemen. And through the completion of this dam, they obtained the skills needed for operating modern technical construction works as well as the practical experience. More than 3,000 technicians were thus trained, as a good foundation for RSEA in undertaking contracts on the Ten Major Construction Projects. Every project is smoothly proceeding.
With the growth of its business, expansion of its organization and increase of the resources, RSEA has established various operating systems. It established the data processing center for achieving the aims of furthering scientific management. During the past ten years, RSEA renders its services to such countries and areas such as Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Diego Garcia Island, Guam, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Its outstanding performances and valued reputation are winning honors for the Republic of China.
