The rock excavation work on the sea is planned as underwater process if the elevation of the rock is lower than the M.S.L.(Mean Sea Level). However, in case of West and South sea which are largely different between the rise and fall of the tide, the earth work can be performed on the ground while the work surface is exposed above the sea according to the tide cycle. Thus, it may a good substitute to make up for shortcomings of underwater construction works such as safety problems of workers, loss of efficiency and increasement of construction costs. But the difference between the height of the rock excavation surface and the water surface changed by the tide makes the exposure time of work surface, that is the possible working hours be changed. Also, it may cause the changes of construction cost. Thus, this study analyzes the economical efficiency of the construction method using the difference between the rise and fall of the tide in comparison with the construction method which is performed under the sea, and it also suggests the way to analyze the economical working hours by estimating the possible working hours on the ground. We also try to find out the application possibility of the way like the rock excavation work on the sea using the difference between rise and fall of the tide.

Norway has the geological of condition of hard bedrocks, high mountains, deep valleys and fjords. In this background many tunnels and rock caverns are developed. In this process of constructing tunnels and rock caverns Norway seems to have strong competitiveness in the construction of tunnels. In spite of high salaries to the tunnel workers, Norwegian contractors are probably producing the cheapest tunnels and rock caverns in the world. Besides benefit of hard-rock geology, Norwegian cost-saying is owing to the Norwegian excavation technique in hard rocks such as unlined pressure tunnels, air cushion chambers, underwater piercing, and reasonable contract system and organization of workers developed from the accumulated experience. Brief analytical description of them are given in this paper in order to stimulate the utilization of the underground spaces.

등표는 등화 (燈火)를 사용한 항로표지 중에서 암초나 얕은 곳의 위치를 표시하는데 설치되는 시설물로 해난사고 예방을 위한 매우 중요한 안전시설물이다. 등표는 해상의 암초에 설치되는 현장여건상 수중조사시 사고 위험성이 매우 높아 담당자가 직접 현장조사 참여에는 한계가 있으며 설계용역사에서 조사한 자료를 중심으로 작성된 설계도서에 의존하여 공사가 시행되고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 단점을 극복하고 현장여건에 적합한 성공적인 등표 설치공사 추진으로 예산을 절감하였으며 이러한 공로를 인정받아 2013년~2014년 2년 연속 기획재정부 주관 예산절감 사례에 당선되었다.
