BELGRADE, Serbia, May 23,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a significant advancement for
Serbia's natural gas infrastructure, XCMG Machinery ("XCMG",
SHE: 000425) completes a challenging section of the Danube River
gas pipeline project using its high-capacity horizontal directional
drilling rig, the XZ3600, paired with the XMP2800 mud pump. This
"power duo" overcame a 70MPa hard soil layer within a week.
The area near the Danube River is known for its moist soil
conditions and layers of hard soil interspersed with sand and
pebbles, making drilling especially difficult. The need for precise
navigation through the winding path of the river placed
exceptionally high demands on both equipment performance and
operational techniques.
After thorough evaluation and comparison of equipment
capabilities, local clients selected the XZ3600 horizontal
directional drilling rig and XMP2800 mud pump combination from XCMG
for this project. Leveraging core technology and stable performance
alongside comprehensive operational plans allowed XCMG to
efficiently tackle this overseas challenge within just one
week.
The same combination of XCMG's horizontal directional drilling
rig and mud pump previously set construction records in
Nigeria. The XZ3600 is a
self-developed large-tonnage horizontal directional drilling rig by
XCMG, capable of achieving maximum pullback force up to 3600kN and
maximum rotary torque of 120,000N•m. It is designed for
long-distance, high-difficulty terrain crossing operations. The
accompanying XMP2800 mud pump station can autonomously adjust
according to construction conditions to save on mud usage and
reduce costs.
Prior engagements include participation in urban construction
projects across Serbia and neighboring countries with various road
machinery and trenchless equipment from XCMG. Notably, in Nišava
District, its latest D170 bulldozer made its debut performance
thanks to support from overseas service engineers who ensured it
was operational by the exact afternoon.
In Bosnia-Herzegovina bordering
Serbia lies one of the largest new energy power projects, where its
wind turbine crane, the largest telescopic boom crane exported from
China, marking its lift record
among similar models within the industry.
Beyond these achievements in Serbia are contributions towards
Montenegro's first highway
connecting its capital to Northern Serbian regions via an
expressway, where its tunnel boring machines played crucial roles;
as well as involvement in road building bridge constructions mining
operations across Macedonia,
Bulgaria, Hungary, among other neighboring countries,
showcasing its range from cranes mining machinery, graders, and
rotary drills, providing strong support towards regional
development projects around these areas.
