XCMG Machines Assist in Modern Construction Wonders, Completing Foundation Projects on World's Longest and Tallest Bridges

          XCMG's XRS1050 rotary drilling rig has successfully completed pile foundation work in the construction of the Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge in Wuhan, China, the longest double-deck suspension bridge,which boasts a span of 1,700 meters (1.056 miles) and the largest traffic capacity in the world.

          In addition, XCMG's complete road machinery set, including road roller, paver and milling machine, was used in the construction of the G56 Hangzhou-Ruili Expressway on the world's highest bridge, the Beipanjiang Bridge, built over a 565-meter (1,854 feet) gorge, which was recently opened to automotive traffic.

          XCMG's XRS1050 rotary drilling rig was deployed to the pile foundation construction onthe Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge, a heavy-duty and difficult mission with high technical and technological requirements. The machine is able to drill a 106-meter-deep pile every hour while facing harsh challenges of super thick clay stratum and caisson sinking as well as complex geological conditions, flood warnings, and severe weather.

          The XRS1050 rotary drilling rig adopts a specially-designed hydraulic retractable track chassis that promises stability and convenient transportation. Its Cummins engine can meet highland construction while reducing noise and emissions.

          "XCMG's construction machineries are widely used in bridge construction worldwide. The technologically advanced machines can be installed with various kinds of drilling tools to accommodate both dry and wet working environments in concrete pile drilling, making them the ideal choice for challenging tasks such as the Yangsigang Yangtze River Bridge," said Kong Qinghua, general manager of XCMG Foundation Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.

          "The story of XCMG construction machines and the Yangtze River is only a microcosm of the company's contribution to helping people move around. Our reliable machines have brought more convenient transportation while making life better for people around the world. It is XCMG's duty to hold fast to our high standards, seek innovative technology and pursue the ultimate quality," Kong said.
