XCMG Participate in the Largest Water Project in Kenya
Swak dam, the largest comprehensive water control project under
construction in Kenya, is in rapid progress. 13 XCMG rollers are steadily
advancing for dam filling!
With the arrival of the dry season, the temperature rises rapidly, and
the construction of the dam is also more enthusiastic. As the flagship project
of Kenya's 2030 long-term development plan, Swak dam integrates water supply,
irrigation and power generation, and is pinned on the hopes of more than 3
million Kenyans.
At present, XCMG roller is participating in the dam engineering
project, which is 1.5 kilometers long and 82 meters high. The total filling
volume is about 12million square meters, equivalent to 12 The Water Cube National
Aquatics Center. Large stones and thick clay are compacted again and again,
making the dam higher every day.
With large construction area, thick filing requirements and big stone size, the construction is quite challenging. XCMG XS263S large tonnage roller overcomes each difficulty one by one with the super vibrating wheel and extreme pressure equalization. While its performance is strong, its service life is as long as 10000 hours.
In order to meet the compactness of the dam clay, XS183S roller
increases the pressure with convex roller to make the bonding more solid. The smaller
size light roller XMR083 focuses on the plasticity of the aquiclude, assisting
the high-quality construction of the dam with fine rolling.
The project party gave XCMG a ‘five-star’ praise: ‘XCMG's roller is
solid and durable with high operating rate and guaranteed construction quality.
XCMG also dispatched professional service engineers to repair and maintain
construction equipment and train local workers, effectively ensuring the
progress of the project!’
Kenya's first new railway in a century, Nairobi Expressway in the
capital, Swak dam… XCMG's road machinery set has entered Africa in batches,
demonstrating its strong market competitiveness and gaining recognition and
praise from international customers.
