NEOM, Saudi Arabia, July 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NEOM, Saudi Arabia, the world's largest integrated
development project, has successfully completed construction phases
of its underground parking and light rail systems ahead of schedule
in July 2024. Assisted by ten
high-capacity rotary drilling rigs from XCMG
Machinery (SHE:000425, "XCMG"), the project achieved
remarkable daily progress by completing three piles per day per
drilling rig.
NEOM's recent completion marks a significant milestone in the
construction of its ambitious zero-carbon city initiative led by
the Saudi Arabia government. The
underground parking and light rail are integral components designed
to bolster NEOM's commitment to leading-edge sustainable
transportation solutions. This phase was expedited thanks to the
efficiency brought by XCMG's rotary drilling rigs, which managed
deep foundation work even in challenging sandy geologies.
The XCMG rotary drilling rigs, 4 units of XR500E, 2 units each
of XR600E, XR320D and XR400D, demonstrated exceptional capability
by handling pile foundations ranging from 60-90 meters deep and
2-2.5 meters. The XR600E is the largest tonnage drilling rig that
has been deployed in the construction of NEOM city, also the
largest model to export from China. Despite entering the site a month later
than other machinery, these rigs completed their tasks two weeks
early, showcasing reliability and superior performance for their
speed and efficiency.
This accomplishment supports NEOM's goal of building a city with
zero carbon emissions and sustainable energy use. Currently
employing over 140,000 construction workers on-site for
this mega project since its inception in 2017, NEOM continues
to push boundaries with cutting-edge technology implementations
across all facets of urban development.
XCMG has equipped these large-tonnage rotary drilling machines
with powerful turbocharged engines for optimal power matching and
high efficiency. The machines are capable of multi-pump
coordination that ensures the smooth compound actions. Its large
torque power heads provide strong rock entry capabilities, making
them ideal for major infrastructure projects, including high-rise
buildings, high-speed railways, and large bridges over rivers or
seas.
By integrating advanced technologies with strategic planning
efforts within projects like those seen at NEOM City, where both
sustainability goals meet state-of-the-art infrastructure needs,
XCMG supports not only economic growth but also environmental
stewardship on a grand scale.
Looking forward, XCMG remains committed to leveraging product
reliability and professional service excellence within global
markets.
