XCMG Horizontal Directional Drilling Rig Efficiently Assists in the Construction of Xiamen Water Replenishment Project

The Xiamen Water Supply Project is currently underway.

The XCMG XZ1600F horizontal directional drilling rig, with its powerful power and precise drilling capabilities,
delivers a single drill rod in just 3 minutes, achieving an average daily drilling speed exceeding 100 meters.

With its high efficiency and stability, it has become a core tool for project advancement.

The Xiamen Xiang’an Water Supply Project is a critical infrastructure project to enhance regional water supply capacity. The construction site faces complex geological conditions, with an upper layer of loose backfill containing a large amount of building debris and a lower layer of highly fluid sand. Traditional equipment is prone to problems such as drill sticking and hole collapse, seriously impacting construction safety and efficiency.

The XCMG XZ1600F horizontal directional drilling rig utilizes 6-meter-long Φ114 high-strength drill rods, achieving an average drilling speed of just 3 minutes per rod, significantly reducing rod connection time and ensuring continuous drilling. Its intelligent system monitors torque and thrust in real time and dynamically adjusts parameters, enabling efficient performance with an average daily drilling speed of 100-150 meters, even in complex sand layers and mixed fill.

“Choosing the right equipment is crucial!” commented the project leader. “The XCMG XZ1600F not only fully adapted to complex working conditions, but even exceeded the original schedule. Operators reported sharp responsiveness, ample torque reserves, and no performance degradation during continuous operation, truly ensuring peace of mind and high efficiency.”

As urban pipeline network renewal and water conservancy projects continue to expand, construction companies are placing higher demands on equipment performance, construction schedules, and costs. Designed specifically for complex geology, the XCMG XZ1600F, equipped with a high-torque, high-speed power head, enables efficient drilling in unstable formations. Suitable for urban pipeline construction in power, communications, water conservancy, and other sectors, it has become the preferred equipment for many key projects.
