The 85-mile Pinglu Canal is a major infrastructure project in China. China Communications Construction Company Limited (“CCCC”), one of the largest construction companies in the world, is responsible for the construction of this Class I inland waterway canal, which is estimated to cost 72.7 billion yuan ($10.3 billion Euro). Located in Guangxi Province, it starts at the Xijin Reservoir in Hengzhou and ends at Luwu Town in Lingshan County. Once completed, the canal will connect the Xijiang River with international ports in the Beibu Gulf. In addition to providing navigation for 5,000-ton ships, it will also serve water supply, irrigation, flood control and aquatic ecosystem improvement purposes, linking China's southwestern regions by maritime route.
Steel-reinforced concrete for hard conditions
For the construction of two upstream shipping hubs – the Qishi shipping hub and the Madao shipping hub – four BHS twin-shaft batch mixers of type DKX 7.00 were used in each project. Two twin-shaft batch mixers of type DKX 4.00 provide additional mixing capacity.
Chosen for their high output performance, the DKX mixers of type 7.00 can produce 7 m³ of dry concrete including RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) per batch to meet the specific concrete requirements of the project. In addition to the significant forces generated by ship traffic and canal regulation, concrete components that are remain in constant contact with water are experience continuous stress. The mixing technology of BHS-Sonthofen ensures the highest mixing quality of RCC and dry concrete, which is crucial for these projects. Overall, the mixers for the Qishi and Madao hubs will supply approximately 7 million square meters of building materials.
The order comes as a result of CCCC's positive past experience with mixing technology from BHS-Sonthofen. Following successful commissioning, the mixers are already in operation.
