After years of dedicated focus on its global business, Zoomlion has introduced the ZOOMLION FOUNDATION: More than you care brand service solution, tailored to provide equipment, operational services, and support for major foundation construction projects worldwide.
Case Study: The foundation construction project for a new landmark in the Saudi capital
In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, construction has fully commenced on the highly anticipated Mukaab project. As the world's second indoor superstructure capable of full climate control, this cubic structure symbolizes Saudi Arabia's ambition to promote sustainable urban development.
The project is currently in the large-scale foundation construction phase, facing extremely complex geological conditions that require drilling through a total thickness of 53 meters of siltstone, limestone, and moderately weathered rock layers. On-site bore diameters range from 1.5 to 1.8 meters, with rock hardness between 80-100 MPa and pile depths from 60 to 80 meters, classifying it as a typical hard rock, deep pile project. Zoomlion's ZR420GW large-tonnage rotary drilling rig is operating with high efficiency on site.
To ensure the smooth progress of this key project, Zoomlion has implemented four major support measures.
1. Dedicated on-site service from professional engineers:
Since the project began, experienced Zoomlion service engineer Wu Xinglin has been stationed full-time at the project site, providing round-the-clock technical support to ensure the equipment remains in optimal operating condition.
2. Guidance from a construction method specialist with over 20 years of experience.
Additionally, the company's construction method specialist, Gong Jianming, who has over 20 years of construction experience, is personally on-site. He is responsible for guiding equipment operation and developing construction process plans. Based on real-time geological conditions, he optimizes the selection of drilling tools and operational parameters to achieve continuous, high-quality drilling, ensuring the precision of the pile foundation work and adherence to the project schedule.
3. Dedicated spare parts warehouse.
To maximize operational continuity, Zoomlion has set up a dedicated spare parts warehouse directly at the client's construction site, ensuring the immediate on-site availability of parts. This initiative ensures that the ZR420GW rotary drilling rig can operate 24 hours a day without interruption, providing a solid guarantee for meeting deadlines at critical project milestones.
4. Rapid response mechanism.
A dedicated task force has been established, and any unforeseen situation will be reported to senior management within 12 hours for swift decision-making.
At a recent project progress meeting organized by the client, the New Murabba Development Company, their lead representative specifically praised the performance of the Chinese team and Zoomlion's equipment: "Since the start of construction, Zoomlion's rotary drilling rig has ensured the progress of our critical operations with its extremely high uptime and stability. The professional support from the on-site service team and the rapid response for spare parts, in particular, serve as an excellent representation of the strength of Chinese manufacturing."
Today, backed by Zoomlion's professional personnel and comprehensive service system, the ZR420GW is working day and night in the Riyadh desert, laying a solid foundation for this city of the future with its powerful steel frame and intelligent core. Zoomlion continues to be deeply involved in the construction of global landmark projects through its exceptional product performance, professional technical services, and global supply capabilities, showcasing to the world the strength and responsibility of "Intelligently Manufactured in China."
