The high strength of Volvo construction equipment completed the railway project in Germany
In order to complete the German railway project, Volvo has obtained the right to work with a good market image. In the harsh working environment and tight construction period, Volvo group specifically for these special machine modification, make the equipment performance better, more excellent quality.
Germany is a famous railway power in the world, and the first railway was built in 1835. But with the development of the German economy and society, the railway system has to be upgraded, the German Federal Railway (DeutscheBahn) under the auspices of the German high-speed Intercity Express (ICE) launched the construction of this line is everything in good order and well arranged, the highest speed can reach staggering 330 km / hour.
In the southern German city of Ulm, the workers of construction company ARGETunnelAlbabstieg are digging a tunnel across the plateau. The total length of the tunnel is 5.9 kilometers, the diameter is more than 9 meters, and there is a 40~50 cm thick inner wall. The tunnel is the last section of the route from Stuttgart to Ulm, and its final point will go straight to the Ulm general station at the foot of the Ulm cathedral.
In order to keep up with the tense period, the workers are digging at the speed of 15 meters a day, day and night. They are accompanied by 9 Volvo L150 loaders and 10 Volvo A30 hinges, which are responsible for loading and transporting the excavated limestone to the designated recycling sites, which will then be made into cement. If we can't achieve continuous high density work, we will delay the progress of mining. Therefore, the equipment will be transported to and fro 370 times a day. During the whole project, Volvo equipment will transport up to 3 million tons of rubble.
Volvo construction equipment dealer RobertAebiGmbH is also responsible for such a busy job. All the equipments of the company are sold to ARGE road modification, including customized tires, air filter, engine automatic cutting system, protection of the headlights, these improvements can ensure the equipment to adapt to the harsh conditions of tunnel operation, and provide additional security for workers. ARGE Mechanical Engineer EricL pfert believes that the project equipment to withstand the challenge: "with my past cooperation with Volvo building equipment experience, these new equipment improved to meet the needs of the project equipment performance and reliability, which plays an important role in our day, uninterrupted excavation work."
There is no doubt that the seamless operation of mining operations is essential to the implementation of the project schedule. To ensure this, ARGE Project Manager MathiasAbele believes that in addition to the reliability of the device itself, on-site service support is also indispensable. The ARGE therefore set up a special team to undertake the maintenance of equipment, construction equipment dealers RobertAebiGmbH Volvo engineers also prepared to meet the challenge in 20 kilometers, in addition they also specially in the field of extra arranged for a loader and card to prepare for possible period of want or need. "We can't leave any omission," says ManfredPrinz, the sales manager. "We must be ready to provide support for this harsh project at any time."
With the deepening of the mining operation, the demand for Volvo equipment is increasing. At the final stage of the project, Volvo hingkah needs 30 tons of weight and 8 kilometers of round-trip transportation on the 1% slope road, which will further challenge Volvo's cyclic operation ability. But ARGE, do not worry, they believe that Volvo will have succeeded in carrying out an assignment.
The products produced by Volvo group are famous for their safety and reliability, and are renowned in the world. Now that such a big project is still a good job, it is believed that, with the help of these high-performance machines, the German railway will be built soon.
