कंपनी की खबर X-Air 1100-25 tackles underwater reef blasting along the coast, safeguarding waterway construction.

As Typhoon Fengshen approaches the coast, its ever-changing tides and surging waves cast an unknown shadow over the complex coastal environment, giving us a clearer understanding of the many challenges facing coastal engineering construction. Today, let's step into the front lines of waterway construction to see how construction equipment overcomes these challenges and helps the project progress steadily.

Underwater blasting of reefs clears waterways

1.A port access channel project in Guangxi

In a port access channel project in Guangxi, the planned channel length is approximately 23.1 kilometers. It needs to allow 300,000-ton bulk carriers to navigate one-way at high tide with a 90% guarantee rate, while also accommodating 100,000-ton bulk carriers to navigate in both directions at the multi-year average tide level. The main work includes dredging, reef blasting, navigation aid construction, and radar station construction.

2.Underwater blasting of reefs along the coast

During waterway construction, underwater blasting is used to break up or remove underwater reefs, which can effectively improve water flow and achieve the dredging and widening of the waterway. Underwater blasting operations rely on air compressors to power specialized underwater drilling rigs to complete the drilling tasks. However, the coastal construction environment is more complex, with highly corrosive seawater, large tidal variations, and unstable weather conditions. These factors place extremely high demands on the performance and stability of air compressors.

3."One-to-two" mode of air compressor

As a long-term partner of Atlas Copco, this customer has been associated with the company since 2008 and officially joined the Atlas Copco family in 2020. To date, the customer owns a total of 26 Atlas Copco air compressors. Based on past positive experiences and equipment performance, the customer once again chose to trust Atlas Copco products for this critical task, deploying 6 XRVS 1100 and 14 X-Air 1100-25 air compressors in a "one-to-two" configuration, where one air compressor drives two drilling rigs to efficiently advance the drilling operation.

The hexagonal warrior X-Air 1100-25 helps projects overcome challenges

To cope with the complex working conditions along the coast, improve drilling efficiency, and ensure project schedule, the air compressor needed to have a high operating pressure of over 20 bar and a large air volume of over 25 m³/min. During construction, the Atlas Copco XRVS 1100 and X-Air 1100-25 models operated stably, and their high efficiency, energy saving, and environmental performance fully met the customer's needs：

1.A comprehensive after-sales service system provides a reliable guarantee for the continuous progress of the project;

2.The equipment meets the National IV emission standard and complies with the customer's stringent requirements for air pollution prevention and control；

3.Equipped with a one-button switching function for dual pressure, it is easy to flexibly adjust construction parameters according to rock strata conditions and improve drilling efficiency.

Among them, the X-Air 1100-25 air compressor, with its comprehensive performance, became a powerful piece of equipment for the smooth progress of the project：

1. High-performance output

Rated working pressure 18/25 bar, exhaust volume 30.8/27.8 m³/min, easily meeting the high requirements of underwater blasting for air pressure and air volume;

2. Intelligent Energy-Saving Control

Equipped with the "Fuel-Saving Expert" and "Energy-Saving Expert" systems, it intelligently adjusts the operating status; combined with the Xc2003 intelligent controller, it enables convenient operation and one-button pressure switching, balancing efficiency and energy consumption;

3. Environmentally Friendly and Reliable Power

Utilizing a National IV emission standard engine jointly developed with the engine manufacturer, it combines strong power with excellent fuel economy, low maintenance costs, compliant emissions, and reliable operation;
4. User-Friendly Design

Optional electronic thermostatic valve effectively prevents freezing at low temperatures; 500-hour maintenance cycle and centralized sewage discharge design further simplify maintenance procedures and reduce total lifecycle maintenance costs.

In complex coastal conditions, Atlas Copco once again demonstrated its capabilities in major engineering projects. Moving forward, we will continue to provide reliable power solutions to help more customers overcome challenges.
