Project Background
The Zhongshan Expressway project in Guangdong Province passes through extensive areas of fish ponds and tidal flats. The construction site features a dense water network, extremely soft soil, and almost no natural ground bearing capacity. These conditions make it difficult for conventional construction machinery and heavy vehicles to access the site, significantly increasing construction complexity.
Construction Challenge
Due to the unstable ground conditions, traditional ground improvement methods and standard excavator-mounted equipment were not suitable. The project required a solution that could operate directly on muddy and waterlogged terrain while ensuring effective soil stabilization and construction efficiency.
Yichen Solution
To address these challenges, the contractor adopted a soil stabilization system using the Yichen Power Mixer, mounted on a floating excavator. Thanks to the floating excavator’s specialized walking system, the equipment was able to enter the sludge construction area directly and operate stably on soft ground and shallow water surfaces.
This innovative configuration allowed continuous mixing and solidification of soft soil without the need for temporary access roads or ground reinforcement, significantly improving site accessibility and operational efficiency.
Project Results
The designed soil solidification depth for the project is 2 meters, with a total treatment volume of approximately 100,000 cubic meters. Several sections have already been completed, and the newly stabilized ground has demonstrated excellent strength and stability, fully meeting project requirements.
Project Value
The successful application of the Yichen Power Mixer on a floating excavator in the Zhongshan Expressway project highlights its adaptability to complex ground conditions. The solution effectively reduced construction difficulty, minimized equipment access limitations, and provided a reliable foundation for subsequent infrastructure development.
