Headline / Chinese Company Participate In The Biggest Constructi

   Just little while ago, we had received a heart-stirring news from Kenya  office, that the T10 European standard block machine we supplied to Kenya  biggest infrastructure construction project, Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge  Railway, had finished machine installation and operation training. More  importantly, the finished concrete paving blocks had passed 50MPA pressure  testing. This project expands QGM’s reputation in African infrastructure  construction, and strengthens QGM resplendence.
   
   Chinese Company Building Kenya Biggest Infrastructure Construction Project  since 1963
   The Mombasa – Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway is the biggest infrastructure  construction project in Kenya since 1963’s independence, 480km in length  & total project amount is 3.8 billion US Dollars. The railway is  constructed by Chinese Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) & Export-Import  Bank of China supplies 90% loan to this project. After the project finished,  it will help to shorten the Mombasa Port-Nairobi’s travel time from more than  10 hours to only 4 hours, greatly improves the East African railway net,  increases the transportation capacity & push forward the integrated  construction.  
   
   Section No.5 of CRBC is responsible for expanding the Nairobi Inland  Container Depot (ICD), which is one of the most important parts with strict  design requirement, especially the interlocking pavers for container storage  should have at least 50MPA density, a quite big challenge. 
   
   European Standard T10 Block Machine Participates in Construction Project
   
   After invested the local block   market, CRBC is pleased to learned that  QGM block machines occupy a  high percentage in East African market  & Kenya biggest block factory, Bamburi Cement Ltd, has three  sets of QGM block machines, working well  since 2008. Meanwhile, two QGM European standard T10 block machines had  involved in Mombasa Port’s extension construction in 2013, which was  constructed by a Japanese company. As a result, CRBC contacted our Kenyan  sales manager immediately, informed him of project situation, and emphasized  the 50MPA block density requirement.
   
   According to the project volume and density requirement, our sales manager  recommended the latest T10 block making machine, which is a European standard  high specification machine, adopts Germany technology, manufactured in QGM  China. The main components are famous international brands, such as SIEMENS  control system, SEW motor, Italian VTOZ hydraulic system, Germany Turk  sensors & Japanese NSK bearing, which can guarantee machine’s stable  & efficient performance. More important point is dynamic and static  vibration system, which greatly increase vibration force and improve the  block density, is the guarantee to a high quality concrete product.
   
   It only took 1.5 month to finish the whole machine installation &  operation training, can produce 1000m²paving blocks per day.  According to the laboratory test, after  just 7 days’ curing, the paving blocks that made by T10 block machine already  reached 50MPA requirement. While QGM’s unique remote control i-cloud  technology system provides powerful support to the whole production line’s  efficient, continuous trouble-free running and humanized convenient machine  maintenance. 
   
   Mombasa-Nairobi Railway project is a successful profile for Chinese company  “Stepping Out” Policy. With the excellent machine and the abundant  experience, QGM will continue to provide more efficient block making  solutions for more African infrastructure construction
