"Xu Gongjin" shining on the "Three Gorges Project" in Myanmar

Recently, U Myint Zaw, Minister of Electricity and Energy of Myanmar, visited the tunnel site of the Upper Yeywa Hydropower Project on the Yalay, and highly praised the high performance of the complete set of equipment for the construction of the Xugong Tunnel, ensuring the smooth progress of the project.

Helping neighbors to show their great powers

Shangyaya Hydropower Station is located in the northern part of Shan State, Myanmar. It is the national key project of Myanmar and is currently the largest hydropower project in Myanmar with the largest installed capacity. It is known as the “Three Gorges Project” in Myanmar.

The landforms of Myanmar's mountains and rivers are relatively rich, ranging from the Kaijiabo Peak (5,881 meters above sea level) in the north to the Great Plains in the south, with a drop of nearly 6,000 meters. Such a large topographical gap has created a number of large rivers with abundant water resources, but The development and utilization of water energy resources has become less and has become the crux of economic growth. With the construction of a batch of power plant projects with a total installed capacity of 2,000 megawatts in Myanmar, Myanmar will continue to develop in the future.

The total installed capacity of the project is 280 MW, including a 90-meter-high concrete gravity dam. The dam crest is 243 m long. A gate-controlled spillway is installed in the middle of the dam, and the discharge capacity is 8900 m3/s. In addition, it includes a 280 MW left-bank open-air power plant, which is diverted from the reservoir by two power inlets and two 10 m diameter diversion tunnels. The project has a construction period of 5 years and is scheduled to be completed and put into production by the end of 2019.

Green development contributes to Xugong's strength

The Xugong three-arm rock drilling rig and concrete shotcrete vehicle involved in the construction have mainly undertaken the large-section tunneling construction and wet spraying operations in the project since the second half of last year. Up to now, the two tunnels have reached more than 300 meters, and XCMG products have once again conquered the owners with excellent comprehensive product strength, high efficiency and stable performance. For the overseas market, Xugong organized a professional team to analyze the data of the project conditions and formulate detailed construction solutions. And through the on-site professional maintenance personnel, adequate spare parts supply and full-service nanny service, the project will be “double insurance” for the steady advancement of the project.

As the industry's leading provider of tunnel and underground space complete sets of equipment, Xugong will continue to intensively cultivate, optimize and upgrade, practice the product concept of “leading technology, not destroying, making crafts”, using the heart and effort, with hard force, with “ The continuous improvement of the “One Belt, One Road” construction will help the country's infrastructure construction and sustainable development along the line to contribute to the world and make the world a better place!
