Beijing, China (August 18, 2010) /ChinaNewswire.com/ — China International Water and Electric Corp. has awarded Wirtgen China a contract, worth CNY 20 million, for 24 Hamm Single Drum Compactors to be used on the construction of the dam complex at Upper Atbara in Sudan.

The dam complex project is located in eastern Sudan and has a total contract value of USD838 million. The project is financed by the government of the Sudan, and the engineering and construction of the complex is scheduled to last about 6 years. This is the largest single project contracted to Chinese companies in Sudan at the moment.

The project is composed of two dams. The main functions of which are irrigation, water supply, and power generation. After completion of the project, the dam complex will form a reservoir storage capacity of about 3 billion cubic meters. It will irrigate an area of about 500,000 hectares, and 7 million people will benefit from the irrigation. It will also provide drinking water for 3 million people. Its power generation capacity will supply 1 million people.

The contract is for the following equipment: Nine units of Hamm compactor type 3520 with an operating weight of 20 tons; nine units of Hamm compactor type 3520 P (Padfood shells) with an operating weight of 20 tons; and six units of Hamm compactor type 3412 with an operating weight of 12 tons.

China International Water and Electric Corp. (CWE), a wholly-owned subsidiary company of China Three Gorges Corp. (CTGPC), has been practicing water resource and hydropower engineering for 54 years. The company has the reputation of being one of the first few state-owned corporations approved since the 1980s by the China State Council to undertake international contracting projects. Over the years, CWE has been the backbone of Chinese companies engaged in overseas engineering and construction. By the end of June, 2009, it had completed over 700 international contracts in more than 60 countries and regions, with a total contract value exceeding USD7.5 billion; thus contributing tremendously to the Chinese enterprises' "Going Global" strategy.

Beijing, China (August 03, 2010) /ChinaNewswire.com/ — On June 28th, 2010, after being closed for 53 days, the southern half of the Tongguan to Xian section of the Lianhuo Expressway improvement and widening project was reopened with four lanes in two directions. This is the first expressway in China which has been improved and widened on large scale using Green Mix foamed bitumen cold recycling technology from Wirtgen. As the existing pavement material was reused as efficiently as possible, the cost saving was around CNY 28,000,000. This provides a reference example for highway overhaul, improvement and widening in Shanxi province with clear economic efficiency and environment benefits from this project.

A traditional pavement overhaul focuses mainly on substitution and strengthening. Substitution results in higher costs, longer time duration, and a more complex project. A large quantity of milled material would not be reused properly, resulting in waste and pollution. Strengthening has the drawbacks that pavement bearing capacity can not be meaningfully increased and pavement defects can not be effectively eliminated. With the advent of the 21st century, many high-class roads need to be maintained and repaired or improved — around 12% of pavement needs to be overhauled every year – and this requires a total quantity of around 2,200,000 tons of existing pavement material. Recycling of this material and reusing it in new construction and repair of pavement, will be not only be environmentally friendly, but will also result in major cost savings. Especially in western area of the country, reusing large quantity of existing pavement material, will reduce pollution, conserve water and soil, and allow the building of more roads with less investment. So, it has very important effect.

Recently Wirtgen's Green Mix foamed bitumen technology has become more and more popular, both in China and abroad. It provides a new method for modernized cost effective repair and maintenance of roads. "Individual study of foamed bitumen cold recycling" was supported by technology finance from Ministry of Finance, and was declared to be a technology development project for Shaanxi province. When this study is finished, the annual cost saving on material through recycling will be CNY1.500 billion.

In foamed bitumen technology water is injected into hot bitumen, making it expand and become bitumen foam. The foam will settle down after a short time. The foam bitumen becomes millions of tiny particles spread over fine material and forms a slurry. After mixing and compaction, it will bind the coarse particles and make the pavement course stable. Compared to traditional methods, the advantages of foamed bitumen technology include: long time storage of mix, higher shear strength, and less sensitivity of the mix to water.

With regard to energy saving, Green Mix foamed bitumen has a number of very strong points. According to Mr. Li Jingde, in traditional design, bitumen content of the asphalt base course is 3.4%, and for the binder course it is 4.4%. When using foamed bitumen, existing material will be reused extensively, saving crushed stone. When paving on hard shoulders, it replaces binder and base courses with a bitumen content of only 2.1%. This equates to saving half of the bitumen. He says the detailed calculations are as follows: "The cost of 12 cm base course is CNY 98/m², the cost of 6 cm binder course is CNY 61/m², resulting in a total cost of both courses together of CNY159/m². The cost of 18 cm foamed bitumen course is only CNY76/m². So, replacing the base and binder courses with foamed bitumen mix gives a cost saving of CNY 83/m². That is CNY 259,790 cost saving per kilometer. The total foamed bitumen recycled material in Xsitong expressway project is about 61,800 m³, and gives a total cost saving of around CNY28,000,000. It really makes waste profitable." Further more, foamed bitumen recycling requires less labor and investment in machines. It cures naturally and this can be finished within two days in thesummer time. In comparison the traditional water spreading curing method needs seven days.

As a new road technology, foamed bitumen recycling has been tested and applied throughout the country. But, for expressway improvement and widening like Xitong expressway project, there is no experience or reference data. Xitong expressway improvement and widening is the first project in China to use this design and construction and to benefit from major savings in cost material and emissions.
