In the brilliant starry sky of China's foundation engineering field, Kongshan Heavy Industry once again shone brightly and won the 2024 "Golden Foundation Award" thanks to its advanced and efficient engineering machinery equipment and continuous technological innovation. This heavyweight award not only affirms the outstanding performance of Kongshan Heavy Industry's equipment in foundation construction, but also reflects its core role in driving the overall technological progress of the industry.

    Since its establishment in 2019, the "Golden Foundation Award" has been dedicated to improving the technical level of foundation engineering construction in China, promoting advanced construction methods, and setting industry benchmarks for high-quality foundation engineering. The award is jointly supported by the China Foundation Technology Innovation Intellectual Property Alliance, the Deep Foundation Construction Branch of the China Construction Industry Association, and the Piling Machinery Branch of the China Construction Machinery Society, and all winning projects represent the leading domestic technical and engineering levels. Each selection round attracts numerous outstanding foundation engineering projects and is highly competitive. The outstanding application of Kongshan Heavy Industry's equipment in multiple award-winning projects demonstrates its leadership position and technical strength in the industry.

Key project case: New Hefei West Railway Station Comprehensive Development and East Plaza Project

    As one of the representative projects winning the "Golden Foundation Award," the New Hefei West Railway Station Comprehensive Development and East Plaza Project features a deep foundation pit and an extremely complex surrounding environment. The east side is only 1.2 meters away from the ventilation pavilion of the operating Metro Line 3, and during construction, millimeter-level micro-deformation of the metro and national railway structures must be strictly controlled. Facing this harsh environment, the contractor selected the KS800 anchor drilling rig from Zhejiang Kongshan Heavy Industry and successfully completed the construction of micro-piles with a 500 mm diameter.

    With its outstanding construction efficiency, precise operating performance, and adaptability to complex hard rock, the Kongshan Heavy Industry KS800 anchor drilling rig ensured construction safety, quality, and schedule, and won high recognition from all parties involved in the project. The equipment's stable performance and technical advantages served as an important guarantee for the project to overcome difficulties and contributed key strength to the project winning the "Golden Foundation Award."

    The 30-meter-deep, narrow underground fertilizer tank backfill process of this project was complex, and some temporary structures could not be fully removed, making backfilling difficult. After repeated discussions among the design institute, the contractor, and external experts, an innovative technology of on-site solidification of excavated soil was adopted, combined with a fluidized solidified soil process for fertilizer tank backfilling. This not only ensured the schedule and quality but also practiced the concept of green and low-carbon construction, reducing transportation and environmental burdens. Kongshan Heavy Industry's equipment demonstrated efficient and stable performance in supporting this process, helping the project achieve a win-win outcome in both environmental protection and benefits.

    At this year's Deep Foundation Forum Conference, Lai Yibing, manager of Kongshan Heavy Industry, delivered a special report titled "Micro-Pile Construction Method and Application," providing an in-depth analysis of the innovative application of micro-piles in foundation pit support in complex environments. Micro-piles are known for their short construction cycle, low cost, and strong adaptability, and are especially suitable for urban construction and the reinforcement of old buildings, greatly improving the safety and stability of foundation pit support. Manager Lai's report attracted widespread attention from industry experts. Micro-pile technology is becoming an important transformative means in foundation engineering construction, and Kongshan Heavy Industry continues to lead technological progress in this field.
