BELGRADE, Serbia, May 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In a significant development for Serbia’s natural gas infrastructure, XCMG Machinery (“XCMG”, SHE: 000425) completes a challenging section of the Danube River gas pipeline project using its high-capacity horizontal directional drilling rig, the XZ3600, together with the XMP2800 mud pump. This “power duo” overcame a 70 MPa hard soil layer in one week.

The area near the Danube River is known for its wet soil conditions and layers of hard soil interspersed with sand and pebbles, making drilling especially difficult. The need for precise navigation through the winding river path placed exceptionally high demands on both equipment performance and operational techniques.

After extensive evaluation and comparison of equipment capabilities, local customers selected XCMG’s XZ3600 horizontal directional drilling rig and XMP2800 mud pump combination for this project. Leveraging core technology and stable performance along with comprehensive operational plans enabled XCMG to efficiently address this overseas challenge in just one week.

The same XCMG horizontal directional drilling rig and mud pump combination previously set construction records in Nigeria. The XZ3600 is a large-tonnage horizontal directional drilling rig developed by It is designed for long-distance, high-difficulty terrain crossing operations. The attached XMP2800 slurry pumping station can be adjusted autonomously according to construction conditions to save on slurry usage and reduce costs.

Its previous commitments include participation in urban construction projects in Serbia and neighboring countries with various road machinery and trenchless equipment from XCMG. In particular, in the NiĊĦava district, its latest D170 bulldozer made its debut thanks to the support of foreign service engineers who made sure that it was operational exactly in the afternoon.

In Bosnia-Herzegovina, on the border with Serbia, is one of the largest new energy projects, where its wind turbine crane, the largest telescopic crane exported from China, sets its lifting record among similar models within the industry .

Beyond these achievements in Serbia are contributions to Montenegro’s first highway connecting its capital to Serbia’s northern regions via a highway, where its TBMs played a crucial role; as well as participation in mining operations for the construction of road bridges in Macedonia, Bulgaria, Hungary, among other neighboring countries, showing its range from cranes, mining machinery, graders and rotary drilling rigs, offering strong support to regional development projects in these areas.
