Guangfo West Ring construction speeds up again! Recently, nearly 20 units of high-end equipment from Sunward, including rotary drilling rigs, excavators, and telescopic-boom crawler cranes, have been deployed in vigorous operation at the intercity railway vocational training section on the east side of Tanbu Station, injecting "Sunward momentum" into this key project with efficient and stable performance.

As an important transportation link for Guangzhou-Foshan integration, the construction of the Guangfo West Ring Intercity Railway has long attracted much attention. The project is an important component of the Pearl River Delta intercity rail transit network, starting at Foshan West Station and ending at Guangzhou North Station, with a total length of 47.011 kilometers. It aims to further optimize and improve the intercity transportation network of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and inject new impetus into the development of the Greater Bay Area.

The project establishes an intercity railway vocational training section at Tanbu Station to provide training and practical opportunities for relevant personnel. However, construction of the vocational training section faces many difficulties: the underground contains gravel and coarse, medium, fine, and silty sand layers, and karst strata are widely distributed, with localized risk of collapse. Especially in pile foundation engineering, pile shafts must pass through single or multiple karst caves, making the work highly difficult.

Facing these challenges, Sunward has safeguarded project construction with its rich equipment solutions and deep engineering experience. On site, nearly 20 units of equipment from Sunward, including the SWDM280, SWDM300H, and SWDM360H rotary drilling rigs, the SWTC26 telescopic-boom crawler crane, and the SWE215E excavator, were deployed as a team, working together efficiently to help the project achieve "accelerated" progress.

Among them, the most numerous, the SWDM360H rotary drilling rig, is a Sunward "star product." It adopts designs such as a reinforced power head, high-strength mast, double-boom luffing mechanism, and reinforced telescopic chassis to ensure stable and reliable construction in all aspects. The SWE215E excavator features strong power, large bucket capacity, and strong digging force, and adopts energy-saving technology for strong fuel economy.

"In the project, we used the Sunward SWDM360H rotary drilling rig. Facing complex sandy conglomerate strata, the equipment has strong power, with hole-forming efficiency 15% higher than similar models and an extremely low failure rate. What surprised us most was the response speed of after-sales service—when the equipment suddenly suffered a hydraulic failure in the early morning, the technical team quickly arrived at the site and completed emergency repairs in time, ensuring the project milestones. Their professionalism and efficiency are truly trustworthy!" the customer commented on site.

From roads, bridges, and tunnels to rail transit, Sunward has repeatedly supported key projects in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and has been deeply involved in the development of the Greater Bay Area. This cooperation on the Guangfo West Ring project once again confirms customers' high recognition of the Sunward brand. In the future, Sunward will continue to uphold the mission of "being a creator of world value in the equipment manufacturing field" and contribute more innovative solutions to infrastructure construction in the new era.
