The Application of Self Loading Mixer in Transmission Line Project

 For the transmission line projects in Africa, they are of low voltage levels, long line paths, small amount of concrete and heavy seasonal influence on construction, which creates the innate conditions for the use of large-scale mechanized operations.

The Côte d’Ivoire power grid development and transformation project is located in Côte d’Ivoire in western Africa. The construction scale is: 392 kilometers of 225kV lines, 39 kilometers of new 90kV lines, 1068 tower foundations and 20,999 m3 of concrete volume.

Subject to the impacts and constraints of the country’s labor productivity, natural environment, infrastructure, etc., how to improve mechanization is very important for improving construction efficiency and reducing project costs.

In view of the engineering characteristics of this project, in addition to traditional concrete mixer, mechanized construction methods can be commercial concrete, concrete batching plant or self loading mixer.

Analysis of the Pros and Cons Of Different Types of Construction Methods

Concrete Mixer

Advantage: It is a traditional construction method, which is of small investment and strong adaptability.

Disadvantages: It is of low construction efficiency, high personnel input and high loss of raw materials. The concrete quality is not stable.

Commercial Concrete

Advantage: It is simple, efficient, flexible and convenient. The concrete quality is table.

Disadvantage: In addition to the construction sites of its capital, the commercial concrete is not available in other cities.

Concrete Batching Plant

Pros: Its concrete quality is stable, the loss of raw materials is low, the production speed is fast, the transportation volume is large and the pouring speed is fast.

Cons: It has high investment cost and troublesome relocation. It has high requirements for roads and needs stop working in rainy seasons, thus seriously affecting the construction period.

Self Loading Concrete Mixer

Pros: It is of cute body and four wheel drive, which has strong adaptability to terrain and excellent performance in rainy season. With industrial scale and strong mixing technology, the self loading mixer also has excellent mixing quality. It has self loading, weighing, mixing, transport and discharging in one, saving equipment investment.

Cons: It is especially suitable for small and medium projects since its concrete capacity is 1.8-6.5 m3 per batch. For this project, we can choose concrete batching plant and self loading mixer.

Haomei Machinery’s self loading mixer has been exported to many African countries, including Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, South Africa, Uganda,etc. Welcome to leave message below to inquire self loading concrete mixer price.
