Take Responsibility| Xianheng International Drilling and Pole All-in-One Machine Helps Hainan Electric Power Repair

Sep 16, 2024

On September 6, 2024, Typhoon Capricorn made landfall in Wenchang City, Hainan Province. Strong winds and heavy rains caused severe damage to local infrastructure, with the power system particularly severely damaged. A large number of utility poles collapsed, power outages occurred in many areas, and residents 'lives were significantly affected.
After the disaster occurred, the team of Guangzhou Xianheng Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. participated in the on-site response as soon as possible. They quickly communicated with the Hangzhou headquarters to provide feedback on the disaster situation, and coordinated the deployment of needed emergency repair equipment and power generation equipment to support the front line as soon as possible.
The pole failure caused by this typhoon is very serious. However, the traditional pole pole method mainly relies on labor and basic mechanical equipment, which has low construction efficiency and high safety risks. Especially in areas where roads are damaged and vehicles cannot enter, traditional hoisting equipment is difficult to function, and emergency repair work is progressing slowly.
In response to this situation, Xianheng quickly dispatched a drilling and pole integrated machine to travel from Hunan, span more than 1400 kilometers, and arrive in the worst-hit Wenchang area within 31 hours. At the same time, the company organized an emergency team to fly to Haikou as soon as possible to carry out on-site inspections and participate in emergency repair work.
During the rescue process, the team faced multiple challenges such as poor communication and blocked roads. Xianheng rescuers worked closely with the power grid team to carry out high-intensity operations for 10 consecutive days, completing a total of:
  • Newly erected 40 poles
  • Remove 18 broken poles
  • 41 boreholes
  • Stabilize 37 foundations of inverted rods
  • Repair 2 desks
  • Long-distance pole movement 3 bases (about 1800 meters)
  • The total mileage of transfer and construction is approximately 106 kilometers
Typhoons have a wide range of impacts and serious losses. Restoring power supply has become a key link in restoring production and life after the disaster. During this emergency repair process, the new upright pole equipment significantly improved operating efficiency and attracted widespread attention. Xinhua Agency, Wenchangrong Media Center, China Southern Power Grid, Guizhou Power Grid and other media went to the scene to conduct interviews and reports, and spoke highly of the performance of the equipment during emergency repairs.
As the emergency repair work continues to advance, infrastructure such as power supply, water supply, communications and transportation in the disaster-stricken areas in Hainan is gradually restored, and local production and living order is also being restored in an orderly manner.
Currently, relevant rescue work is still continuing. The Xianheng International team will continue to stick to the front line and provide support for power restoration in the disaster area.
