An independently developed tunnel-boring machine recently rolled off the production line in Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province in the Chinese mainland. This marks the sixth such machine produced by China Railway Construction Heavy Industry Co., Ltd (CRCHI) for export to Italy.
Measuring an impressive 9.28 meters in diameter, the machine is set to play a pivotal role in constructing a high-speed railway tunnel that will connect Palermo and Catania, two major cities in Sicily.
CRCHI has incorporated several innovative technologies into the machine to ensure optimal performance under Sicily's unique geological and hydrological conditions. These advancements not only enhance the efficiency of operations but also improve the working environment for workers and make the machine more energy-efficient.
As one of the Chinese mainland's leading heavy machinery producers, CRCHI is dedicated to the research, design, and manufacturing of underground engineering and rail transit equipment. The company's commitment to quality and innovation has enabled it to export its products to over 30 countries and regions, including Italy, Türkiye, and the Republic of Korea.
This latest export underscores CRCHI's growing influence in the global infrastructure sector and its ability to meet the diverse needs of international projects.
