The Largest Size And Model of Rotary Drilling Rig in The World

In construction, rotary drilling RIGS are big stars. But do you know what size and model the world's largest rotary drilling rig is? Now let me introduce it to you.

1.XCMG XR1600E: This is one of the world's largest tonnage rotary drilling RIGS, with a maximum drilling diameter of 7.5 meters, as if it could create a huge hole on the ground. The maximum drilling depth reaches 190 meters, deeply rooted underground. The whole machine is 42 meters tall and weighs 520 tons. It's a giant without any problem.

2. Sunward Intelligent SWDM1280: Its maximum drilling diameter can reach 7 meters and the drilling depth exceeds 170 meters. The equipment weighs equivalent to nearly 400 small cars and has a torque as high as 1,280 KN.m. It adopts the world's first five-key coordinated reinforced large-diameter drill pipe and an advanced all-electro-hydraulic control system.

3. Working size parameters: Taking SWDM1280 as an example, when in operation, the height is 40m, the length is 16.3m, and the width is 8.78m. Such a huge size requires special planning when moving around the construction site. After all, the actions of a "big guy" need to be carried out with extra caution.

4. Key to drill pipe size: For instance, the diameter of the drill pipe of SWDM1280 is 920mm and its length is 26m. The drill pipe is like the "arm" of a rotary drilling rig. Its size and strength determine the depth that the drilling rig can reach and its working capacity.

5. Strong power system: Large rotary drilling RIGS are usually equipped with powerful power systems. For instance, the SWDM1280 is fitted with two engines each with a power output of 1130KW. Only strong power can drive the huge drill bit to rotate and achieve efficient drilling.

6. Application scenario adaptation: These large-sized models of rotary drilling RIGS are mainly used in major projects such as large bridge pile foundations and offshore wind power pile driving. For instance, in the construction of the Xihoumen Road-Rail Bridge, XCMG's XR1600E played a significant role.

These largest rotary drilling RIGS in the world, with their huge size, powerful engine and special design, have become indispensable tools for large-scale and complex engineering construction, promoting the construction of various super projects.
