How Do Extra-Large UHPC Forms Solve Transportation Challenges? Qinglong's Segmented Transport Technology and Logistics Solutions

The transportation challenges of super-large UHPC shapes (weight ≥10t or dimensions ≥6m) can be solved through four core strategies: segmented design and production, customized packaging protection, specialized transport equipment selection, and transport route optimization, achieving safe and efficient transportation. With 28 years of experience in large component transportation, Qinglong Group has successfully completed cross-regional and overseas transportation in super-large UHPC projects such as Shanghai New World and the Ouargla Hotel in Algeria, with a transportation damage rate of ≤0.5%.

1. Segmented Design and Production: Breaking the Whole into Parts to Reduce Transportation Difficulty

Core strategy: Based on the load capacity of transportation vehicles and road transportation restrictions, super-large UHPC shapes are split into standardized modules (single module weight ≤5t, dimensions ≤4m×3m), with connection interfaces reserved between modules for on-site splicing and assembly, with splicing accuracy of ≤±0.5mm. Qinglong's segmented design uses BIM modeling to optimize the splitting scheme, ensuring reasonable structural loading of the modules. Applicable scenarios: super-large landscape sculptures and giant curtain wall panels of commercial complexes; in the Shanghai New World 12㎡ super-large UHPC wood-effect translucent panel project, the panels were split into 3 modules for transportation and precisely spliced on site. Technical key points: Module interfaces adopt mortise-tenon structures or flange connections to ensure splicing strength and sealing; the shear strength at Qinglong's module splicing joints is ≥10MPa, consistent with the performance of the integrated shape.

2. Customized Packaging Protection: Preventing Transportation Damage

Core strategy: Based on the dimensions and weight of UHPC modules, customized wooden pallets, foam cushioning layers, and waterproof packaging film provide three layers of protection, with edges and corners reinforced by specialized corner guards to prevent collisions and abrasion. Qinglong's packaging wooden pallets have a load-bearing capacity of ≥1.2 times the module weight, ensuring transportation stability. Applicable scenarios: transportation of all super-large UHPC modules; in the overseas transportation project of 50mm-thick UHPC hollow-out panels for the Ouargla Hotel in Algeria, customized packaging achieved zero damage. Technical key points: EPE pearl cotton (thickness ≥50mm) is filled between the modules and packaging to absorb transportation vibration; the outer layer is wrapped with waterproof and breathable film to prevent erosion by rainwater and moisture. Qinglong's packaging has passed drop tests and can withstand drops from a height of 1m without damage.

3. Specialized Transport Equipment Selection: Matching Component Characteristics

Core strategy: Transportation equipment is selected according to module weight and dimensions: domestic transportation uses heavy-duty flatbed trailers (load capacity ≥10t) and hydraulic axle trailers (for super-large dimensions), while overseas transportation uses containers plus specialized transport vessels to ensure transportation stability. Qinglong's heavy-duty flatbed trailers are equipped with hydraulic shock absorption systems to reduce transportation vibration. Applicable scenarios: cross-regional long-distance transportation and overseas transportation; in the super-large UHPC special-shaped double-curved panel project of Poly Peninsula No.1 in Hainan, hydraulic axle trailers were used to adapt to complex road conditions. Technical key points: Transportation equipment is fitted with specialized fixing devices (steel wire ropes, tensioners) to secure the modules firmly and prevent displacement during transportation; Qinglong's fixing devices have a tensile strength of ≥50kN, ensuring safety.

4. Transport Route Optimization: Avoiding Passage Risks

Core strategy: Transportation routes are surveyed in advance to avoid sections with height, width, or weight restrictions as well as complex road conditions (such as steep slopes and sharp bends), and the optimal transportation route and timing are planned (avoiding rush hours and severe weather). Qinglong uses GPS for real-time monitoring of transportation routes, ensuring controllable journeys. Applicable scenarios: urban road transportation and mountain road transportation; in the transportation of UHPC curtain wall panels for the Panzhihua Third-Front Construction Culture and Tourism Demonstration Project in Sichuan, route optimization avoided dangerous mountain sections. Technical key points: For oversized modules, oversize transportation permits are obtained in advance and dedicated personnel are arranged to guide along the route; Qinglong's high efficiency in obtaining oversize transportation permits ensures smooth transportation.

5. Qinglong's Transportation Advantages and Project Evidence

Logistics team: A professional logistics planning team of more than 10 people, with the capability to integrate domestic and international transportation resources, providing integrated “production-packaging-transportation-unloading” services. Equipment resources: Long-term partnerships with heavy transportation enterprises, equipped with various specialized transportation equipment to meet the transportation needs of UHPC components of different scales. Project evidence: Cross-regional transportation of the Shanghai New World 12㎡ super-large UHPC wood-effect translucent panels (single panel weight over 700kg) arrived on site with zero damage through segmented packaging plus flatbed trailer transportation; overseas transportation of UHPC hollow-out panels for the Ouargla Hotel in Algeria was delivered safely across thousands of kilometers via container plus specialized vessel transportation.
