Scottish Hydroelectric Project gets pipework done with SY215C excavator

“We are very satisfied with the (SANY) machines. Two of them have been on site here and we've dug out through fairly solid rock. We've just had a site meeting today and the supervising engineers are astonished at the progress that we've made and a lot of that is down to the actual excavators”, remarked by Patrick Bradley, managing director of Barhaul Ltd., a construction materials supplierin Perthshire, Scotland.

Barhaul has purchased the SANY’s SY215C hydraulic excavator from the contractor of SANY, TDL, to manage a hydroelectric project in Perthshire. The machines were used for trenching over a 45-degree slope, in preparation for key pipework for the hydroelectric scheme.

“WE HAVE TWO 21.5-TON SANY EXCAVATORS, AND I WOULDN’T HESITATE TO RECOMMEND THEM TO ANY CONTRACTOR”

The SANY SY215C hydraulic excavator is built to meet the demanding Stage IV / Tier 4 Final emission standards for European and North American markets. The model has an operating weight of 22,600 kg (49,824 lb) and is powered by a robust Cummins engine that produces 164 hp (122 kW) at 2000 rpm.

Beyond the performance of the excavators, Bradley also noted that the after-sales service and support they would receive were also the key factors they were considering. “We knew that if we had a problem with the excavators, the problem would be shared with TDL and SANY,” he said.

“We have two 21.5-ton SANY excavators, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any contractor,” Bradley concluded.
