Xinjiang – Tianshan Shengli Tunnel Project

Project OverviewLocation: Xinjiang, Wuwei Expressway, Tianshan Shengli TunnelAltitude: 2,700 metersTunnel Type: Two-lane highway tunnelTotal Length: 22,000 metersProject RequirementsTo ensure efficient excavation, multiple air compressors were deployed along the tunnel. The goal was to provide sufficient compressed air for rock drilling while optimizing energy consumption.Aivyter SolutionTo improve energy efficiency, Aivyter Smart Compressor AWT-10 was integrated into the air supply system at key locations.Phase 1: Pilot Tunnel to Main Tunnel (4,100m)Initial Setup: 7 × 132KW (24m³) air compressorsExcavation Progress: By 4,700m, all 7 compressors were running, powering 18 × 28 pneumatic rock drillsOptimization: SYC Portable Diesel Engine Screw Air Compressor deployed 200m from the tunnel faceResult: Only 4 compressors needed to run, achieving full air supply requirementsEnergy Savings: Reduced usage of 2 × 132KW air compressorsPhase 2: Pilot Tunnel to Main Tunnel (7,000m)Initial Setup: 7 × 132KW (24m³) air compressorsExcavation Progress: By 7,600m, all 7 compressors were running, powering 18 × 28 pneumatic rock drillsOptimization: Portable Diesel Engine Screw Air Compressor deployed 200m from the tunnel faceResult: Only 4 compressors needed to run, fully meeting excavation demandsEnergy Savings: Reduced usage of 2 × 132KW air compressorsEnergy Efficiency & Cost SavingsBy reducing 4 × 132KW compressors, the project achieved significant power savings.Estimated Annual Savings:132KW × 10 hours/day × 365 days × 4 compressors = 1,927,200 CNY/year (Based on 1 CNY per kWh)Products：✅ Aivyter SYC Series Diesel Engine Portable Screw Air CompressorAivyter’s smart air compression technology provided a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution for the Xinjiang tunnel project.
