Ougan Super Cell Earns High Praise: A Key Contribution to Australia’s Elevated Rail Project
2024-09-20

High Praise from Australia: Setting New Standards in Load Testing

This project is an important elevated rail in Perth, Australia, designed to enhance public transport safety, create new and versatile public spaces for the community, and reduce traffic congestion. This initiative involves the removal of 13 level crossings, the construction of 7 new stations, and the addition of 5.5 kilometers of elevated track. As the first of its kind in the region, this project is both massive and technically challenging. The project's complexity required state-of-the-art technology to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the new rail system. Our Australian clients chose Ougan’s Super Cell for bi-directional static load testing, which has played a pivotal role in securing the project's success.

Our customers acknowledged it as a successful and large-scale pile testing project, highlighting its uniqueness and significance in Australia to date. For Ougan, this is not just another project—it is a testament to our commitment to delivering top-tier solutions that exceed client expectations.

Ougan Super Cell: Superior Load Testing Technology

The Ougan Super Cell is specifically designed to deliver superior performance in bi-directional static load testing. Our technology helps reduce the need for external anchor piles, cutting down on both time and costs, while increasing testing accuracy. By applying load from the center of the test pile, the Super Cell allows for the measurement of both the upward and downward capacity of the pile, providing comprehensive data with fewer resources.

In the Perth project, the Super Cell was used to test 19 piles with diameter from 900mm/2.9’ to 1500mm/4.9’ each subjected to varying levels of load to assess their performance. The ability to test both directions in one go made our solution highly efficient and effective. This technology ensures that the foundations for the elevated rail project will stand the test of time, delivering long-term reliability.

Expert Support on the Ground: Danxi’s Engineering Excellence

A project of this magnitude requires not only cutting-edge technology but also experienced technical support. Enter Danxi, one of Ougan's highly skilled engineers with a track record of over 1,000 engineering service projects across China, Macau, Mozambique, Malaysia, and other countries. Danxi’s expertise in bi-directional static load testing, low strain impact integrity testing, PDA (Pile Driving Analyzer), and CSL (Crosshole Sonic Logging) made him the perfect choice to oversee the load testing for the Perth rail project.

Danxi's hands-on support has been crucial in ensuring that the Super Cells were installed correctly and that the testing process ran smoothly. His on-site supervision and technical expertise ensured that the project stayed on track, delivering results that met—and exceeded—client expectations. Our clients praised Danxi for his commitment, knowledge, and problem-solving abilities, highlighting the importance of having experienced professionals in the field.
