Mass Soil Mixing in East Port Said with KRD 120 MIX I Doosan DX 400
Project Overview
In East Port Said, Egypt, a major ground improvement and infrastructure project was successfully executed by Orascom Construction PLC (Lead Contractor). This successful execution utilized the Kemsolid KRD 120 MIX soil mixing attachment, supplied by Kemsolid powered by KEMROC, delivering efficient in-situ soil stabilization. The project spanned over 3 years and focused on improving the bearing capacity and uniformity of soft clay soils to support large-scale foundation and infrastructure works.
The KRD MIX soil mixing attachment, mounted on a powerful Doosan DX 400 excavator, delivered consistent performance across varying site conditions. Designed for deep and precise soil mixing, Kemsolid KRD MIX achieved an impressive mixing depth of 4 meters and producing high average rates.
Soil Mixing Technology for Reliable Foundation Stabilization
Kemsolid KRD MIX soil mixer integrates cutting-edge soil-cement mixing technology to deliver continuous, homogeneous, and high-strength soil layers. The soil mixing process enhances the mechanical properties of subsoil, providing excellent results for foundation stabilization, retaining wall construction, and flood protection systems.
By injecting and blending cement suspension directly into the ground, the KRD MIX ground stabilization attachment transforms weak clay soils into strong and durable foundation materials. This in-situ soil mixing method minimizes excavation and waste, making it an ideal solution for environmentally responsible soil improvement.
Performance and Engineering Precision
Powered by the Doosan DX 400’s 565 kW engine and supported by a single-pump hydraulic system, the KRD MIX excavator-mounted soil mixer maintained a steady oil flow of 200–350 l/min at 300–350 bar pressure. This configuration enabled uninterrupted performance and maximum mixing efficiency.
The project’s objective, to stabilize soft, displaceable clay soils, was achieved with precision. Through Mass-Soil-Mixing (MSM) technology, the system delivered a continuous soil-cement walls and blocks, ensuring slope stability and preventing lateral soil movement during deep foundation work.
Results and Benefits
The KRD MIX soil mixing attachment played a key role in improving the overall soil strength and durability of the site. Key outcomes included:
- Enhanced load-bearing capacity for foundation elements
- Minimized soil displacement and settlement.
- Increased long-term ground stability for infrastructure foundations.
- Reduced environmental impact through in-situ treatment instead of excavation.
Our client highlighted that the KRD MIX soil stabilizer simplified the construction process, cutting down on project time and operational costs while delivering a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable job site.
Conclusion
Kemsolid KRD MIX ground improvement attachment proved to be a game-changer for deep foundation and special foundation work in Egypt. Its proven performance, coupled with Kemsolid’s engineering precision, reaffirmed the system’s reliability for soil improvement, foundation stabilization, and trench-soil mixing projects worldwide.
For contractors seeking dependable ground improvement equipment for foundations, the KRD MIX excavator-mounted mixing cutter represents the next generation of soil mixing technology, ensuring stronger foundations and sustainable construction for years to come.
