1. Project Core Challenges
This Southeast Asian archipelago island power grid upgrade covers dozens of remote small islands without municipal power grid, construction conditions featured high humidity, steep mountain trails and frequent rainy weather. Main construction headaches: No fixed AC power on remote islets, rainy damp environment easily damages ordinary electric construction machines; narrow mountain footpath limits heavy equipment transportation; scattered small-scale cable laying tasks need frequently moving machines between different construction spots. Local subcontractors previously used hand winches with extremely low construction efficiency.
2. APEX Customized Product & Service Solution
APEX selected Obeli compact portable cable puller and weather-proof optimized Jiangniu No.2 diesel feeder: Obeli lightweight puller is anti-corrosion treated for coastal salt fog & humid climate, small footprint for manpower carrying along narrow mountain paths; Jiangniu No.2 independent diesel power removes grid dependency, optimized sealing structure to prevent rainwater infiltration, IoT multi-language remote control supports local workers’ operation. Our overseas service team provided English operation manual and 24-hour cross-timezone online technical support, customized anti-rust surface treatment for all machines before factory delivery within 50 days.
3. Final Project Outcomes
Diesel+portable design fully adapted island zero-grid condition; single-shift daily cable laying length increased 3.5 times vs manual winch mode; machine breakdown rate under humid island environment controlled below 0.03% matching APEX’s factory QC standard. The local EPC contractor placed repeated order for 3 more batches of equipment after phase-one project acceptance.
