To cool quake-ravaged systems at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors,
Japanese authorities have funneled water in from the sea, dumped it from
helicopters, shot it from fire trucks and of late had success
reestablishing pumps.
Now, they are reportedly bringing in a new weapon: A powerful Chinese-
made truck designed to shoot wet concrete several stories into the air.
A truck-mounted concrete pump manufactured by China’s Sany Group is
employed in the construction of a power plant in Arkansas. Sany says it
has sent one of its longest truck-mounted pumps to aid with containment
efforts at the quake-damaged Fukushima nuclear reactor in Japan.
Changsha-based Sany Group Co. says its 62-meter truck-mounted concrete
pump, used to build some of the world’s tallest skyscrapers, is on its
way to Fukushima at the request of Tokyo Electric Co., or Tepco. The
plan, according a statement posted on Sany’s website, is to use the
machine to pump water toward Tepco’s reactor No. 4.
A huge crane Sany built was instrumental in the rescue of Chilean miners
last year. The Chinese company also claims a role in rescuing Colombians
trapped in mud). On the domestic front, the company sent a team to the
site of Sichuan’s 2008 earthquake to help clear roads and extract
survivors from the rubble.
Sany says the truck sent to Japan, originally ordered by a Saudi client
and worth roughly $1 million, is being sent free of charge to the
nuclear plant and was requested personally by Tepco President Masataka
Shimizu. “Since the break out of Japan’s nuclear crises in Fukushima
nuclear power station, the determination and the strong will of Japanese
people have touched the whole world,” the Sany statement said.
Sany isn’t the only construction equipment maker contributing to the
radiation containment effort. Concrete pumps from Putzmeister Holding
GmbH are also working at Fukushima, according to the German company’s
website. (Putzmeister reportedly has experience from Chernobyl and
pumped concrete for the world’s tallest building). Meanwhile, U.S.
engineering giant Bechtel is reportedly flying over a remote-controlled
robotic water sprayer.
Sany’s participation, spotlighted by the Xinhua news agency Tuesday, is
the latest evidence that the quake may be improving China’s famously
prickly relations with its neighbor.
In other shows of empathy, Shanghai private equity firm Fosun Group last
week pledged to donate 5 million yuan, or roughly $760,000, through the
Chinese Red Cross on behalf of 50 nuclear plant relief workers while one
of China’s highest profile philanthropists personally traveled to Japan
to deliver cash and relief supplies.
For many outside of China, Sany might be best known for the role its
founder played in defending the Chinese construction equipment industry
as a national treasure in 2006 – and helping reorder how foreign private
equity firms operated in China. Sany billionaire Chairman Xiang Wenbo
emerged as the pied piper of a nationalistic movement that effectively
blocked Washington-based private equity firm Carlyle Group’s bid to pay
$375 million for control of Xugong Group Construction Machinery Co.
“Selling anything is fine, but selling out the country is wrong!” Mr.
Xiang declared in one of his blog postings at the time.
Any visit to Sany’s spotless factory near Changsha’s airport will reveal
widespread corporate pride in pumping up the construction industry with
equipment like the machine being sent to Japan.
Sany specializes in a construction process akin to weight lifting: Its
machines overpower gravity to push dense material high in the sky. With
high-reaching tubes, or booms, that are powered by massive pumps, Sany
equipment can direct wet concrete upwards during the construction of
skyscrapers. Its crawler cranes (made famous in the Chile mine rescue)
have also been used in the construction of Chinese nuclear power plants.
The company claims participation in some of the world’s tallest
construction projects, and according to Guinness World Records it boasts
the longest boom for a truck-mounted concrete pump: 71.535 meters, or
just over 234 feet.
If emergencies become a bigger part of Sany’s business, perhaps it
should consider putting sirens on its trucks. | t*n
