Another major project in Saudi Arabia for the largest trencher on the market: the Tesmec 1875XL EVO

Tesmec has supplied another trencher model 1875XL EVO for the Master Gas System Phase III in Saudi Arabia, where it is being used for the installation of a 56’’ diameter pipeline; the machine has been recently commissioned and is currently operating on the Package 5 jobsite.

The great results of the first trenchers 1875XL EVO deployed in the MGS III have generated requirements for further units, planned for reaching the Kingdom in the next few months. For this project, the trencher configuration is set to achieve 213 cm width of cut and 200 – 205 cm depth range, in line with Aramco requirements for laying the 56-inch (142 cm diameter) gas pipeline. The Tesmec 1875XL EVO can be equipped with double or triple chain boom, allowing different trenching configurations, for trenching widths up to 84 inches (213 cm) and depths up to 24 feet (740 cm depth). The 1875XL EVO is designed to provide high productivity and cost efficiency in different ground conditions, including very hard rock. It belongs to the 160-metric-ton class and is powered by a 950 HP (709 kW) engine, enabling its use in demanding large-scale pipeline construction projects.
