Have demonstrated outstanding performance on the Butovo Rainwater Underground Pipeline Installation Project in Moscow, Russia, earning unanimous praise from both the project owner and the general contractor.
Recently, the upgrading project for the rainwater drainage network in the Butovo District of Moscow, Russia, has been progressing in an orderly manner. As a key municipal livelihood renovation project in Moscow, it involves the installation of large-diameter underground rainwater drainage pipelines with a diameter of 920 mm. The project aims to upgrade the urban drainage system across the Butovo area, rectify existing defects in regional rainwater drainage, improve the district's flood control and drainage capacity, and resolve recurring seasonal issues such as surface ponding and insufficient drainage during rainy periods. It carries great practical significance for safeguarding local residents' travel safety and improving the city's overall infrastructure carrying capacity.
Located within downtown Moscow, the pipeline installation project faces tight construction schedules and strict restrictions on ground traffic. The specifications mandate trenchless construction with no high-pressure water flushing during pipe jacking to achieve shallow buried pipeline installation, high-precision jacking, and minimal ground disturbance. In addition, launch and reception pits feature limited working space and poor soil stability, requiring strict control over ground movement. Such harsh operating conditions impose extremely high requirements on the overall performance of pipeline installation equipment and construction techniques.
After in-depth market research and extensive technical comparisons, the project contractor finally selected the BGD Series guided auger boring machine (Model BGD-235) manufactured by Tianjin Qiutian Construction Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. for the works. Developed specifically for trenchless pipeline installation in complex urban environments, the BGD-235 meets the requirements for shallow-depth and high-precision pipeline installation in urban areas. Equipped with a split-type fully hydraulic power pack, the BGD-235 boasts an extremely compact structure and allows quick disassembly and lifting. It can be smoothly lowered into confined launch pits to carry out high-precision underground pipe jacking operations. Compared with alternative equipment, the BGD Series guided auger boring machines deliver higher construction efficiency. They feature simplified operation control systems and stronger adaptability to site conditions, presenting comprehensive operational advantages that make them the contractor's preferred choice.

Following commissioning, Russian construction teams spoke highly of the BGD Series guided auger boring machines. The BGD-235 provides stable power output and precise control of jacking alignment. It can perform continuous, stable large-diameter pipe jacking in complex ground strata and confined working zones, maintaining construction efficiency while effectively cutting labour input and mitigating underground construction safety risks. Adopting a split modular design, the BGD-235 enables flexible lifting and transportation. Its hydraulic power head generates abundant torque, and when matched with standard pipe jacking procedures, it greatly shortens the pipeline construction cycle. The machine is easy to operate, runs smoothly, and achieves low failure rates under complex urban working conditions. Its excellent field performance has won the full confidence of the Russian construction team.
To date, three construction sections of the Moscow Butovo Rainwater Pipeline Project have been successfully completed. Construction on the remaining eight sections is advancing steadily in accordance with standard procedures. Taking local climatic characteristics and Moscow's municipal construction specifications into full consideration, the project team has optimized construction schemes, rationally arranged effective construction windows, allocated equipment and manpower, and strived to complete the whole project by August.
The pipeline installation accuracy and construction quality of all finished sections fully meet the official acceptance standards for Moscow municipal engineering. The high-standard, standardized construction results have gained full recognition and high commendation from the project owner's management. Operating under stringent working conditions typical of municipal engineering projects, the BGD Series guided auger boring machines fully demonstrate their reliable performance and dependable quality.
