For Kazakhstan’s national highway project in the harsh Gobi desert environment, WALMACH provided specialized road compaction equipment including 26-ton single drum and 27-ton pneumatic tyre rollers. The solution featured advanced sand-dust protection systems and heavy-duty structures.
I. Project Background
The construction of Kazakhstan’s national highway presented exceptional challenges, requiring specialized road compaction equipment capable of performing in the harsh Gobi desert environment characterized by relentless sandstorms and extreme weather conditions.
II. Client Background
The client is a Kazakhstan state-owned enterprise established in 2002 under the Ministry of Transport. The organization maintains the largest fleet of road construction equipment in Central Asia, operating more than 3,500 units of heavy machinery.Having previously relied primarily on European and Japanese road compaction equipment for their flagship projects, K*** was seeking reliable alternatives that could deliver comparable performance while offering enhanced local support capabilities and improved operational efficiency for their expanding national highway network.
III. Client Requirements
The National Highway Construction Group needed equipment with exceptional reliability for continuous high-intensity operation, superior sand and dust protection systems, and powerful compaction capability using heavy duty road roller combinations.
IV. WALMACH Road Roller Solution
WALMACH provided the WS265HD (26-ton) single drum road roller and WP267H (26-ton) pneumatic tyre roller. As a leading road roller manufacturer, WALMACH engineered these machines with specialized features for the demanding environment：
The sand and dust protection system, featuring pre-cleaner and precision air filtration, ensured reliable operation in sandy conditions. The heavy-duty structure with reinforced components guaranteed durability, while centralized lubrication improved serviceability in remote locations.
V. Cooperation Overview
After evaluating multiple China roller manufacturers including XCMG, SANY, and Liugong, the client selected WALMACH for its demonstrated advantages in environmental protection systems, structural durability, and comprehensive localized support – making it the best road roller choice for this critical infrastructure project.
VI. Client Validation
“WALMACH’s heavy-duty rollers are the backbone of our national highway project. Their reliability and durability, demonstrated in the sandy and windy Gobi desert, are impressive. Their localized service support gives us complete peace of mind.”
