ZX 200-3 – Extension of Holy Mosque, Makkah

Overview

Omar K. Alesayi & Co. Ltd., Saudi Arabia - Supplied ZX200-3, Medium Excavators to Sa’ad Al Saedi Company for the extension work of the Holy Mosque of Makkah. The project was completed late last year. Saudi government banned the use of explosives for restructuring the holy site. ZX200-3 performed all the needed modifications breaking up and excavating the historic grounds. ZX200-3 proved breaking versus blasting a success. The Holy Mosque was built in the 7th century and major expansions have continued over the last several decades. The nearly 100-acre site is the most honored place of worship for Muslims and attracts millions of worshippers throughout the year.

Comments from Dealer

It is well known the Holy Mosque expansions always involve the world’s best engineers and craftsmen. ZX200-3 was the right machine for Sa’ad Al Saedi Company to get this job done.
ZX200-3 can break and excavate the rockiest terrain, and was the obvious choice to perform the restructuring. The Hydraulic Boosting System is a primary sales point for ZX200-3. In arm roll-in and boom raise operation, excess pressurized oil goes from the boom cylinder rod side to arm cylinder bottom side, thus increasing flow rate. This results in a 20% higher arm roll-in speed.
The regenerative valve design makes this possible giving ZX200-3 the needed increased flow rate for productive operation. We were confident ZX200-3 could do the needed work for Sa’ad Al Saedi Company at this sacred landmark.

Comments from Customer

Omar K. Alesayi & Co. Ltd. has a proven track record for excellent service and equipment.
Hitachi is also very well known in Saudi Arabia. The Holy Mosque of Makkah covers an area of 400,800 square meters and the Saudi government does not allow blasting at this site. ZX200-3 is used on many projects in Saudi Arabia and has a reputation to be a great machine. ZX200-3 broke and crushed the rocky earth and old foundation. This excavator got the work done making the use of explosives unnecessary. Our operators are also familiar with ZX200-3 cover design that dissipates heat. This machine can work long shifts in extreme temperatures. During the Hajj, 4 million worshippers visit the Holy Mosque. It was our top priority the extensions be executed by reliable people and machinery. Hitachi machines are excellent, ZX200-3 and 3F Excavators are a favorite, the job is complete, and we are very satisfied.
