The south-to-north water diversion project is a major strategic project that eases the serious shortage of water resources in north China to benefit the country and people. Shijiazhuang is a water-stressed city. With the constant recession of groundwater, self-provided wells have gradually been closed and surface water has become Shijiazhuang's main water source. Gangnan and Huangbizhuang reservoirs have long been Shijiazhuang's major water source areas, their role as "water tanks" will be replaced gradually once the south-to-north water diversion is completed, Shijiazhuang will extend 25 waterworks to diverse the water from the Yangtze River, and the main channel in the central line of the project on the west third ring will be Shijiazhuang's new water source area. It is expected that Shijiazhuang's citizens will access the water from the Yangtze River far away.

The channel gate broke ground outside the west third ring in Shijiazhuang, and the south-to-north water diversion project was in full swing. In the Lot SG11 works in the Zhanggu section of the project, homemade YC20-8 excavator cut a dashing figure by its exquisiteness, flexibility and high working efficiency, thus gaining unanimous praise from the project department of the construction party. Now, YC60-8 appeared again in the south-to-north water diversion project on the west third ring in Shijiazhuang.

According to the owner, due to tight schedule, heavy task, complex geological conditions and rocky earth, it is stressful to complete the section. The construction party paid close attention to equipment operation. Meanwhile, YC60-8 hydraulic excavator has given rein to its advantages such as high efficiency and stable performance on the construction site. "According to the progress, the construction can be completed as scheduled, the machine is a worthy 'BMW' among mini excavators," the owner said frankly.
