en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 20, the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Oman, together with Galfar Company, co-hosted an on-site observation meeting on AI-empowered asphalt pavement construction technology. The meeting was held based on the key project of the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Oman—the Sultan Said bin Taimur Road Expansion and Renovation Project, which is of great significance to Oman's "2040 Vision." The project site demonstrated unmanned construction technology.
Seven XCMG intelligent road construction equipment units, including pavers and rollers, completed unmanned paving and compaction operations for a 12-meter-wide asphalt pavement on a desert highway site. The construction employed technologies such as cluster high-precision positioning, regional ad-hoc network communication, intelligent perception coordination, and real-time monitoring of construction operation data, providing support for construction organization and on-site management under complex working conditions.
During the event, local transportation authorities, industry clients, and mainstream media attended the observation. The official website of the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Oman and the mainstream media Muscat Daily both reported on the event, with coverage focusing on themes such as "AI-powered Paving Autonomous Asphalt Paving Technologies," which continued to spread across local media and online platforms.
In 2026, at the Road Sub-Forum of the 8th XCMG International Customer Festival, XCMG's intelligent road complete solution was in operation. An Omani partner commented: "This solution has been successfully applied in Oman's highway engineering projects, improving construction efficiency while reducing labor input and operational costs."
In 2024, during the 6th XCMG International Customer Festival, a delegation from Oman's Galfar Group visited XCMG and had in-depth exchanges with Yang Dongsheng, Chairman of XCMG Group and XCMG Machinery, focusing on observing road construction technology application scenarios, reaching multiple consensuses. Subsequently, the XCMG road technology team went to Oman for a full-line field survey of the project. During this period, XCMG conducted multiple rounds of technical exchanges with the Galfar project team and invited the Omani team to observe smart construction project sites in China. By the end of 2025, the two parties reached a cooperation agreement for seven units of unmanned equipment. In April 2026, this batch of equipment was put into regular construction at the Galfar project site.
This project is an important case of XCMG's smart construction overseas practice and a phased achievement of the coordinated advancement of XCMG's two main strategies: internationalization and technological innovation. From Oman to the world, smart construction is crossing mountains and seas, contributing more XCMG solutions to global infrastructure.
