Underground Weighbridge: Efficient Adaptation for Space-Constrained Scenarios

 

Core adaptation to space-constrained scenarios, such as urban garbage treatment stations, weighing areas inside port container terminals, and weighing at the entrances and exits of factory workshops. It is particularly suitable for scenarios requiring high traffic fluency, where vehicles can enter and exit directly without climbing slopes.

• Advantages: Space-saving-weighing platform is flush with the ground, not affecting the overall site planning; smooth vehicle passage without climbing resistance, reducing fuel consumption and improving weighing efficiency; neat appearance, suitable for factories or urban public facilities with requirements for site aesthetics.
• Disadvantages: High foundation construction cost-needing to excavate foundation pits (usually 1-2 meters deep) with a long construction cycle (1-2 weeks); foundation pits are prone to waterlogging and dust accumulation, requiring complete drainage systems and regular cleaning and maintenance, otherwise sensors may be damaged.

Groundwater level (avoiding high-water-level areas or adding waterproof and anti-seepage layers), foundation pit drainage capacity, and site geological conditions (avoiding settlement caused by soft soil foundations).

An urban garbage treatment station with space only for single-lane traffic selected an 80-ton underground weighbridge. The waterlogging problem was solved by installing a sump and automatic drainage pump at the bottom of the foundation pit; the design of the weighing platform flush with the ground allows garbage transfer vehicles to pass without decelerating and climbing slopes. The weighing time per vehicle was reduced from 8 minutes to 2 minutes, and the daily processing capacity increased from 150 vehicles to 400 vehicles, effectively alleviating the pressure of urban garbage transfer.
