Tornado Global Hydrovacs Announces Strategic Alliances with Jianghuai Yangtian of Chuzhou and Haotian Keda of Daqing, China

CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tornado Global Hydrovacs Ltd. (TSX-V: TGH) (“Tornado”, “Tornado Canada” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary Tornado Global Hydrovacs (Beijing) Ltd. (“Tornado China”) has entered into a five (5) year strategic partnership agreement with Anhui Jianghuai Yangtian Automobile Co., Ltd. (“Jianghuai Yangtian”) to manufacture Tornado’s line-up of hydrovac trucks, which have been customized to satisfy all the Chinese regulatory requirements, for sale and operation in China.

Tornado is also pleased to announce that Tornado China executed a strategic partnership agreement with Daqing Haotian Xinda Technology Ltd. (“HTXD”) for an initial term of one (1) year to assist Tornado China with developing a client base in the excavation market in Heilongjiang Province of China. 

Hydrovac trucks use high pressure water to pulverize soil and turn it into mud, and then vacuum up the resulting mud into its tank. Hydrovac excavation is a valuable excavation technique, in large part because it can safely excavate around underground utilities such as gas and utility lines without damaging them. As such, this equipment is frequently used in the oil and gas production industry, the pipeline industry, and by municipalities to safely expose underground utilities for repair. Tornado anticipates the unique features of Tornado’s line-up of hydrovac trucks and its track record of effectiveness should generate great demand for its hydrovacs in part as a result of its hot water features that make excavation in winter far more economic and safe.

“Tornado Hydrovac is just what we need,” stated Li Wei, the General Manager of Haotian Keda. “In a very short time, Tornado’s hydrovac truck has solved excavation problems that have annoyed me for many years. It is amazing! Tornado’s hydrovac truck has exceeded expectations by providing safe operating techniques at a lower cost than the current alternatives. One demonstration recently conducted, resulted in the hydrovac safely excavating a broken water pipeline to restore the water supply. The water pipeline had been leaking approximately 300 tons (300,000 litres) of water per day for over three years. The massive water line leak was left unfixed because searching for the pipeline leak with other excavation methods may have caused a bigger problem if the water line or other under-ground gas lines in the area were struck. The use of the Tornado hydrovac truck for excavation facilitated the water leak being safely and efficiently found in less than 30 minutes and allowed the repair to be completed immediately.”

Present at the ceremony held in Chuzhou to announce and formalize the alliance were Company executives from Tornado Canada and Tornado China as well as executives from Jianghiai Yangtian from Chuzhou, the owner of Haotian Keda from Daqing, Chuzhou City’s Mayor, Chairman of Local Congress, the Director of the Commission of Economy and Information, the Nanqiao District’s Party Secretary and the Governor and Director of the Commission of Economy and Information.

“Going forward Tornado’s hydrovacs products will be manufactured by Jianghuai Yangtian and Tornado China and Jianghuai Yangtian will work together on improvements to Tornado’s line-up of hydrovac trucks which is expected to increase the competitiveness of the products. Tornado line-up of hydrovac trucks manufactured in China will be sold in China, North America and the rest of world,” stated Sean Li, President of Tornado China.  

“We are very pleased to be chosen to manufacture Tornado’s line-up of hydrovac trucks and we expect the quality of the trucks we manufacture in China to be as good as the products manufactured in North America if not better," stated Gong Yihua, President of Jianghuai Yangtian. “Chuzhou and Nanqiao district are paying great attention to this event. China’s excavation market is growing very quickly. Safety and low cost excavation on construction sites is extremely important to the Chinese market.” Tornado and Jianghuai Yangtian’s agreement committed them to work together to solve these two challenges by introducing the Tornado line-up of hydrovac excavation trucks to the untapped Chinese market.

“Our local government will definitely support the career that benefits our nation and people and I will be glad to come to the plant again when the first unit of hydrovac truck is produced,” stated the Chairman of Chuzhou’s local Congress.
