What DIAD does
DIAD (无锡市足球一世66814(中国)工业自动化设备有限公司, Wuxi City Sijin (China) Industrial Automation Equipment Co., Ltd.) is a privately held Chinese R&D, manufacturing, and service provider of electro-hydraulic control systems, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. The company designs and builds PLC-based multi-point synchronous control hydraulic systems, non-standard/custom hydraulic systems, deep-sea underwater hydraulic electronic products, and high-pressure hydraulic jacks (including ultra-thin 70MPa-rated single-acting units), serving construction companies, engineering firms, and government infrastructure departments. Its core technology platform supports up to 32 networked pump stations with variable-frequency control and closed-loop force/position synchronization, enabling precision simultaneous jacking, leveling, and horizontal relocation of large structures including bridges, elevated roads, metro systems, and multi-story buildings. The company is a National High-Tech Enterprise (since 2020), holds ISO 9001 certification, and has contributed editorial work to Shanghai's 'Urban Bridge Overall Jacking Construction Technology Standards.' Notable reference projects include the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, Kunshan Wusong River Bridge (27,000-ton main pier, 1.8m lift—the heaviest cable-stayed bridge jacking in China), Hangzhou Qiushi Road Elevated Bridge (7-span, 8.9m total lift), Ningxia Wuzhong Hotel (13-story, 20,000+ ton building relocated 80m), Tianjin West Railway Station (2.5m lift), and the Jiaolong manned submersible program.
The company monetizes through two streams: one-time equipment sales of electro-hydraulic control systems, hydraulic jacks, and customized solutions, plus professional engineering services covering on-site jacking operations, system installation and debugging, and technical training. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting project managers and engineering procurement departments at construction firms and government infrastructure projects; pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed. Revenue is project-based and tied to large, infrequent infrastructure engagements, with all identified customers being government or state-connected enterprise buyers.
The product portfolio extends beyond civil infrastructure into deep-sea and ocean engineering applications, including hydraulic power units for the Jiaolong manned submersible and 200m-rated rescue bell systems, plus new 2025 product launches in underwater imaging (SDC 02 4K camera, 7000MSW) and lighting (SeaLED50 LED, 7000MSW, 5000+ lumens). The IP portfolio includes invention patents for a mechanical screw-type follow-up support mechanism (co-developed with construction units), ultra-high pressure balanced load device/valve, automatic self-locking hydraulic lifting cylinder, vibration cylinder with balanced pressure compensation, and an appearance design patent for a hydraulic station oil tank cover.
