"Not good! The transformer is about to fall!"
At 19:30 on July 7, 2020, the Flood Control Office of Beigang Town, Tongcheng County, Hubei Province received a report from the "Hekuen Inspector": Due to the surge in the water level of the Beigang River and the water flow eroded the foundation, the 10KⅤ transmission transformer pole located 100 meters from the Beigang River bridgehead in the commercial area of the town tilted 70 degrees, and requested reinforcements!
Beigang River is about 50 meters wide, and there are more than a hundred power poles on both sides of the river bank. The 10KV217# transformer poles are one of them. The poles are 16 meters high and stand between the river bank and the high-rise buildings of residents. Once it falls into a residential area, people will definitely fall down and hurt. If it falls into the river, it will definitely produce a "domino" reaction, which will cause a blockage of the river and floods. The voltage transmission and transformation of
10KV dedicated line North 217# is also under the jurisdiction of Beigang Power Supply Station in Tongcheng County, Hubei Province. It passes through the old city of the town and along the banks of Beigang River and Nangang River to the south. It covers nearly 10 administrative villages and carries the busy tasks of production and daily electricity for more than 20,000 people.
After receiving the alarm, the cadres of the Beigang Town Department who had just retreated from the Shixia Reservoir and had not had time to take a shower, dragged their exhausted bodies to the scene of the incident again.
rescue operation was launched quickly -
power supply station pulled down the power switch; the police alerted the intersections at both ends; large machinery entered the scene; stones, barbed wire, woven bags, wooden piles, bamboo and other rescue materials were transferred to the scene in an orderly manner.
Ximing Bin, member of the Standing Committee of Tongcheng County Party Committee and Director of Organization, Hu Xuming, executive vice minister of the Organization Department of the County Party Committee, Zhao Weiling, secretary of the Party Committee of Beigang Town, Hu Juan (female), deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Beigang Town and mayor Hu Juan (female), other five members of the Party Committee of Beigang Town, government agencies, power supply stations, police stations, Longmen Village "two committees" cadres, as well as other villagers and construction personnel who spontaneously participated in the rescue, a total of more than 70 people.
days dark, and car headlights are used to illuminate the site. It was raining, and everyone was facing the wind and rain. Bag packing, transporting bags, driving piles, building dikes... Cadres and the masses are united, cooperate with each other, and are busy but not confused.
Party Secretary Zhao Weiling led the men to drive piles and build dikes. Town Mayor Hu Juan led the female cadres to pack sandbags and tie the bags. In order to prevent the sandbag from being washed away by the flood, a resident removed his two large iron doors and inserted them into the torrent to use them as a block.
After more than 6 hours of joint efforts by cadres and masses, it was not until at around 1 a.m. on July 8 that the transformer pole of the 10KV dedicated line North 217# that was about to fall was re-standed and then the power supply was restored.
The gray-haired, 70-year-old man and retired teacher Hu Dingbao witnessed the joint efforts of cadres and the masses. He was deeply moved and together with his wife, he held an umbrella for the rescue workers to hide the rain and cheered.
As of the time of publication, the heavy rain in Beigang Town is still falling. In the early morning of July 8, the cadres of Beigang Town rushed to the new flood prevention battlefield...
