At the construction site of the Pakistan Karrot project undertaken by the Seventh Bureau of China Power Construction Hydropower, the Chinese and Pakistani workers are making the final sprint to ensure the goal and task of "the first machine to generate electricity".

Abnormal heat and humidity at the construction site

In August of the previous year, the Punjab Province of Pakistan has begun to cool down into autumn, with the exception of 2021. Since mid-July, the extreme weather of night showers and scorching sun during the day has made the construction environment of the Karrot Project extremely humid and hot. Being in it is like a steamed bun in a steamer.

Temperature and project schedule

Master He Wenbing, who is working diagonally across the warehouse, joked: “It’s light to use'sauna' to describe it, but it is accurate to use'teppanyaki' to describe it. You must drink at least 2 liters of water for a day’s work. , They are all'baked' out, and there is no need to go to the toilet."

Recent civil construction tasks are mainly the pouring of cable trenches on the side slope of the plant and the lining of the side slope. Workers have to climb to work on the tens of meters high bent frame every day. The pipes, steel bars, templates, and tools are not hot from the sun. Yes, he is still strapped with a heavy double-rope safety belt, plus masks, canvas gloves, long trousers, and protective shoes. They are "fully armed" and heated up. From work to get off work, everyone is soaked in sweat and not dry. pass.

The project department sends coolness to CMB employees

It is understood that in the past two months, from sunrise to sunset, the local temperature has not fallen below 35°C, and the highest temperature can exceed 40°C. The body temperature is higher and the humidity reached about 55%. However, after the summer, the project department insists on making mung bean soup for the employees every day, deploying emergency heatstroke prevention medicines on the work surface, preparing tarps and setting up simple awnings for everyone to avoid heat stroke.

Stick to the front line of epidemic prevention

“The weather is indeed hot, but everyone’s awareness of epidemic prevention should not be loosened. While ensuring the effective implementation of epidemic prevention measures, the construction management personnel in various parts of the site should pay more attention to and care about the CMB workers and understand their needs and difficulties in a timely manner. ', everyone should overcome it more and take personal protection at all times." The project party branch secretary Kong Lingfu emphasized more than once. In order to avoid the high temperature period reasonably, the project department adopts the flexible operation method of early attendance, lunch break, and late overtime, which not only ensures the work progress, but also advances the project construction safely, healthily and smoothly.

Pakistani employees drink heat-relieving beverages

What is more worth mentioning is that Pakistan is facing the severe test of a new round of "Delta" virus epidemic. Although the project department is increasingly stricter on inspections and penalties for violations of whether individuals wear masks, the on-site CMB employees all expressed their understanding, and instead of complaining, they expressed gratitude to the project department for regularly sending coolers, heatstroke prevention and epidemic prevention knowledge. After receiving the drink, Mashroof Hussain, a local employee, drank it and said: “For your own safety, no matter how hot, everyone did not take off the mask and consciously took care of personal protection. Moreover, the project department will regularly send'cooling water' every day! China Power Construction ,it is good!"

The Karot Hydropower Project is the first hydropower investment project in China-Pakistan cooperation in the Belt and Road Initiative. At present, the main civil construction of the water diversion and power generation system has been basically completed; the installation and commissioning of the intake tower gate and the two-way gate machine have been completed; the rotor of the No. 1 unit has been completed, and the upper frame welding and hoisting are being carried out. At present, in response to the severe epidemic situation, high temperature and humidity, tight construction schedule and heavy tasks, the project department adjusts resource allocation, increases the drainage capacity of the tailwater foundation pit during flood season, and adjusts the height of concrete bins and other rush measures; the other is The organization organizes the rear forces to move forward, and provides 24-hour assistance for the coordination of key line procedures on site, and the clean-up of mechanical and electrical equipment materials. It is only for "the first unit with water commissioning at the end of November" and "the first unit on December 31." With the goal of putting into production and power generation, we are struggling to sprint. Editor/Tian Zengpeng
