The hydraulic system of the Blue Whale is spread across the entire platform, and there are many various bends and joints, which is also the focus of the investigation.
Zhou Yan led several of his men and slowly advanced along the steel platform, staring at the hydraulic pipes. Especially the joints needed to be touched to see if there were any traces of leakage. If necessary, a strong light was needed.
Use a flashlight to shine some light.
The voices of various groups continued to come over the intercom, reporting on the investigation status of each section of the pipeline. Basically, everything was normal.
Zhou Yan did not dare to be careless, after all, oil leaks from fuel tanks were extremely rare, and even escaped several strict inspections without finding any problems.
Machinery and equipment are like this, and something might happen somewhere and catch you off guard.
Soon, Zhou Yan and others arrived at the first filter of the pipeline they were responsible for. This filter with a diameter of more than ten centimeters ensures the cleanliness of the hydraulic system, preventing foreign matter from entering the hydraulic system and providing a guarantee for the entire hydraulic system.
Security provides further assurance.
There was no sign of oil leakage around the filter, just a little trace of oil underneath.
"Director Zhou, is this going to be a problem?" The worker who spoke had hope in his eyes.
Zhou Yan laughed. He knew what the workers were thinking. Ever since Han Dongdong was commended for discovering oil leakage in the fuel tank, all the workers were eager to have such a good thing happen to them. This hydraulic system inspection required
Running up and down the platform is very hard, but it also attracts these people.
"This kind of oil stain is usually caused by residual hydraulic oil dripping when the filter is replaced. Your seriousness needs to be commended, but it also needs to be noted that not all places with oil stains may leak. You must think of these oil stains.
Causes!"
"We know!" There was still a trace of regret in the workers' voices.
The pipeline in front of me ended at the end of the corridor, and then went straight up, directly over the two-story platform to the drilling platform more than ten meters high.
Looking at the iron climbing ladder that was only a few dozen centimeters wide in front of him, Zhou Yan immediately climbed up the ladder without saying a word, carefully checking the pipes as he climbed, not daring to miss any trace.
After climbing up to the high drilling platform, you can see that there is only a narrow channel hanging in mid-air next to the hydraulic pipeline, like a plank road on the edge of a cliff. Looking down, it stands in the sky, plus the height of the Blue Whale itself.
, the body was swaying a little in the breeze.
Zhou Yan grabbed the railing beside him and moved forward step by step. This route was designed by him. It didn't seem that dangerous on the drawing, but when he actually stood on it, his heart still kept beating.
The few workers at the back were not much better. Although they often worked at heights, their safety facilities were still very complete at that time, and everyone felt confident.
Now, they are here for inspection. In addition to life jackets and helmets, no one will be wearing safety ropes. After all, these roads are safe.
Zhou Yan can guarantee this. All safety designs have been calculated and can absolutely guarantee safety. The aerial corridors are built based on high-quality channel steel. This corridor is enough to withstand a load of several tons.
, even if the entire inspection team stands on it, nothing will go wrong.
Just designing and building it is one thing, but actually setting foot on it for work is another thing, especially the hollow design made to prevent corrosion caused by water accumulation. You can see at a glance a distance of more than ten meters above your feet.
Fortunately, this section of the pipeline does not have any branches or joints, which makes everyone's task a little easier, but they are just a little bit psychologically worrying.
After quickly checking this section of the passage, Zhou Yan leaned on the platform at the end and calmed his racing heart a little. Not everyone can adapt to this high-altitude work.
"Let's continue the inspection!" Zhou Yan let out a long sigh.
Although each team was only allocated about 500 meters of hydraulic pipeline, it was not an easy task to navigate the complex equipment structure of the Blue Whale.
In particular, some pipelines need to pass through other pipelines and structures, and even narrow places may not exceed ten centimeters. Some pipelines are hidden under large pipelines and are tightly blocked, requiring inspection personnel to lie on the ground.
Look up and look up from the corridor, or in some places you even need to get in carefully to check.
Even though these pipes are brand new, production has not started on the Blue Whale yet. After a while, everyone's work clothes looked like they had just been dug out of the garbage dump, and their faces and hands were covered with them.
Various gray stains.
Zhou Yan inadvertently wiped the sweat from his forehead, leaving a clear mark immediately, which aroused the secret laughter of the inspection workers. However, facing this leader, none of them dared to laugh out loud, but Zhou Yan
I noticed that there seemed to be something wrong, and couldn't help but laugh at myself: "It seems that if there is a performance today, there is no need to put on special makeup!"
Zhou Yan's approachability made the workers feel much more relaxed. After all, with a serious leader watching over him, no one's mood would get any better.
After more than two hours of careful inspection, no one found any problems. However, Zhou Yan and Yang Zongxian warned everyone not to relax their vigilance and to inspect carefully, not to miss any joint or miss a meter.
pipeline.
"Half of the route is about to be completed!" Near noon, Zhou Yan stood on the elevated platform and looked at the sea in the distance. The wide ocean was so fascinating and contained countless wealth. Under their feet,
The Blue Whale is an important tool for mining this wealth, and its safety and stability must be ensured.
"Let's go to the restaurant to eat first! We'll check the remaining pipelines after we finish eating!" Zhou Yan immediately connected Yang Zongxian's intercom, "Squad leader Yang, how is the situation at the power station now?"
"Reporting to Director Zhou, everything is normal, the pressure is stable, and no special circumstances were found!"
"What are the results of each team's investigation?"
"There are no problems for the time being. There are only slight leaks in two joints, which have been resolved!" Apparently some previously hidden minor problems were exposed under the pressure of several hundred kilograms. Fortunately, the problems were not major.
Zhou Yan and Yang Zongxian are still very satisfied with this result. After all, one is the designer and the other is the installer of this system. No problems are the best results.
"How is the progress of everyone's investigation now?" Zhou Yan looked at the remaining pipelines. There was still a long distance that had not been inspected. He didn't know how the other teams were doing.
"I asked just now. About half of the pipe network has not been checked!"
The progress is indeed very slow, which is a good thing. At least everyone is very cautious and careful about this matter.
"Very good, let everyone withdraw and eat first, and then check the remaining pipelines after they are full!"
It was obvious that this work could not be completed in a short time. The emperor had no shortage of hungry soldiers, and everyone who climbed up and down was indeed a little hungry.
