"Mr. Yu, the clouds ahead are too thick and the rain is heavy. It will be dangerous to continue flying forward!"
Are you returning?" the helicopter pilot asked loudly.
"Return!"
Without asking the pilot for instructions, Yu Qingyang was ready to return.
There were dark clouds not far ahead, and the white area below the helicopter was filled with fog.
There was a thunderous sound of water coming from under the mist, all of which indicated that ahead, it was raining heavily in the deep mountains, or even heavy rain, which had already formed a flash flood.
“See? Never use the weather forecast outside the mountain to predict the weather inside the mountain!
The climate in the mountains changes greatly and is difficult to predict!
The weather forecast outside the mountains is not accurate, let alone inside the mountains.
Danger always comes when you least expect it!
If you pay attention to the accident statistics released by the country, you will find that the death and injury rate from low-altitude falls is much higher than that from high altitudes!
Do you know why?” On the way back, Yu Qingyang took the opportunity to give them safety education.
"Because everyone knows the dangers of high altitudes, so the protection is good!" Zhang Zexian was still in a down state, and Huang Wenyun answered for him.
“Yes, we all know that high altitudes are dangerous, so we don’t need to explain much, and we will consciously take precautions!
After all, no one’s life is picked up!
But the problem is, danger often comes from places you all think are safe.
Let me give you two examples.
My dad works in engineering, commonly known as a contractor, and does all kinds of work.
It can be as small as road repairs or as big as building buildings or building roads!
The most dangerous thing here is building a building and putting up mosaics on the exterior walls!
At an altitude of tens of meters, there are two ropes and a wooden board. Two plastic buckets are hung on the wooden board. People sit on the wooden board and put up mosaics at an altitude of tens of meters.
However, my dad has been doing engineering work for more than 20 years, working on exterior walls at high altitudes, and he has never had any accidents!
On the contrary, when the Quanshui City Water Conservancy Bureau was replacing the asbestos tiles on the bicycle shed, two people fell and one fell to death!
The bicycle shed is only about two meters high. If you jump directly from it, nothing will happen?
But at such a high distance, a person would fall to his death!
Also, when my dad was working on rainwater pipes, the trenches for 500 rainwater pipes were only about two meters deep!
There shouldn't be any danger for workers working at the bottom of ditches, right?
Even if the pipeline trench collapses, this little bit of soil won't kill anyone.
However, when a worker was wiping pipe tape at the bottom of the ditch with his head down, a stone fell from above and hit his brain stem.
I picked up a bag at that time, and as soon as I got on the road, it died! It was gone before it was taken to the hospital!
Therefore, you can let go of technology and construction techniques, boldly innovate, and boldly try.
But for safety, be as conservative as possible!"
"Mr. Yu is right. Accidents often happen by chance and coincidence. They can never be avoided. We can only find ways to reduce the chance of them happening!
I reviewed and found that the construction plan was too rough and there was no detailed investigation of the construction environment!
I didn’t do any on-the-spot investigation and just worked behind closed doors, which almost caused a catastrophe!" Huang Wenyun lowered his head and reflected.
Yu Qingyang smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
No one was criticized.
At this point, no need to criticize, they know they are scared.
The helicopter landed in a clearing next to the valley.
At this time, a mountain torrent also rushed out of the valley.
After nearly half a year of quarrying, the entrance section of the valley has expanded several times, and the river channel has become much gentler than before.
The rushing flood did not have the same momentum as in the deep mountains, but it was still fierce.
The big hole just dug was soon flooded.
Workers and machine operators stood on the hillside, staring blankly at the gushing water.
Fortunately, Yu Qingyang informed in time, and the mechanical operators were all veterans with good obedience, so all the mechanical equipment was evacuated to the high ground.
No property or personnel losses were caused.
This is a blessing in misfortune.
Return to the base and reorganize the construction plan.
“According to the original construction plan, although it is more advantageous in terms of cost control!
However, there are huge safety risks!
Who can guarantee that today's flash flood will not break out again?
The huge body of water in the mountain is a barrier lake. We water conservancy people all know the hidden dangers of barrier lakes!
It can be said that it is a bomb hanging over your head!
Once an earthquake or crustal movement causes the dam body of the barrier lake to collapse, not to mention the people and machinery in the valley, even the oil town more than ten kilometers away will be submerged!" Yu Qingyang took over directly and presided over the construction plan seminar.
.
As Yu Qingyang spoke, he drew the terrain of the valley and the location of the barrier lake on the whiteboard in the conference room.
“So, our first step is to add a dam downstream of the barrier lake!
Although it is difficult to do so, this dam is our lifeline!
It's like removing the fuse from the bomb above your head!" Yu Qingyang used a red marker to draw a horizontal line under the barrier lake.
The dam can serve as a protective umbrella for more than just Yu Qingyang, building a safety line for downstream construction workers.
The water retaining dam is a necessary building for every hydropower station.
You can learn about Gezhouba, Baihetan Hydropower Station, and Xiangjiaba Hydropower Station.
Our ancestors said that water is impermanent, which means that the flow of water is changeable and has no fixed form.
The flow rate and flow rate of water are also constantly changing.
This kind of change is unpredictable and obviously not suitable for generating electricity.
So there was the first dam. This dam had the function of both dam and diversion. Through the diversion gate, the water was allowed to enter the water conveyance building of the turbine according to the required flow rate and flow rate.
Of course, the dam also has a very important structure, which is the flood gate, or Yihong Road, which is used to drain excess water.
Some rivers with traffic requirements also have ship locks to facilitate the passage of passing ships.
"Mr. Yu, there is a problem. The barrier lake is deep in the mountains, and raw materials such as cement and sand cannot be transported in!
It would be too expensive to build roads into the mountains!
In addition, the life of workers in the mountains is also a problem!" Huang Wenyun stood up and expressed his opinion.
"The question you raised does exist. The first is how to transport the raw materials, and the second is how the workers live in the mountains!
If you are in China, I would suggest you install a mountain cableway to transport raw materials and concrete up the mountain.
But, in Africa, no need!
There are countless labors here that are so cheap that you can’t even imagine!
Clear a mountain road along the ridge next to the valley, and then ask locals to carry the raw materials into the mountain!
There are dozens of miles of mountain roads, and there is no problem in running back and forth twice a day!
If you carry a bag of cement into the mountains and are given 500 dirhams and a bucket of water on the way down, there will definitely be a lot of people willing to do it!”
In the currency of Ajgeria, one dinar is equal to one thousand dirhams, one dinar is equal to 3.5 yuan, and five hundred dirhams is equal to one dollar and seventy-five cents.
Transporting 10,000 tons of cement into the mountains only costs 700,000 yuan.
But building a high-mountain ropeway that is tens of kilometers long to transport cargo would cost tens of millions in China, and it would cost several times more in Africa.
"How is that possible?" Huang Wenyun shouted in surprise.
He thought that the transportation of raw materials, which was the most difficult problem, was actually solved so easily.
And it costs so little.
"If you go to the oil town and ask around, you will know that the workers there are paid 500 dirhams a day!
There is no transportation, we deliver a bucket of water, which is worth several hundred dirhams outside.
Carrying a bag of cement at a time and running twice a day is equivalent to earning two thousand dirhams!
If you carry two bags, you can earn more!
As for life, it's simpler. Just clear a stone beam nearby and build a temporary base!
I work in water conservancy, what kind of tent have I never lived in?"
"That's true!" Huang Wenyun nodded and sat down and stopped talking.
“The temporary road doesn’t need to be very wide, it just needs to be able to pass an excavator!
As for the oil required for the excavator, locals are also required to carry it!
This temporary road can be transformed into a sightseeing road after the water blocking dam is completed and people and machines are withdrawn.
Some environmental protection organizations in the province are fooling around!
Do you have any questions?" Yu Qingyang added another sentence before asking.
"there is none left!"
"No!"
"Since there is no such thing, then the Labor Department contacts the oil towns and cement factories and publishes recruitment information through them!
Time waits for no one, the excavator will start entering the mountain to open a road immediately!" Yu Qingyang decided with a wave of his hand.
"Mr. Yu, what should we do about the reservoir area outside the mountain?" Huang Wenyun thought of the construction problem of the artificial lake outside again.
"Reservoir area outside the mountains? Don't worry about it. When the rain stops in the mountains, the water outside will soon seep into the ground!
This is the Gobi Desert, a semi-sand soil that cannot hold water!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
The water overflowing from the mountains will soon seep into the ground and enter the underground water veins. Then it will be transported to the mountains through mysterious natural porters, and then emerge from the springs and flow into the barrier lake.
There is also a seepage zone below the barrier lake. The spring water flowing from the mountains and the seepage of the barrier lake form a perfect balance.
This is also the only time when there is heavy rain in the mountains, water will overflow and form a flash flood.
There is no need to adjust other construction plans. All that needs to be adjusted is the construction sequence.
The seminar ended and everyone went their separate ways.
Yu Qingyang left behind Zhang Zexian who had been silent all this time.
"What's going on? You can't bear such a small blow?"
"No, Mr. Yu, it was all my mistake, almost..."
"Now, it's useless for you to criticize me!
What you have to do is not to ask someone to criticize you, but to face the problem squarely, accept the lesson, and keep it in your heart.
Then cheer up, everyone in the project department is looking at you!
As a project manager, if you feel downcast and give up on yourself all day long, how can you let others work?
Not to mention that you will not change your mind even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, you must also have a certain level of authority. You can yell at your subordinates, and you can face your subordinates with a smile every day, but you cannot face your subordinates with your head downcast!
To be a project manager, you don't necessarily have to be very skilled, but you must be able to keep your composure and be able to withstand pressure!" Yu Qingyang did not reprimand Zhang Zexian.
With such a big project weighing on Zhang Zexian, Yu Qingyang understood how much pressure he was under.
After all, he has also worked as a project manager. I remember that when he first worked as a project manager, his cigarette consumption went from one pack a day to two packs a day.
