The "guardian" of the longest highway tunnel in the northeast: the average daily inspection is nearly 90 kilometers

Tonghua, February 2 (Xinhua) -- Vehicles coming and going, passing through the Jitong (Ji'an to Tonghua) Expressway in Jilin Province, "hul" into the tunnel, and the rumbling engine sound filled every corner of the tunnel.

At night, Wang Jian, an electromechanical maintainer of the Wunufeng Tunnel of the Tonghua Branch of Jilin Expressway Group Co., Ltd., carried a toolbox and slowly walked along the maintenance road in the tunnel. Stop, turn around, and watch the vehicles roar past, drifting away.

The 7.93-kilometer-long Wunufeng Tunnel runs through the mountains and has complex natural conditions. It is the longest highway tunnel in Jilin Province and the longest tunnel in the northeast seasonal frozen area.

Wang Jian, 32, is a "guardian" of the tunnel. Managing stations and tunnels is all he does in "two points and one line". Departing every morning and evening, he spends more time in the tunnel during peak traffic on holidays. For him, every time he enters and exits the tunnel to ensure the safety of driving, it is a heavy responsibility.

On the evening of February 1, Wang Jian was on duty, and he came to the tunnel to inspect and maintain the work. He stopped in front of the firefighting equipment, and at this time, the huge air wave brought by a truck as it passed through the tunnel made him take a step back.

The Wunufeng Tunnel has a total of 319 sets of fire hydrant boxes, each of which includes a fire extinguisher box and a fire hydrant box. One of Wang Jian's jobs is to maintain fire fighting facilities. "The fire hydrant interface and the fire hose interface depend on whether there is rust or leakage, you see, there is water in the fire hydrant and it is not frozen, this is fine."

After inspecting the fire fighting facilities, Wang Jian picked up the multimeter and began to check the voltage of the monitoring distribution box, "There are a total of 221 monitoring distribution boxes in the whole tunnel, to see if these distribution boxes are faulty, and then see if the lights in the tunnel are damaged." ”

The door of a communication device is taller than a person's. Before opening the door, Wang Jian looked behind him, and there was no big car for the time being. He quickly stood still, opened the door, and pressed the door against the right side of his body, and the whole action was completed in one go. "When you open the door, you are on the edge of the maintenance road, if you don't move quickly, in case a big truck comes, it is more dangerous." Wang Jian said.

In addition to inspecting fire fighting facilities, power distribution systems, and communication systems, Wang Jian also needs to maintain the lighting system, "especially in bad weather, as well as during holidays, power distribution, and lighting should be guaranteed in an all-round way for 24 hours." ”

The Wunufeng Tunnel has a total of 10 cross-sectional tunnels and 21 pedestrian cross-sectional tunnels. In the middle part of the tunnel, in order to effectively alleviate the fatigue of the driver driving in the tunnel for a long time, a large LED point light source screen is also set up.

The entire Wunufeng Tunnel will take more than two hours to inspect. In addition to the Wunufeng Tunnel, Wang Jian is also responsible for the mechanical and electrical maintenance of the Mine Tunnel, gaotaizi tunnel and Yingbinling tunnel. At the end of the day, Wang Jian inspected the distance of nearly 90 kilometers.

Although he is a "post-90s", Wang Jian's work experience is very "senior", he has been working in the highway post for 12 years, from the Ying'ebu toll station, the Tonghua toll station to the Wunufeng tunnel management station, from the toll collector, the toll team leader to the mechanical and electrical maintenance staff... His "youth" spilled between the various posts on the highway.

"Every position has different responsibilities and missions, I think this position is also suitable for me now, I love to repair things, in fact, I am a 'technical man'." Wang Jian said with a smile.

"In the past, it took more than 2 hours to take the 303 National Highway from Tonghua to Ji'an, but after the Wunufeng Tunnel was opened, it only took 40 minutes to go from Tonghua to Ji'an." Years of work have allowed him to witness the development and change of the highway.

The work of highway tunnel guards is simple and lonely, although the three-shift work system is implemented, but a team is down for four days and four nights. In such a monotonous repetition, Wang Jian silently insisted.

"This year's New Year is still here, the management station 12 brothers and sisters are here, we make dumplings together to eat dumplings, especially lively, although the work is sometimes very hard, but a thought we earn this money, but also particularly meaningful, can ensure that more people go home for the New Year, it is very happy." Doing what you love is something meaningful. Wang Jian said.

After completing the day's work, Wang Jian returned to the dormitory of the management station and asked what method could make him immediately unload his "exhaustion"? That's a video call with his wife and children. "Daddy, Daddy." Across the screen, the two-year-old daughter called out to her father in a milky voice, making Wang Jian happy and guilty.

Many families can only "online" reunion, or for epidemic prevention and control, or for job responsibilities, or for the warmth of wanjia.

Wang Jian is just the epitome of thousands of high-speed people in Jilin Province sticking to their posts. For the safety of the drivers and passengers passing by the highway, they silently insisted day after day, year after year.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, the new year is still strong, the vehicles passing through this place are speeding by, and it may be difficult for people sitting in the car to detect, and there is an orange figure in the tunnel guarding everyone's safe passage. (End)
