This Spring Festival, many power builders are still fighting on the construction site, they can not be reunited with their families, so that the construction period can be completed on time.
Qiongzhou Strait: Power workers celebrating festivals at sea
In the Qiongzhou Strait, the submarine cable laying ship is working at full capacity, and it is putting four 32 km long ultra-high voltage submarine cables to the seabed 110 meters below. This is the second project of the main network of China Southern Power Grid and the Hainan Power Grid, which will be completed and put into operation in April, at which time, Hainan Island and the mainland will realize the interconnection of two major power channels.
Huang Xianqiu, deputy manager of the Hainan Interconnection Project Department of China Southern Power Grid Ultra-High Voltage Company: After the completion and operation of the second interconnection project, the system transmission capacity of Hainan Network will be increased to 1.2 million kilowatts, which is equivalent to one-third of the maximum load of the hainan provincial power grid in 2018, greatly improving the safety and stability of the Hainan power grid and helping the construction and development of the Hainan Free Trade Zone.
The Qiongzhou Strait is wide and the sea conditions are complex, so it is quite difficult to safely lay the cable without connectors to the seabed at one time. In order to complete the project as soon as possible, the laying will be carried out as usual during the Spring Festival, and more than 300 power construction personnel will spend a tense and busy Spring Festival at sea.
Spring Festival in the tunnel at the bottom of the Yangtze River
In the river bottom tunnel next to the Jiangsu Sutong Bridge in the Yangtze River, more than 200 power builders, this Spring Festival, do not dare to stop for a moment.
Chen Kaihua, a Worker of Sutong UHV Crossing the Yangtze River: After the power cable is put down, we must connect the auxiliary system, and we must connect the official power supply before February 25.
Workers are stepping up construction on a transmission channel project in China's air pollution prevention and control action plan, and the UHV line will cross the Yangtze River through the river tunnel for the first time. In order to be put into operation before the arrival of the peak of electricity consumption in the summer and alleviate the growing pressure on electricity in the Yangtze River Delta region, workers spent the entire Spring Festival on the construction site.
Tian Hua, a worker of the Sutong UHV crossing the Yangtze River: During the Spring Festival, the brothers worked, and their mood was different.
What many homesick workers did not expect was that their wives and children came to the construction site to celebrate the New Year with them and eat Chinese New Year's Eve meal together.
Wu Simo, daughter of an electrician: (How long has it been since I saw my father?) For a long time. (Do you want to miss Dad?) Thoughts. (When do you miss Dad the most?) When you get up.
Mom Pan Hui: She does ask me every day when she gets up, what about my dad? Where's Daddy? Why haven't you come back yet? So we came and saw him.
Reporter: After watching him (work), did you understand him?
Mother Pan Hui: It's still quite understanding, especially when I watched their videos today. Will feel that their work is so professional, so demanding, think he is great.
