Preface
At 22:31 on the evening of July 8, the gap in Dongting Lake in Tuanzhou, Huarong, Hunan Province was blocked, and it took a total of 60 hours since the plugging began at 13 o'clock on July 6, which was more than half of the time predicted by experts in 6-7 days.
The team that carried out this task, they did not wear military uniforms, they came from China Aneng Group, known as the "hydropower and iron army", and completed a number of major project construction and rescue and disaster relief tasks.
China Aneng Group was transferred from the Hydropower Force of the Armed Police
China Aneng Construction Group, formerly known as the Armed Police Hydropower Force, was transferred to a state-owned enterprise in September 2018, and its development can be traced back to 1928 at the earliest, mainly divided into three stages:
1. The stage of the water conservancy engineering unit of the People's Liberation Army: In 1928, the 14th Regiment of the Second Division of the Second Army of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was established, and in 1938, it was reorganized into the 5th Regiment of the Third Detachment of the New Fourth Army. In 1952, the 90th Infantry Division of the East China Field Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was reorganized into the First Water Conservancy Division to participate in the battle of Zhihuai in accordance with the order of the state leader.
2. Hydropower Unit of the Infrastructure Engineering Corps: In 1966, it was established as the hydropower unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Infrastructure Engineering Corps, and in 1985, it was transferred to the Armed Police Force and established the Hydropower Unit of the Armed Police.
3. Hydropower Force of the Armed Police Force: In 1999, it was assigned to the unified leadership of the Armed Police Force, and in 2009, it was incorporated into the national emergency rescue force system and built a national emergency rescue team. In 2018, according to the strategic deployment of the Party Central Committee's cross-military reform, the hydropower unit of the Armed Police Force was transferred to China Aneng Group.
In September 2018, the Hydropower Force of the Armed Police Force was transferred to China Aneng Group as a whole, which is mainly responsible for the construction of national key projects and the rescue of major natural disasters.
Six years after the transfer, a number of rescue and disaster relief tasks have been completed
China Aneng Group, with rich experience in emergency rescue and rescue, is relatively complete in terms of personnel, technology and equipment, and has participated in five major cross-century projects, including the Three Gorges Project, the South-to-North Water Diversion, the West-to-East Power Transmission, the West-East Gas Transmission Project, and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
Since it was transferred to the enterprise in 2018, it has also completed a number of rescue and disaster relief tasks.
For example, in 2023, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei flood relief and rescue, the 2021 Zhengzhou, Henan "7.20" heavy rainstorm disaster rescue, the 2020 Jiangxi Jiujiang flood relief, the 2019 Jinsha River dammed lake risk relief and other tasks, every rescue and disaster relief, can be successfully completed.
In the same way, they not only have rich experience, advanced rescue equipment, but also resolute execution ability, which ensures that the plugging task is completed ahead of schedule.
Aneng's Dongting Lake blockade and rescue situation
On the afternoon of July 5, 2024, after the dangerous situation occurred in Huarong Dongting Lake, Yueyang City, Hunan Province, China Aneng Group immediately activated the emergency response mechanism and participated in the rescue work.
According to reports, ANE Group not only urgently dispatched technical experts in the fields of engineering, hydrology, geology and other fields from all over the country to the front line to direct rescue operations, but also temporarily dispatched professional rescue forces and equipment to the front line to put in the gap plugging.
According to the on-site situation, the technical expert team proposed the plugging operation method of two-stage plugging and throwing stones on the water, and strictly implemented the continuous operation of human shutdown, which improved the work efficiency and shortened the completion time.
At the same time, the emergency intelligent patrol vanguard team was also arranged to use drones and other advanced technology and equipment to patrol the embankment and check the danger, and more keenly monitor the hidden dangers such as pipe surge and leakage.
summary
Although the employees of Aneng Group have taken off their military uniforms, they are still people-centered, maintain the indomitable spirit of the soldiers and the determination to resolutely perform the task, and are not afraid of difficulties and charge ahead, so that they can quickly complete the rescue and blockade work.
I would like to express my gratitude to them for their efforts and may they all return safely.
