Ji'nan tram line worker cold night touch safety
Xinhua net Ji'nan January 13 (reporter Yuan Junbao, Xi Min) at night, the clock points to 23 when the temperature is low to nearly zero below 10 degrees Celsius, the city hustle and bustle, should be Enron to sleep, but Ji'nan bus The Tramways of the tram company have to start a boring and cold "touchwire" tour.
"33 kilometers long, 17 working sections of the power supply line, is our power supply 41 patrol line workers daily maintenance and emergency repair range, no matter what day in Ji'nan, wind, thunderstorm, frost, heavy snow, we all have to patrol the line, and the worse the weather, the more we want to go out, to the outside, to the next. One time, we found out the hidden dangers of the line, and ensured that the early bus starts at 5 o'clock every morning. Zhang Jingping, director of the power supply company of tram company, is very hardworking about the inspection work from the inspector.
the reporter followed Zhang Jingping and the inspector to the maintenance platform and climbed to the height of 5.5 meters. The inspector stood on one side of two trams, one hand on the guardrail, and one hand on the tram line. "At night, the eyes do not see clearly, so touch the wires with your hands and check whether there are any pitting or excessive wear on the surface of the tram line." Inspector Su Jianguo, a patrol inspector, said that it is common to patrol a line and wear two or three pairs of gloves.
cotton gloves worn by patrol workers are very thin. Su Jianguo asked the reporter to feel the thickness of the gloves, and then said, "gloves can not feel thick and thick enough to feel the wiring problem." In the cold weather, the thin gloves must be kept in contact with the cold wires.
"as long as we don't have the extreme cold weather like the previous days, we can all bear it, but we have been standing for a long time, the feet are numb, the hands are stiff, and the two people have to change their places, stomp their feet and warm them." Su Jianguo said.
so, day after day, year after year, the work of the inspector will not have any delay due to holidays. The existing four tramway lines in Ji'nan can meet the travel needs of nearly 150 thousand times a day, and their work ensures the passengers to travel smoothly and safely to home.
but when it comes to home, the inspector doesn't have the courage to face the cold. "The workers are drowsy every morning, and sometimes they don't meet their families day and night. Occasionally, they can go back early and are afraid to disturb their families and rest too much." Zhang Jingping said he only attended a parent's meeting of his son. Speaking of this, Zhang Jingping said he wanted to speak again.
when the vehicle toured the seven Wei Yi intersection, the inspector suddenly shouted, "stop! Back down! OK, stop! " The torch was illuminated, and there was a scratch on the original line. Zhang Jingping said serious scratches would reduce the line strength, and once the line tension was unable to withstand the line tension, the 600 volt direct current wire was very easy to break, which was a serious accident. During the talk, the workers have already taken measurements and marked them, but the scratch is not serious.
in addition to touching the lines, the inspector also has an important task to clean up the trees and branches around the tram line. If a tree branch is not cleared up in time, it will be easy to connect to the tram line and even crush the line when it is in heavy rain and snow. The tram line will be paralyzed. In 2012, there was no accident of tramway company failure due to tree branches.
Spring Festival is near, speaking of new year's dream, Zhang Jing Ping: "hope the tram business can continue to move forward, this is the heart of all our tramcars. Now, from the country to the place, we all attach great importance to urban public transport. Ji'nan has successfully built the "bus city" demonstration city, and the advantages of tram's energy saving and environmental protection are more and more obvious, which makes our workers feel that they are working hard. Ji'nan trams will also have new developments and changes in the new year, hoping to better serve the public and serve Ji'nan.
