Protective equipment to protect the city underground "scavenger"

For a city, the beautiful scenery of row upon row of tall buildings, wide and straight roads, grass and grasslands is beautiful, and the unobstructed and unobstructed rain and sewage pipes can be called the “meridians” of the city. Recently, the reporter walked into the “scavenger” workplace where the underground pipes were dredged, and recorded with a lens the pictures of the “meridians” that shed water for the city.

Drainage workers who stick to their posts for 30 years

As soon as it dawned, Gao Bo, deputy director of the Drainage Maintenance Institute of the Municipal Management Office of the Nanning Municipal Administration, began a busy and hard day's work. Gao Bo has worked in municipal drainage for nearly 30 years. Every day, he and his colleagues are busy with the maintenance of the underground drainage network. On sunny days, they have to deal with the problem of manhole cover defects. They must also mobilize machinery, equipment, and manpower to investigate the complexities of siltation and water leakage in underground drainage pipes. In the rainy season, they became the "scavenger" and "vanguard" of Nanning's internal defense.

“After the Spring Festival, we started the dredging operation of the drainage pipe network, dredged the drainage pipe, and ensured an effective drainage cross-sectional area, so as to ensure efficient drainage when the rainy season arrived, and to avoid and reduce road water accumulation.”

Recently, reporters at Wuxiang Avenue in Nanning City, along with Gao Bo and his colleagues, personally experienced the “underground work” of municipal drainage. Just after the lid was opened, a heavy smell containing hydrogen sulfide rushed into the nose, making it nauseating. “The composition of the sludge in the underground drainage pipe is very complicated. The gas produced after fermentation contains not only hydrogen sulfide but also more flammable methane, which is commonly known as 'biogas'. Therefore, we will all take the air supply and use mice. Tests and other measures shall be taken to ensure that the concentration of harmful gases in the pipe is diluted to a safe limit before it can be put into operation."

Despite the dangers, the senior vice president still wears air tight rubber waterproof suits, wearing gas masks, gloves and hard hats, and leads his colleagues to go down. In fact, Gao Bo will retire this October. As the deputy director of the Drainage Maintenance Institute, a Nanning First Generation Drainage Worker who is about to retire, he can direct at the well, but he said indifferently, “You have to take one day’s responsibility for a day's work. This is not yet. Retired."

In Wuxiang Avenue, due to the large number of nearby construction sites, many silts were washed into the wells by the rain. In the downhole, the mud is deeper than the knee, and due to the large viscosity of the mud, the construction worker's feet are difficult to move downhole. The diameter of the drainage pipe is 1.5 meters. A normal adult can only work under the well with a bent back. There is less than two cubic meters of space for people to move. Because it is in the summer of Nanning, the underground is hot and not ventilated. It is such a work environment that Gao Bo and his colleagues have to carry a heavy pumping pipe for more than 30 minutes in a row. After the work, the whole body clothes are soaked by sweat.

A beautiful and hard-working sister flower

Among the municipal workers who went down to the site, the reporter discovered two "little red flowers" - Huang Lingdan and Zhou Minqiao. Both girls look young, but they have been doing this for 10 years.

"In fact, we love beauty. When we don't normally work, we also like to buy beautiful clothes. We buy beautiful things. Girls love beautiful things." Huang Ling told reporters. It is these two beautiful girls who do some dirty and tiring work. They are optimistic. For such work, they always smile and use a "habit", and all the hard work.

Under the well, like the male colleagues, they struggled to dredge dredges and control suction pipes. They didn't care how hot they were in the well, and they didn't care that the mud stained their clothes and face. When they reached Inoue, they resumed the fun and beauty of young girls. After washing their overalls, they will use the rearview mirror on the dredging car to do their best.

Would prefer to get dirty for one person

Gao Bo said that in the past 30 days a month, he had to go down to work almost every day. He had to work two or three wells a day. He didn't even have enough time to eat. "We can sit down and eat when we are done. Satisfied."

Gao Bo their municipal engineering management office, light inspection and maintenance of drainage inspection wells nearly 20,000, the underground drainage network is more complicated, there are rain pipes, rain and sewage confluence tube, pipe diameter of nearly two meters, can be artificially unfolded In dredging operations, some small tubes need to rely on mechanical work such as high pressure water guns.

Drainage workers are ordinary members of the city and are engaged in dirty work. They repeatedly cleaned, dug and smashed the sewers one by one. They dedicate themselves silently in their ordinary work. They do their jobs day after day without complaints. It is with them that our city can be so beautiful that traffic can be safer and smoother.
