Major projects in Jiuzhaigou county and its vicinity were basically unaffected by the earthquake.
China News Service, Chengdu, August 11th (He Shaoqing, Yang Jun) After the earthquake of magnitude 7.0 in Jiuzhaigou, the situation of major local projects has attracted much attention. The reporter learned from many sources on the 11th that major projects in Jiuzhaigou county and its vicinity, such as Chenglan Railway, Mianjiu Expressway and 15 reservoir hydropower stations, were basically unaffected by the earthquake.
It is understood that the Chengdu-Lanzhou Railway under construction starts from Chengdu and ends in Lanzhou, passing through Maoxian County and Jiuzhaigou in Aba Prefecture. Chenglan Railway Project Department in Songpan County is only 66 kilometers away from the epicenter of the earthquake. Li Peng, chairman of the labor union of Chenglan Railway Project Department of China Railway Second Bureau, told reporters that after the earthquake, Chenglan Project Department immediately inspected the construction site, and found no other disasters except a small crack in a tunnel.
After eliminating the hidden dangers of the project, the Chengdu-Lanzhou Railway Project Department set up an earthquake relief team, and the disaster relief personnel drove the engineering vehicle to the earthquake zone overnight. "At 2 am on the 9th, we arrived at the Intercontinental Hotel Jiuzhai Paradise, which was seriously affected. An hour later, we searched and rescued a trapped person, but there was no sign of life." Li Peng introduced that the aftershock at 18: 00 on the 10th caused the road dredged by the rescue team of Chenglan Project Department to collapse again. At present, the rescue team is still trying its best to dredge the road.
Mianjiu Expressway starts from Donglin Township, Mianyang City and ends in the south of Jiuzhaigou County. It is one of the major projects under construction in Jiuzhaigou earthquake zone. "The earthquake has no great impact on Mianjiu Expressway. At present, the main project under construction is Huangtuliang Tunnel, which has just started construction." The relevant person in charge of the Emergency Office of the Sichuan Provincial Communications Department introduced that after the earthquake, the Sichuan Provincial Communications Department issued a notice on the investigation of hidden dangers of projects under construction, and all the projects under construction were fine after investigation.
Forty-eight hours after the earthquake, some people said that the water level of the river rose, or the dam broke in Changhai. "These are misjudgments and rumors. In fact, in order to prevent aftershocks and secondary disasters, we took the initiative to release water from the upstream reservoir, causing the river to rise." The relevant person in charge of the propaganda department of Jiuzhaigou County Committee said.
According to the news of Aba Water Affairs Bureau, within 12 hours after the earthquake, relevant departments set up a hidden danger investigation team. Through the investigation of hidden dangers of water conservancy and hydropower projects, the flood control safety of 15 reservoir hydropower stations in Jiuzhaigou was reviewed one by one, and all the reservoir hydropower stations have been confirmed to be safe.
In addition, the Jiuzhaigou county government issued a notice saying that the relevant parties have closely monitored the water levels of the Haizi in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, and the water regime changes are under supervision.
"At present, after the first round of investigation, major projects have been confirmed to be safe. Of course, our emergency headquarters is still conducting a second round of investigation." The relevant person in charge of the Propaganda Department of Jiuzhaigou County Committee said. (End)
