Rainstorm blue warning sounded, bungalow area actively prepares for house repair
24 hours flood control in an outbreak
After the rainstorm blue warning occurred, the rush repair personnel checked the vacancies again and again.
Thunderstorms in Beijing have recently been “online” frequently. Since June 18, the meteorological departments of various districts have issued a total of about 40 rainstorm blue warnings. Leakage of houses has become one of the most worrying issues for residents, especially those in cottage areas.
On July 2nd, the Meteorological Department of Dongcheng District issued the first blue rain warning for the first rainstorm since the flood began this year. The maintenance personnel of the housing management unit in the Beixinqiao area started the 24-hour continuous combat mode with the rain as the number. "The rain will not go, I will not go" is their most concise and powerful oath. What preparations did the "retroverts" in the rain do? The reporters followed them to launch a direct 24-hour scene and recorded the bits and pieces of the blue warning.

Inspection revealed cracks in the wall
"Yes, the emergency rescue must be fixed, and I will be there no matter how late it is." At 1 pm on July 2, just after the flood control work deployment meeting was over, Zhang Wei kept on working and deployed the work of the duty staff.
Zhang Wei is the Deputy Construction Manager of Dongxin District Beixinqiao Housing Management Co., Ltd. There are 12 communities in Beixinqiao area, of which 8 communities are bungalows, and the age of the houses is "not small". The earliest can be traced back to the 1950s. It is not easy to grasp the status of these houses and courtyards in detail. The local housing management unit and the sub-district office cooperated with each other, and the flood control work launched a “chase competition” with the cloud group approaching.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Wei had gone to the community to further deploy flood prevention work. The reporter noticed that he kept looking at the phone, but the picture above was very unusual. "This is an app dedicated to seeing cloud maps. Meteorologists and geological prospectors often use this software in their work. You see, there will be 2 hours before this piece of cloud will arrive in Langfang." Zhang Wei's mobile phone screen, A large cloud is moving slowly from south to north. According to his experience, when the cloud group arrived in Beijing, the heavy rain under the blue warning reached Dongcheng District at about 9 pm.
"There are six or seven hours before the rain, and we still have a lot of work to do." Zhang Wei said as he walked, the reporter followed him to a pinch in the Hutong Hutong. In the alley, the only simple building stands beside the road. During the inspection earlier in the day, the rush repair personnel in the maintenance section discovered a small crack on the outer wall of the third and fourth floor balconies of the building. Although the crack is small, once the "water" appears in the rain, the rain will leak into the balcony of the residents' home along the crack. Repair work needs to be carried out immediately. In the narrow alley, close to the wall of the simple building, tall scaffolding has been completed. "You pay attention to safety!" Zhang Wei carefully told the workers standing on the scaffold. On the scaffold, a repairman is busy repairing cracks in the wall. The old decorative layer of the wall has been shoveled out, and the newly-applied layer of gray is smeared layer by layer.
Zhang Wei pointed to the scaffolding and said that when the scaffolding lays on the first floor, the repairman climbs up one floor until the height is flush with the place to be repaired. There are many alleys and narrow roads in the Beixinqiao area, and most maintenance work still has to be done manually. Zhang Wei said that in fact, finding this crack does not mean that it will leak when it rains, but under the blue warning, their work is upgraded to respond, "We are afraid of anything in case, we must be fully prepared."

You can always find repairmen in the alley
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, from the emergency repair site to return to the office of the maintenance section, a pile of flood control emergency manuals have been delivered. Since the flood season this year, the housing management unit has issued more than 4,000 copies to residents in batches. On the 2nd day, before the rain arrives, these manuals that record emergency telephone numbers and flood control knowledge must be redistributed to residents. "Re-distribution means I'm afraid it will take a long time, and the old people forget where to put it," Zhang Wei said. There are many old people who don't use smartphones in the Hutong. Once an emergency occurs, the old people's urgently needed contact information is in this book. In the booklet.
Residents in the big miscellaneous yard say that there are also more than a dozen households. They are distributed next to each other in hutongs and distributed from house to house. The workload is not small. However, the process of walking through the streets is also a process of checking for vacancies and filling leaks. Send a handbook and ask if there are any problems with the house, which is undoubtedly a reassurance for residents.
In addition to distributing emergency manuals, emergency repair personnel should also look at roads that are prone to water accumulation and various well grates. In the afternoon of that day, walking in the surrounding hutongs, the reporter could occasionally see the figures of the flood prevention and rescue personnel, some from the housing management unit, and some from the streets of the territory. The work of the two parties is closely coordinated. The housing management unit focuses on problematic houses and roads; the streets pay more attention to residents with difficulties.
"We now have more than 40% of the staff on duty." Zhang Wei said that the rainstorm warning is divided into four levels: blue, yellow, orange and red. In the corresponding four-level response, from low to high, the duty ratio of the number of people in need of flood control is 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%, respectively. Considering the flood control characteristics of the bungalow area, the maintenance section will increase the duty ratio. In the event of rain leakage, water accumulation in low-lying courtyards, etc., it must be ensured that sufficient personnel can withstand it.
The epidemic situation also brought considerable impact on flood control work. According to the repair personnel, while working, they must ensure the safety of prevention and control. "Wearing goggles and wearing two layers of raincoats really have a greater impact, but you cannot stop flood prevention because of the epidemic."
July 3 at 8:00
Sleepless all night long
At 8 o'clock on the evening of July 2, rain began to fall in the sky, and footsteps were heard in front of the maintenance section. "This is our section chief Liu Xueguang." With the introduction of Zhang Wei, Master Liu Xueguang took off the hood of the raincoat. The reporter saw that the teacher in front of him was repairing the cracks of the building in the alley of the gun office in the afternoon. that person. As soon as he entered the room, Liu Xueguang said to him, "Now there are places outside the Fourth Ring Road that are already under a lot. We will see if we are going down here to watch the middle of the night and we cannot relax."
Every year when the flood season arrives, the work of the repair personnel is completely based on the rain. If the rain does not go, people cannot go. Without time to rest, Zhang Wei and Liu Xueguang started a new round of work. "Due to historical reasons, some houses are relatively aging. We have watched these houses many times before they entered the flood." Liu Xueguang said while checking tools such as flashlights and box rulers, braving the light rain, he and Zhang Wei wanted to put these again You can rest assured only by looking at the old house again. "The structure of this tile is commonly known as the "gray stem". As the name implies, there is a row of grooves between the gray tiles. This is a drain for rainwater. If the tiles are damaged, the roof of this structure is prone to leaking. "In the former Yongkang Hutong, Liu Xueguang illuminated a row of flat roof tiles with a flashlight, and Zhang Wei stuck to the wall to determine whether there was a problem with the wall.
At 11 o'clock on the 2nd, the rain ran down the eaves and made a loud noise, preventing the rain from coming all day.
Throughout the night, although the rain was large and small, it stopped when it came. Liu Xueguang sat in front of the phone and stayed up all night, waiting for residents to call for repairs at any time, but until 8 am on the 3rd, the repair call did not ring once.
13:00, July 3
Prepare enough to pass safely
I thought it would be a busy night, and the residents' call for repairs would rush the repair crews into chaos. However, the phone did not move for a long time, and the violent heavy rain passed smoothly.
"When I first came to this maintenance section in early 2000, I was really upset when I went to the house." Liu Xueguang admitted that at that time, the housing foundation of the cottage area in Beixinqiao area was relatively poor. The work is extremely difficult, catching heavy rainfall, and there are also a dozen or so phone calls in one night. Residents’ houses leaked during the rainstorm. They need to be covered urgently. They walked into the house with a shallow foot, and stepped on it accidentally. The roof. With the vigorous support of the relevant government departments, the bungalows in the jurisdiction continue to be repaired. This phenomenon is now very difficult to see.
The repair personnel also worked out a set of working methods in many years of practice. For example, if a resident reported a house repair problem, the rush repair staff would take a look at the other houses in and outside the yard and found that the problem was also repaired. In this way, the checkpoints for dealing with hidden dangers are moved forward, and all preparations should be done.
"This is also responsible for the safety of personnel." Liu Xueguang has been in contact with house repair work since 1992. According to his experience, the risk of rain repairs is very high. When it is dark, the tiles on the roof will be particularly wet. Slippery, soaked in rain also becomes relatively vulnerable. Doing maintenance work well before heavy rain is also a good way to improve the safety factor of emergency repairs.
On the afternoon of July 3, Liu Xueguang told reporters that the entire night of rain did not wait for a resident to call for repairs, which fully explained that after unremitting efforts in recent years, the housekeeping maintenance preparation work has achieved results, "We plan for rain, we ran in the rain In front of the cloud."
