China News Agency, Panjin, August 5th (Wang Yilin) ​​After several days of fighting, on August 5th, near the breach of the Raoyang River in Panjin City, Liaoning Province, the decisive battle for the breach and blocking officially started.

At present, the wrapping of the northern section of the breach has been completed, and the blocking work of the northern section has advanced more than 10 meters.

  Affected by two rounds of heavy rainfall on July 7 and July 28, on August 1, a dam on the Shusilian section of the left bank of the Raoyang River in Panjin City, Liaoning Province suffered serious water penetration and burst, and the width of the burst once expanded to 50%. meters or so.

  After the danger occurred, the General Office of National Defense and the Emergency Management Department urgently dispatched more than 250 key rescue forces and more than 280 sets of equipment to perform the task of blocking the dike break.

  On the afternoon of the 4th, the Mi-171 of Qingdao Helicopter Company was coordinated by the Emergency Management Department to start hoisting the hexagonal caisson.

The caisson is placed in a semi-circle at the breach, wrapping the head on the north bank of the upper reaches of the river.

This is the final preparation before the blockade battle begins.

  On the morning of the 5th, China Aneng Group, which was on-site construction, used various types of high-precision equipment such as multi-beam unmanned detection ships and current-measuring drones to jointly fight to block the breach.

  According to Wang Yongping, director of safety and director of the safety and environmental protection department of China Eneng Group, at the blockade site, the embankment was excavated to divert the flood, and the roads upstream and downstream of the breach were repaired to ensure that the blocked roads were unblocked.

At the same time, the dike head is widened to ensure a solid working platform.

  According to the introduction of the on-site staff, in order to solve the problem of transportation of blocked dregs, soil and stone, the rescue team surveyed the travel route in advance, adopted the method of "fixed-point control and widening according to the situation", formed a road section for meeting vehicles, built a platform for meeting vehicles, and dispatched road dredging. The staff conducts vehicle-to-vehicle dredging to improve the traffic efficiency of slag transport vehicles.

  At present, the southern section of the collapse is still in the process of wrapping the head, and after the wrapping is over, the north-south two-way occupation will be carried out.

By then, the blocking speed will increase rapidly.

The people affected by the dam breach have been properly resettled by the local government.
