The simulated situation was built close to the reality of the rainy and storm season when the reservoir area experienced prolonged heavy rain, the water flow to the reservoir increased sharply, forcing it to operate regulating discharge with a flow rate of 300m3/s to ensure the safety of the works and downstream areas.
During operation, a 22kV power pole collapse incident occurred in the area of the road to the spillway, causing the valve gate operating system to lose power.
At the same time, the backup diesel generator also encountered an incident, forcing the operating force to deploy a plan to use mobile oil pumps for emergency flood discharge.
Faced with the complex simulated situation, the participating forces quickly deployed to inspect the scene, set up barriers, arrange warning signs and mobilize sufficient manpower and vehicles according to the built plan.
In addition to disaster prevention, the company also conducted drills to handle electric shock and food poisoning situations to improve first aid skills and ensure labor safety for officials and employees.
