BEIJING: China’s state-owned companies have secured their pace on key infrastructure projects, especially those concerning local livelihoods, despite recent weather hazards and other inevitable challenges.
Extreme rain is on its way. All units, be prepared, announced Sun Yongqiang, a safety control officer of the China Railway 24th Bureau Group Corp Ltd, issuing a flood notice.
Situated in the heart of Zhejiang province, Yongkang South Railway Station found itself perched on the precipice of an impending deluge during the torrential rain caused by Typhoon Doksuri in China, which turned roads into rivers and trapped hundreds in the Yongkang city.
However, CR24, the builder of the station’s supporting infrastructure project, successfully kept the construction site intact through rapid response and efficient precautionary measures.
All project members joined the local flood control operation to ensure overall safety and project progress, said Pei Bing, chief engineer of the supporting project.
Although the heavy rain lasted for eight hours, no damage or injuries were caused at the project. — China Daily/ANN
