"Safe Production Month" Series Report 2: Operation and Maintenance Center's Flood and Typhoon Prevention Emergency Drill Strengthens the Power Plant's "Safety Wall"
With the arrival of the main flood season in most parts of the country, in order to effectively respond to possible local rainstorms and various flood control emergencies, comprehensively strengthen the power station's flood and typhoon prevention emergency response capabilities, and improve the awareness of all staff members regarding "preventing major floods, fighting major disasters, and dealing with major emergencies," Qingtian Technology's Operation and Maintenance Center conducted a flood and typhoon prevention emergency drill on June 28.
To ensure the feasibility and effectiveness of this exercise, the exercise simulated the following three scenarios for targeted flood prevention drills, from early warning to emergency team action and on-site rescue, with each team quickly and flexibly completing their respective drill tasks.
I. Extreme heavy rainfall warning: There is a possibility that the power station's booster station may be flooded.
At 5 p.m. , the flood and typhoon prevention emergency response team received an alarm from the on-duty personnel, predicting extreme heavy rainfall and the possibility of flooding at the power station's substation. The team leader announced the activation of the emergency response plan.
At 5:15, under the organization of the emergency leadership team, the maintenance personnel quickly arrived at the scene. According to the power outage command, they first carried out the power outage operation. Then, according to the station manager's order, they used flood control sandbags to seal all entrances and possible water ingress points of important electrical equipment such as the control room and high voltage room. At the same time, they checked again to confirm whether there was any water leakage in the equipment room roof and whether the drainage ditch was unobstructed.
2. Continuous rainfall caused water to backflow into the cable well.
At 5:40 a.m., the on-duty personnel discovered water accumulation in the cable well and notified the power station manager. The manager and maintenance personnel quickly rushed to the scene with water pumps, mobile power supply junction boxes, flood control sandbags, and other supplies. They pumped water from the cable well and used flood control sandbags to block the water accumulation.
III. Risk of damage to owner's equipment and materials due to roof leaks
At 6:30 AM, the Customer Operations Department received a simulated notification from a business owner regarding a leaking roof, posing a risk of water damage to factory equipment and supplies. The department immediately reported the incident to the Flood and Typhoon Prevention Emergency Response Team and dispatched the station manager and maintenance personnel to the scene for emergency repairs. Simultaneously, they actively communicated with the business owner to relocate equipment and supplies. At 6:42 AM, the station manager and maintenance personnel arrived at the scene and covered and protected any materials that could not be moved with tarpaulins.
On the day of the drill, all aspects of flood control and emergency response, from information reporting, emergency response, early warning, material transfer and resettlement, to drainage and rescue, were carried out in a well-organized manner, and all tasks were completed within the scheduled time.
This exercise improved the emergency response, command and coordination, on-site handling, and material support capabilities of the operation and maintenance center's flood and typhoon prevention command group in dealing with sudden flood events. It also trained the emergency rescue team and provided valuable practical experience for safe flood season management.
