When the first ray of dawn broke through the night, the construction site of the Pinglu Canal Youth Hub Project of the Fourth Navigation Bureau was already a busy scene. Looking at the team members fighting under the "Youth Flag", project secretary Yu Youwen said happily: "Thanks to the unique 'youth culture' of the project, our team is more energetic."
Guangxi Pinglu Canal Youth Hub 1 The construction content of the first phase of the project includes diversion open channels, onshore earth and rock excavation and other projects, of which the earth and rock excavation volume reached 17.78 million cubic meters. Such a huge amount of work will take at least 1 to 2 years to complete according to the normal construction schedule. However, according to the contract, the project team must complete this seemingly impossible task within 7 months.
Time is tight and the task is heavy. Yu Youwen understands that he must find a way to boost the "spirit" of the team and muster up the energy to create miracles. When consulting local historical data, Yu Youwen learned that: 65 years ago, in order to resist the frequent flood disasters at that time, protect the lives and property of the people of Qinzhou, and respond to the call of the party, young people from all over the country came to Qinzhou and formed a team. The "Youth Commando" with more than 7,000 people built the current "Youth Floodgate" by carrying it on their shoulders. The current youth hub is built in the hope that this great spirit can continue to be inherited in the new front line of projects. and carry forward.
Yu Youwen was deeply moved by the stories of the older generation of "Youth Commandos" and came up with the idea of "making good use of red resources and continuing the red bloodline." "The water gate has a deep connection with us. We should dig deep into the spirit of building the gate, hold on to the 'baton' of the 'May Fourth' spirit, and create a new generation of 'youth commandos.'" Yu Youwen's proposal received a positive response from everyone. In order to deeply understand the spiritual strength of our predecessors in overcoming difficulties, the project department invited Peng Shihou, who was responsible for the task of building the sluice at that time, to hold a unique "Youth Thinking Party" at the former site of the Youth Sluice.
Looking at the running water in the sluice, the 85-year-old Peng Shihou seemed to have returned to that hot summer: "There was no equipment at that time, so we had to pick all the materials one load at a time..." The old man was filled with emotion as he listened. With the sound of strength, everyone seemed to see the scene of enthusiastic young people sweating on the banks of the Qinjiang River. The participants were deeply touched. Wang Yan, the director of the Project Safety Department, said with emotion: "After listening to the deeds of our predecessors and thinking that we are writing a new history with both hands, I feel full of motivation."
How to transform spiritual power into motivation to promote project construction Productivity has become the focus of everyone's discussion. At Yu Youwen's suggestion, a flag with "Youth Team" printed on it was raised at the project site, and more than 50 technical backbones formed a "Youth Team" under the flag to claim the construction area in groups. Taking it as their mission to write the story of a new generation of "Commandos", they led more than 1,100 builders and more than 600 pieces of machinery and equipment to set off a construction boom at the construction site, setting a construction record of excavating 250,000 cubic meters of earth and stone and transporting more than 13,000 vehicles in a single day. .
Under the leadership of the "Youth Team", there was a strong atmosphere of learning and catching up at the work site. The project team completed the goal of opening the diversion channel to water in just 199 days, seven and a half months ahead of schedule; it took less than 10 months. The construction of 220,000 cubic meters of gabion cages and 150,000 cubic meters of concrete pouring was completed within the specified time, successfully completing the flood discharge target. Yu Youwen said with emotion: "We need to further condense the spiritual core of the 'Youth Team' and let the 'Youth Culture' play a stronger leading role in the pouring of the main body of the ship lock."
The first phase of the Pinglu Canal Youth Hub pilot project was successfully delivered Later, the main construction task of the ship lock kicked off, and the "Youth Team" will continue to be active at the forefront, using their youthful blood to build the Guangxi people's dream of "connecting the river to the sea". Yu Youwen said: "I hope that after the project is completed, the 'Youth Team' can continue to bring the spiritual power of unremitting advancement to the youth of Qinzhou like the 'Youth Commando' back then."
