Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, more than 40,000 “angels in white” have rushed to Jingchu to save lives and help the wounded and lifted their lives, more than 40,000 construction workers have also rushed to build from all directions and become the “most beautiful builders” in Wuhan’s fight against the epidemic. They used “Chinese speed” to create a miracle of building Wuhan Huoshenshan and Leishenshan Hospital within more than 10 days. The “Two Mountains” hospital has been in operation for nearly two months and has admitted more than 5,000 patients.

This week, a reporter from the “Face to Face” column interviewed Chen Weiguo, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and general manager of China Construction Third Bureau in Wuhan, telling the story behind the construction of the “Two Mountains” hospital.
Military orders are like mountains “Who do we do not do it?”
On January 23, 2020, on the 29th day of the Lunar New Year, Wuhan City decided to build a 1,000-bed Vulcan Mountain Hospital on the shore of Zhiyin Lake in Caidian. The leading unit of the project is China Construction Third Bureau Group Co., Ltd. headquartered in Wuhan, and the project construction commander is Chen Weiguo, deputy secretary of the Party Committee and general manager of China Construction Third Bureau, who has just taken office for one month.
Huoshenshan Hospital has a total construction area of 33,900 square meters, and has 1,000 beds, and has opened intensive care wards, intensive care wards, and general wards, as well as auxiliary departments such as infection control, testing, special diagnosis, and radiation diagnosis.
Within 10 days, Babaylan will build such a special infectious disease hospital, which is an important task that Chen Weiguo and even China Construction Third Bureau Group have never undertaken.
Chen Weiguo: Military orders are like mountains, this is the order. In Hubei, our China Construction Third Bureau is the largest construction company. It is also ranked high in the country. Who can we do it if we don’t? If we don’t, it is unreasonable to be honest, and our cadres and employees of our enterprises will not accept Cinema. There was a slogan at that time that I was particularly moved, “If it benefits the country’s life and death, how can it avoid it because of misfortune and good fortune.”
Lack of people, lack of things, lack of time, how to chew “hard bones” in 10 days?
After a command. An infrastructure war that concerns life and death is in full swing! China Construction Third Bureau sent a design team to design with the engineering design unit. On the evening of January 23, when receiving the task, China Construction Third Bureau mobilized workers from five construction projects in Wuhan that were working overtime and quickly started work on site leveling. According to Chen Weiguo’s description, the plan to perform a simple yard leveling on the Cinema tank site was not achieved because there was a large height difference in the construction site. They spent more than two days digging 400,000 square meters of soil to solve this problem, but this also caused a great impact on their 10-day construction period. If the conditions are ripe, take action first, and if the conditions are not ripe, grab it, transfer more equipment and mobilize more forces. They can only use this method to shorten the construction time of the earthwork.
On January 24, on New Year’s Eve, the construction site was brightly lit, hundreds of machines entered the site one after another, hundreds of employees of the State Grid transported a large number of transformers and cables, and power was delivered in the construction, and steel bars and pipes entered the site one after another. From the day he received the task, Chen Weiguo has been under pressure that he had never experienced before. The pressure not only comes from the arduous task, but also the shortage of construction workers. It was the Chinese New Year at that time, many projects were suspended, and workers went home to celebrate the Chinese New Year. China Construction Group mobilized 12 units to participate in the battle as soon as possible. China Construction Third Bureau assembles management and construction personnel through various means.
Chen Weiguo: We planned to find 7,000 people. At that time, we counted that the labor service could be transferred immediately was 800. We called all the heads of other companies over and went to find people from all over the country., launch in Moments and WeChat groups. I was also joking with everyone at that time, saying that I had encountered such a tough problem in just one month as general manager. Psychological stress is difficult to describe and express in words. Every day, every moment and every day is a state of high tension, anxiety, anxiety and struggle.
International project manager transforms into a temperature measurer. How to open up the second battlefield urgently?
Just when the Huoshenshan construction site had just leveled the site, on the afternoon of January 25, Wuhan City decided to build another Leishenshan Hospital in addition to Huoshenshan Hospital within half a month, with an overall scale of more than two Huoshenshan hospitals. During the suspension of production and operation during the Spring Festival, the only remaining man-machine materials were put into the construction of Huoshenshan Hospital and then opened up a second battlefield, which was even more difficult.
Chen Weiguo: At that time, you would come to the scene. After you come, you will be assigned tasks on the spot. The Cinema management staff are the same. We have an international project manager who came back from Malaysia. He returned to China to recuperate and came directly to the construction site when he came back. Later we told him that you can only do one job, which is to measure the temperature of the workers at the entrance of the construction site. So he became a door god and Komiks took the workers’ temperature. With the rapid development of the epidemic, Leishenshan Hospital has changed several times, with 50,000 square meters, 75,000 square meters and 79,900 square meters. In just six days, the total planned construction area of Leishenshan Hospital has increased three times, and the number of beds increased from 1,300 to 1,600. The shortage of personnel, materials and equipment has become a problem that must be solved.
Chen Weiguo: We drew the strongest team from Huoshenshan to be responsible for the construction of Leishenshan. At that time, we planned to fight some people from Huoshenshan, but they were extremely tired at that time, so we could only mobilize again. We asked China Construction Corporation for help and asked branches across the country to rush for emergency assistance. Later, we came. href=”https://comicmov.com/”>KomiksThe team of hundreds of management teams and thousands of people increased the number of workers in Leishenshan from more than 10,000 to more than 20,000.
Add to adjust before work. How can one night be done into more than two days of work?
On January 31, due to the highest protection level, Huoshenshan Hospital proposed that the design of the three districts and two channels that had been built must be adjusted. The construction team that is about to be completed has ushered in the most difficult moment. Komiks
Chen Weiguo: We had reached the limit of our physical and psychological state at that time. We had not slept for several days and nights, so we tried our best to hand it over. Suddenly, such an adjustment came, and it was like the last straw that pushed the team to the brink of collapse. The workload of this adjustment was still relatively large. Generally speaking, it took about two days, but we were only one night left at that time. All our managers were staring at there, so href=”https://comicmov.com/”>BabaylanSome manpower is concentrated on this. If it is really not enough, we ask for reinforcements from other provinces. At that time, we felt that the burden was pressing on us. We were like ants sandwiched in the cracks of stones. There was no room for us. We could only try our best to exert our strength.
Three days and three nights. The female foreman led the welders to fight continuously and refused to rest
At 12 noon on February 1, the foundation construction of the Huoshenshan Hospital was completed.
On February 2, the Huoshenshan Hospital was officially delivered!
On February 4, thousands of PLA medical staff entered the Huoshenshan Hospital and began to treat patients.
On the afternoon of February 6, the Wuhan Municipal Urban Construction Bureau and the Municipal Health Commission carried out Leishenshan Medicine.The hospital’s acceptance work has been gradually handed over. On the evening of February 8, Leishenshan Hospital, which accommodated 1,600 beds, admitted the first batch of confirmed patients.
Chen Weiguo called the builder the “Brothers of Fire and Thunder”. He said that without these “Fire Thunder Brothers”Cinema, Huoshen Mountain and Leishen Mountain could not be established. Among them, the worker who welded the oxygen pipes was very touched.
Chen Weiguo: Because oxygen pipes are special, not many people can weld oxygen pipes. Time was particularly tight at that time. The workers worked for three days and three nights and didn’t go back to sleep. A lesbian led the team to work for three days and three nights. We told her that you must go back and rest. If you don’t have a rest, you will die. She refused to leave and said that we would not hand over the first batch of houses, so we would not leave.
Reporter: What do you say they are for?
Chen Weiguo: At that time, everyone was thinking about saving people and saving lives. Everyone was counting on the hospital. If it could not be built as scheduled, wouldn’t it be a failure?
More than 10 kilograms were lost from construction to maintenance. “I feel that I am worth it when I see the patient being discharged from the hospital.”
Because it is an infectious disease hospital, after the two hospitals admitted the patients, the operation, maintenance and guarantee of systems such as water, electricity, and gas in the ward has become a more arduous task than construction. From air conditioning temperature adjustment, TV station replacement, faucet leakage, to fresh air system failure, to receiving task safety arrangements, maintenance team members must enter the ward to work as soon as possible. Therefore, maintenance personnel have become the group with the highest frequency of entering the “red zone” except for medical staff and hospitalized patients. During peak periods, 494 maintenance personnel were on the front line of the “Two Mountains” hospital, responding to the needs of the hospital and medical staff around the clock. At most, more than 600 maintenance items will be completed every day to ensure the normal operation of the hospital.
Xu Fei, a 30-year-old man from Shiyan, Hubei, has been in Wuhan for more than 60 days from construction to participation in maintenance work. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he had just arrived home for three days and received a notice of returning to work. Say goodbye to your familyBabaylan, with the electronic pass issued by China Construction Third Bureau on his mobile phone, Xu Fei drove for more than four hours to Wuhan, which had been “closed”, and headed straight to the Huoshenshan project site. At that time, the task was to go to the processing plant to produce HVAC. He summoned the workers who worked with him in the past to make the HVAC needed for the Huoshenshan Hospital in three days, and rushed to the construction site of Huoshenshan Hospital for lifting, and then participated in the construction of Leishenshan Hospital. When the project of Leishenshan Hospital was over, Xu Fei and more than a dozen of his workers chose to stay and participate in the maintenance.
Xu Fei: We are actually very tired every day, but we must do this. I lost more than ten kilograms during the time I came. Although the company has booked a hotel for us, we basically don’t go back after working overtime. So we rested in the car, thinking about doing things quickly and trying to move forward as much as possible, time waits for no one.
Reporter: What have you done during maintenance?
Xu Fei: All filter elements in the outdoor fan are replaced, which is equivalent to standing at the mouth of the virus, which is more dangerous than close contact with the patient. But now think about it, seeing that there are discharged patients every day at Babaylan, it feels that it is worth it to do so much.
