Section 5 Port Construction (2)
"U.C0079, U.C0083, U.C0093, and A.C0197 personnel all gathered at Green Beach to prepare to unload the vehicle."
With the call of the walkie-talkie, several professional groups who had just come down from the trestle climbed up from the beach lazily -- codenamed Red Beach, Red Beach was the landing point from Pier 1, Yellow Beach was the landing point for small boats, and Green Beach was the landing point for barges and landing craft -- after a day's sake, their legs and feet were a little fluttering when they were down-to-earth. At the rest point, they unloaded their big backpacks and sat on the rocks panting, saying that they were personnel rest points, but in fact, there was nothing but a small folding table with computers and ledgers and a wooden sign with a few large characters at the staff rest point. The sandy beach, which is full of large and small round gravels, is scattered with several signs: toilets, drinking water points, etc., indicating that these things will be in the future.
Of the four groups, U.C. has a license to drive a large vehicle, and AC has a construction machinery license. Although the North American rudder's Qian Shui Association repeatedly stated that his intention was to go to the military group to defend the crossing regime with guns, the professional skills he filled in - driving a large container truck made him fall to UC.0079. Working with a group of people he didn't know was a bit boring, but he immediately discovered someone who was even more depressed than himself: Bai Yu, a military talent who graduated from the command major of the armored corps, weapons design and engineering design, was sent to drive a tracked tractor.
In order to start the infrastructure project as soon as possible after landing, Mondstadt and the Executive Committee organized a classification of materials before loading, and loaded all the materials that will be used immediately after landing on a 1,500-ton self-propelled barge, including various vehicles, construction machinery and infrastructure materials.
The full draft of a flat-deck self-propelled barge is only 1.83 meters, and although it is not as close as a landing craft to the beach, it is closer than a large cargo ship offshore. Of course, vehicles with such water depths cannot be launched directly into the water, so a floating dock is also equipped here, called No. 2 floating dock.
The self-propelled barge does not have a vehicle springboard, and it does not have a boom of its own. Fortunately, the engineering team was prepared for this matter, and a group of vehicles were installed on the No. 2 floating pier.
"Ready to unload! Everyone pay attention to safety, wear life jackets, and get out of the car immediately if there is a possibility of falling into the water, don't be afraid, haven't everyone driven on the ferry, the same ......" Bai Yu, as the temporary leader of these four groups, cheered for while carrying out safety education.
These dozens of people, you look at me, I look at you, thinking to myself, can this be the same? Start up from this swaying deck, drive up the narrow gangplank, and down to the dangling floating dock - that's too difficult, isn't it?
Bai Yu saw that everyone was hesitating, and knew that someone had to set an example first. Anyway, I had driven a tank in the army back then, so I turned my heart and shouted: "Help me watch it!" "The first to climb on that Dongfanghong 1202 general-purpose crawler tractor.
The roar of the tractor starting made Bai Yu feel a little at ease, the angle of view of the cab was very good, and the 24V battery started quickly and steadily. Bai Yu has driven tanks, armored transport vehicles, and all kinds of military engineering vehicles in the army, and it is a piece of cake to get on and off the boat bridge or boat bridge barge, but the current floating dock and vehicle springboard are purely handmade copycats, and only God knows how much strength and bearing capacity there is.
Looking hesitantly at the rickety springboard on the blue water and the undulating pier below the springboard, he started the engine, and the boat fluttered visibly. He didn't care much, his eyes were fixed on Qian Shuixie, who was waving a small flag and commanding, and the tracks were spinning on the steel plate, making a grinning sound like grinning, and rubbing on the springboard step by step. As soon as the track pressed on the gangplank, the floating dock below fluttered, and the gangplank was displaced, which frightened the people around him.
"What are you stunned! Hold on to the wire rope! ”
The engineering team has already installed 4 wire ropes on the barge, so that they can be manually tightened during unloading to reduce the drift of the ship and the dock as much as possible.
"Pull it!" In his incessant roar, the people around him hurriedly grabbed the wire rope, and the body was pulled backwards, and it was not easy for the tractor to drive onto the floating dock.
With the first successful experience, the next thing is much easier, and after two hours, all the construction machinery owned by the crossing people came ashore and was neatly parked on the beach:
Two Dongfanghong 1202 general-purpose crawler tractors with dredger bucket and bulldozer blade
Four Dongfanghong 404Z1W front-loading (loading) and post-excavation (soil) tractors (medium-wheel tow)
Four Dongfanghong 170V wheeled tractors (small wheel tractors)
Ten Changchai powered single-cylinder diesel dump trucks
An 18-ton Dongfanghong wheeled roller.
A 25-ton steam crane
Two sets of tractor-type concrete mixers
Four air compressors
In order to reduce the complexity of maintenance, most construction machinery have chosen the Dongfanghong series of Luoyang No. 1 Tractor Factory.
With so much equipment, not to mention a small temporary base, even to build a new city.
But Mei Wan and Bingfeng, who are in charge of infrastructure work, still feel a little at a loss. Machinery, fuel, and electricity are all ...... The problem is that there are no raw materials for building materials.
The barge was loaded with a lot of steel and cement, but the engineering team had no yellow sand or gravel in their hands, and they could not use the most common and convenient concrete for modern buildings. Needless to say, there must be a brick kiln in Lingao County in the Ming Dynasty, and people still need to reconnoiter where it is.
Of course, some infrastructure construction does not require any raw materials, because it is simple. Icewind is tasked with repairing a cargo yard at Red Beach. This is only a temporary cargo yard and there is no need for ground hardening. Simple ground stacking compaction, supplemented by a certain drainage system, will do. Based on Bingfeng's past experience in a construction company, a team of 10 or 20 migrant workers for a project of this scale can be completed in one morning with hand tools such as shovels, pickaxes, and wheelbarrows.
In this way, the transportation team became a freight yard construction team, and the machines roared all over Red Beach, and the vehicles were bumpy and running back and forth, and the dust raised was half a day high, and everyone knew that the Red Beach Freight Yard was already under construction. The fiery atmosphere attracted the ubiquitous Tintin couple. The foreign girl is violent, the temperature on the beach is only twenty-seven or eight degrees, so she climbs up and down in a tight vest and denim hot pants to take pictures, two bare snow-white thighs dangling in front of everyone, and from time to time digging a round ass to grab the camera, you can see that the old and young on the construction site are all surging with blood and blood, and the physiological changes are obvious. After several dump trucks almost hit people and excavators dug in the wrong direction, Bingfeng had no choice but to drive the two away.
The ground of the yard has a certain slope from south to north, after measurement, it is found that the slope is less than 1:10, generally such a slope condition can not be removed from the topsoil, and the large stones and miscellaneous trees of the surface layer can be directly tamped by simply removing the surface layer, but after taking the soil sample, it is found that the surface layer is almost all loose sand and small gravel, and the adhesion is not strong. Zuihou still uses a bulldozer to completely remove the sandy soil and gravel from the top.
The stockpile is on a slope, so the entire stockpile foundation is half-filled and half-dug. First of all, an excavator is used to excavate a water interception ditch at the highest slope on the south side of the yard to collect the rainwater that slopes down from the slope, and then excavate the drainage ditch from the east and west sides to discharge it directly into the bay, and the excavated soil is used as the foundation fill.
After removing the surface layer of gravel, the soil sample below is sandy, which is permeable and stable after compaction. Ice Wind took all of this soil as the foundation soil. THE FILL TRANSPORTED BY A SMALL DUMP TRUCK IS POURED ON THE FOUNDATION, AND EVERY 20CM OF LANDFILL IS ROLLED BACK AND FORTH WITH A ROLLER 3 TIMES, THEN FILLED AND THEN ROLLED. After two consecutive times, it is almost finished. Bingfeng originally planned to spread a layer of gravel on top of the entire site, but they didn't have a stone crusher, and the stones on the beach were large and small, and the shape was irregular, so it was not easy to use. This step is omitted. After completion, the whole yard is slightly raised above the ground, with a rectangular overlook, with slopes on three sides, a drainage ditch at the bottom of the slope, and an improvised road connecting the pier to the bay according to the standard of a temporary road.
"If you have enough steel beams, you can build a shed for this yard." Bingfeng was a little regretful, "Now I can only cover my pocket with a tarpaulin." ”
"There's no roof with asbestos tiles." Mei Wan said.
"It doesn't matter, it's just covered with wooden planks, and temporary buildings don't have to be so particular. I'm mainly afraid of the cement coming down from the barges, which can be used as earthwork to fill the foundation if it rains. Without cement, a lot of things would be difficult. ”
"Planks? Speaking of which, where is the wood? The towers of the camp and the toilets had to be made of wood. ”
"We are organizing manpower to unload the tarpaulin on the ship, and strive to deliver it as soon as possible to cover all the vulnerable goods." Dai Hui is the administrator of the planning commission stationed in Hongtan, "timber, there are no statistics until now......
Wood is one of the earliest and most widely used natural materials by human beings. Of course, the traversers will not give up on this kind of material that is easy to obtain and difficult to process. From the very beginning, the manpower group allocated a considerable amount of labor to the logging.
In the impression of many people, since Hainan is an island in the tropics and subtropics, it must be a place with coconut trees and dense forests, and some people think that Hainan is full of tropical rainforests, but in fact, due to different terrain, climate differences and long-term man-made development, Hainan's vegetation situation is quite complicated. By the fifties of the twentieth century, Hainan's forest coverage rate was only 12.8 percent. They are basically concentrated in the middle of the island, such as Diaoluo Mountain, Jianfeng Ridge and Bawang Ridge. Although the forest coverage rate of Hainan in the 21st century has reached 51.8%, it is basically dominated by plantations and secondary forests.
Lingao is a typical tropical monsoon climate, dry and wet seasons are obvious, the natural vegetation is mainly tropical savanna, and there is never a vast forest. In addition, because of the long history of development, the larger natural forests have long been cut down, and the quality of the secondary forests is not high. When the traversers were ready to ask for timber from 17th-century Lingao, they were faced with such a scarce environment.
