Chapter 9 The Hongqiao Incident

"Hongqiao incident, if you want to engage in the quality supervision industry, you really need to understand this period of history, do you know that the quality supervision station used to be called the quality inspection station?" Teacher Yang asked

"I don't know, when I came, it was the quality supervision station, does this have anything to do with the Hongqiao incident?" Chen Qiang asked

"It has a relationship, it has a lot to do with it, and that was 6 years ago!" Teacher Yang is now in front of the window and staring into the distance

"At 18:50 on October 4, 1999, Hongqiao, Luanjiang County, Luancheng City, collapsed as a whole, resulting in 60 deaths, 19 injuries and direct economic losses of 6.31 million yuan. Luanjiang Hongqiao is located on the Luanjiang River in Luanjiang County, and is a cross-river pedestrian bridge connecting the old and new urban areas. The bridge is a medium-bearing concrete-filled steel tube basket arch bridge, with a length of 150 meters, a net span of 130 meters for the main arch, a total width of 6 meters on the bridge deck, and a net width of 5.5 meters. At 18:50 on October 4, 1999, more than 70 people were walking on the Rainbow Bridge, and another 22 armed police soldiers stationed in Luan were training, running in line from west to east to about two-thirds of the bridge, when the entire bridge suddenly collapsed, and the people on the bridge and the armed police soldiers all fell into the Qiluan River, after struggling to rescue, 32 people survived, and 60 people died (including 18 armed police soldiers and 42 people). ”

"It's so serious! I heard about this when I was a sophomore in college, but I didn't know the specifics very well! Does this have anything to do with the quality supervision station? Chen Qiang said

"At that time, the quality supervision station was called the quality inspection station, and the difference between one word and the meaning was completely different! At that time, the quality inspector was to participate in the acceptance of the project quality throughout the process, to sign, and to be responsible for the construction quality! If there is a problem with the quality, you will have to bear legal responsibility! Teacher Yang said

"I won't say much about the specific details of the Hongqiao incident! What impressed me the most was that the construction procedures of Hongqiao started without perfecting, the quality supervision was not strictly controlled, and various factors combined to cause the current result. However, the biggest advantage of the Hongqiao incident is that the quality supervision of the project is more standardized, and the quality control of all parties involved in the construction is more strict and self-disciplined. Teacher Yang continued

"For supervisors, not insisting on the choice and keeping the bottom line is the biggest inspiration from the Hongqiao incident! If the quality inspection station could have kept any of the bottom lines at that time, it would not have been possible to have this painful lesson, of course, I don't mean to say that the responsibility should be put on the quality inspection station at that time! But you need to be hard and do a good job yourself, so that you can be strict with others! That's why I recommend that you buy a home at the market price! If you don't keep the bottom line and establish your own work principles in the first month of work, your future is in danger! Teacher Yang instructed

"Oh, I see, thank you Teacher Yang for the reminder, I understand!" Chen Qiang replied thoughtfully

"Xiao Chen, it's time to get off work, you should go back early! Tomorrow will be a hard day, remember to wear darker clothes and pants, and it is best to wear comfortable leather shoes! Teacher Yang said

"Okay, Mr. Yang, then I'll go first!" After Chen Qiang finished speaking, he began to organize his things and prepare for work, what is tomorrow's work? How can it be harder?
