To guard against the strong winds and heavy rainfall brought by this year’s No. 9 typhoon, “Bavi,” and to prevent safety incidents caused by extreme weather, thereby ensuring the safety of project operations, equipment, and personnel, Wuhan Jinhuasheng Railway Locomotive Co., Ltd. promptly activated its emergency response, issued an urgent typhoon‑prevention notice, and coordinated with affected project sites—including Shangrao, Liangshan Port, North China Petrochemical, and Wugang—to comprehensively reinforce preventive measures and strengthen the safety production defense system.

In light of the strong winds and heavy rainfall associated with typhoon landfall, the company has moved risk‑prevention measures upstream and established clear 24‑hour pre‑landfall warning and control requirements. Each project team strictly enforces a system of round‑the‑clock on‑site supervision by designated leaders and dedicated personnel, proactively coordinates with the client’s safety and environmental departments, and closely monitors real‑time weather alerts to ensure timely communication of instructions and effective implementation of preventive measures. At the worksite, safety briefings are conducted before each shift, and foremen are granted temporary authority to halt operations; in the event of severe winds, torrential rain, poor visibility, or other emergencies, work must be stopped immediately, resolutely preventing any risky construction activities.

Focusing on critical areas such as train operations, equipment maintenance, and station premises, the company has refined specialized control measures for adverse weather conditions. Prior to the arrival of a typhoon, all project teams have completed the relocation of parked trainsets, implemented dual anti‑slip safeguards—using both wheel chocks and hand brakes—and set up protective signals, while capturing photographic records throughout the entire operation. Train‑operation procedures strictly adhere to established protocols for inclement weather: during heavy rain, trains are operated at reduced speeds and lookout duties are intensified, with the principle of “better to stop than to proceed blindly” firmly upheld. At the same time, comprehensive inspections are conducted to ensure unobstructed drainage systems, and measures are put in place to waterproof equipment, reinforce sheds, and clear debris, with adequate stockpiles of flood‑control supplies maintained. The company has instituted a system of named‑recording communications for all personnel, strictly restricting the movement of staff and vehicles during the typhoon period. Meanwhile, the dispatch center maintains continuous, coordinated on‑call coverage, dynamically monitoring the flood‑prevention response efforts at each project site.

Following the issuance of the directive, each project team sprang into action, conducting item-by-item inspections and implementing immediate corrective measures. At the Shangrao Project, Zhang Hai led his team in carrying out comprehensive, grid‑style inspections focused on slope stability, irrigation channels, and other key flood‑control areas. They identified two potential slope‑related hazards and promptly reported them to the local authorities, while simultaneously putting temporary protective measures in place and stockpiling adequate emergency supplies, thereby ensuring robust proactive risk mitigation.

Led by Acting Station Master Wang Bo, the Liangshan Port Project Team, in collaboration with management personnel, key Party members, skilled maintenance technicians, and client‑side staff, conducted comprehensive safety inspections of critical areas throughout the station, including track infrastructure, locomotive sheds, charging stations, and employee dormitories. A total of 18 potential hazards were identified, with 8 rectified on site. Remedial measures have been implemented, such as locking shoe boxes, reinforcing guardrails, securing sheds against wind, tightening external equipment, installing anti‑rollback locks on locomotives, and anchoring equipment. For the remaining 10 hazards, timelines for corrective action have been agreed upon with the client, while work to clear dead branches and debris along the tracks is being advanced in parallel. The project team will maintain ongoing oversight and follow‑up to ensure that all identified risks are fully addressed and eliminated.

At present, the company is closely monitoring the typhoon’s trajectory and weather conditions, maintaining a state of full readiness across all personnel, and increasing the frequency of on‑duty patrols and on‑site inspections. During the typhoon’s passage, the principle of “inspect first, reopen later” is strictly enforced; immediately after the storm clears, comprehensive re‑inspections are conducted on subgrades, track sleepers, overhead contact systems, and rolling stock equipment. Operations are resumed in an orderly manner only after confirming that all systems are safe and sound, ensuring that rigorous measures safeguard safety and enabling each project to safely navigate the flood season.
